Anna Claire | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 10 April 6, 20

Anna Claire | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 10
April 6, 2020
Lubbock, TX
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm not sure when, where, or how @annaclairebeasley and I started following each other on Instagram, but today was the first time she and I actually talked to each other. We've crossed paths city-wise, but never was able to set up a time that worked for us. I think her photography is amazing. And just by seeing her stories, she does some crazy stuff that I'm scared to do. Things like rock climbing, going into caves, swimming with sharks... stuff like that. I'd rather stay at home re-watching the Office. Haha.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was excited to see she signed up for my quarantine portrait project. I'm still figuring these sessions out as far as what works and what doesn't. I started off doing these on my iPhone. Then I was able to switch to my Macbook. Then, I managed to hack my laptop to make just one key on my keyboard trigger the screenshot instead of having to hit 3 keys. So far, what's working is doing them on my Macbook and with both of us on a decent WiFi connection. I'm still approaching them in the candid way I do in-person sessions, which is why I'm glad I managed to hack my laptop to have a one key "shutter" button.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to keep saying it cause I mean it... I'm so thankful and grateful for everyone's support of this project - both emotionally and monetarily. It means the absolute world to me that ya'll support me through these crazy times we're all living in. After more and more of these, I'm sure I'll be a pro at webcam portraits. Practice makes perfect. Haha.

Sean | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 09
April 3, 2020
San Antonio, TX
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sean is a friend of my wife’s. Although we're acquaintances, I've also known him just as long as long as I've known my wife. When Amanda and I moved to Waco a few years ago, he came to our going away "party" at the bar where we got married at. Shortly after he moved to New York for a bit. I felt so bad because I thought he was still living there. But he's back in San Antonio again like us!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was nice catching up with him. I'm hoping to participate in a project he's going to be starting. I'm not sure if I can talk about it yet, but I'm excited because it sounds right up my alley. I love that this terrible situation is allowing others to think outside the box and do things that they normally wouldn't pursue because lack of time.

Caroline | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 08

San Antonio, TX
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So far, the people who have signed up for this project have all been people I know. Caroline of @socialplannerevents was the first person I hadn't met before. So it was super exciting to sit down with a total stranger. I think what made it easy what that she's a wedding planner. So we of course had plenty to talk about. Haha.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Side note: OMG I can't wait until I can go back to photographing weddings again. I might start sharing work I haven't shared yet to my stories.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyhow, Caroline was super kind and we overall had a great conversation about weddings, how amazing @mapandcompassphoto is, cooking and baking while on quarantine, and home schooling our kids. I like that all the quarantine portraits have all be fun and positive.

Éadaoin | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 07

Dublin, Ireland
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a premium member/listener of the PhotoBizX podcast that @andrew_hellmich hosts. Along with the premium podcast is a Facebook group that you get to be in. It's such a positive and supportive Facebook community for photographers. I no longer like being on Facebook, so I'm not as active in there as I should be. Éadaoin of @firechildphotography is the person who tagged me in the comments when Andrew put out the idea of doing this type of portrait series. I'm so glad she did because I might not have seen that post for at least a week or so. Doing this has been helpful since it allows me to talk to other people and sort of be creative. Éadaoin and I have been following each other for a while and also have "seen" each other in the Facebook group. However, today was the first time we've actually talked. It was nice to talk to another photographer from around the world about how we have so much to be grateful for. Things as simple as running water. I do feel a little silly doing this project. While I'm taking screenshots of people, my wife is on the other side of the room doing actual work for school. Lol. I'm just thankful for her understanding of my need to create. It's keeping me positive.

Paul | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 06 March 31, 2020 Auc

Paul | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 06
March 31, 2020
Auckland, New Zealand
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't remember where I came across @paulminors. But a few years after becoming self-employed (circa 2014) , I was having such a hard time adjusting to working for myself and working from home. I had no idea how to organize my lists of things to do, my calendar, my files, etc. For those who don't know this part of me, I'm now extremely into productivity type things and Mac related things. I began listening to his podcast and reading his blog while he was doing all that on the side. I purchased his productivity toolkit when he released it and learned so much more. A lot of his work really shaped how I'm so organized these days and why I'm also a bit nerdy on the Mac too. Lol. I was even on his podcast once!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since then, he quit his job and went full-time working for himself doing consulting work. If you need help with software like Asana or Zapier, he's your guy to hire. We've been keeping in touch this entire time, but it was honestly a surprise he wanted to sign up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was my first quarantine family portrait session. And funny thing is that he wanted the photos of my phone on a tripod like in my initial funny video that sprung this entire idea of the project. So we did those too. Thanks Paul for all you do!

Kasey | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 05 March 31, 2020 Po

Kasey | QUARANTINE PORTRAIT - 05
March 31, 2020
Portland, OR
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was excited to reconnect with Kasey. A few years ago when my wife was applying to graduate schools, one of them was in Portland, OR. Because it was going to be a possibility that we'd be living there, I began advertising my wedding photography in Portland. I wanted to make sure I had work there if we moved. Kasey was someone who inquired during that time in my life. Although I wasn't able to photograph her event, it was still great to reconnect. Those of you who are my clients know how much time I invest into my initial meetings even though I may not get hired. So for me, it was great catching up with her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best part of my conversation with Kasey was how she was telling her friends that she was going to do a session with her favorite photographer. This caused her friends to be a bit concerned cause of physical distancing. Then, she explained that it would be on video chat. And that of course confused them. Haha. I'm so glad you got to have some sort of shoot with me @kaseyjtruax!
