Senior Portraits: Laetitia & Francis

How do you make a senior portrait session twice as fun? Photograph it with TWINS of course!

It helps when both twins are absolutely gorgeous and could easily be models with their looks and how comfortable and natural they were with posting. Francis is a theatre star and Laetitia is a braniac academic star. Clearly both have great futures in front of them!

Part of our process is to create a Pinterest board so that the client(s) can share inspiration photos so that we can see what look and feel they would like in their portraits. We love collaborating with clients just as much as when clients tell us they want us to be creative and run free. Both approaches speak to our artistic creativity.

Although the twins said they wanted a natural look and feel for their portraits, we noticed that many of the images that they were sharing on the inspiration board on Pinterest showed an urban aesthetic as well. We quickly reached out and confirmed that they were indeed leaning towards both an urban and a natural look. Without the inspiration board, we would have missed truly meeting what they wanted!

We ended up selecting Milwaukee’s Third Ward and the ravine/waterfall at Lake Park as our locations. We were blessed with beautiful weather on the day of the session and ended up making these incredible portraits of the twins!

The portraits in the Third Ward were made using natural light only. In the ravine at Lake Park, we used a 22” beauty dish on a 400W monolight to balance out the ambient light and alleviate the shadows.
