Had a wonderful Headshot and Portrait session with Nyhanni Watson recently and these were just a few of our favorite images we made together.

She is an aspiring actress and got extremely positive feedback from her acting coach and a casting director she met with recently!!

I am looking forward to seeing what sorts of work she'll book in the coming years and wish her nothing but the best!

If you want to discuss your own artistic headshot/portrait session in the Osito Portrait Studio, please message me.

Now booking Osito Portrait Studio creative sessions for July and August. Let's connect to discuss your very own collaboration today.

Looking back on an old creative portrait collaboration with Kaitlin Reimert Pickens and I'm reminded how much love the minimalism of Black and White and its ability to draw our eyes in particular ways through an image.
