Teaming up with a clothing boutique is a brilliant business move and Jared Rey of Jared Rey Photography shares a session below that is a result of that very thing. Jared said he reached out to a local boutique that was getting ready for their grand opening February 12, and that turned into being perfect timing for the Valentine shoot below.

What was your inspiration for this photo shoot?
I was inspired from a post I saw on Pinterest. A lady put a geometric heart on her wall at home and that prompted me to want to do it on a larger scale.
Was this a photo shoot for a client or for yourself?
This photo shoot started out as a personal project but it turned into a collaboration once I reached out to a clothing boutique store that is getting read to open on February 12. The owner thought this would be a good opportunity to promote her clothes and the opening of her store.
If for yourself, did you want to try something different than what you normally do?
I normally shoot outdoors in natural light, I do not own a studio but really wanted to challenge myself to shoot more styled shoots indoors in 2013. This whole shoot was something definitely different than what I I typically shoot.
What did you learn from this shoot?
I learned a ton from this shoot! I think the biggest lesson I took away from the shoot is to continue to learn different lighting patterns to avoid shadows and odd reflections. Push myself to learn new techniques.
Where did you get your props and the clothing for this shoot?
I created the large geometric heart from large sheets of paper from Hobby Lobby. The clothing was provided by Hallie B. Rockwall Clothing Boutique.
Did you work with a stylist or style this on your own?
The owner of Hallie B. Rockwall handled all the styling for this shoot.
Where did this shoot take place?
Since I do not own a studio space of my own I relied on a photographer friend who was kind enough to lend me their studio space.
What time of day?
This shoot took place in the evening time.
Can you share any post processing tips?
I processed these images using the VSCO film presets for Lightroom and Alien Exposure 3 Film Emulation Plugin for Photoshop CS6.
What is your favorite thing about this session?
I loved working with a clothing boutique for this session and having unique outfits style for both models and having professional hair and make up provided by Tracy Melton Hair and Makeup Artistry.
What tips could you give to other photographers who may want to set up a Valentine’s inspired photo shoot?
If you have ideas for a Valentine’s shoot, just go out and shoot it and don’t let anything hold you back. Reach out to some local vendors who you might feel will benefit from the shoot and see if they would like to collaborate. You will never know unless you ask. I am so glad that I did for this shoot, it made a world of difference!
What is your favorite thing about senior portrait photography?
