Canadian Trampoline Expert?

We are always excited here at HF headquarters to get the opportunity to do something new and exciting that we haven't done before. In the case of our new friend Adam we couldn't have even made it up that we got to do something so cool.

Adam is a professional trampolinist, gymnast and acrobat from Canada. We got together with him to create some artistic photos for his portfolio and to show in still form the extent of what he can do. We had a great time making these images and I have to say that my favorite part was dragging a big trampoline around downtown Orlando so that we could get pictures of him in mid-air.

*except for the first image, all of them were taken while adam was flying through the air in our studio and outside...yes he is a little crazy.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Christina and Bryan Sneak Preview

Christina and Bryan got married this weekend and it was one of the most beautiful weddings we've ever seen. It was emotional, simple and honest. We have many many beautiful images to go through to put this album together, but just to tide you over until it's done (we will put the album online for you to view) here is a sneak preview of this amazing day. Good luck you guys! Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

Lauren

What is there to say about this woman? Actress, mother, teacher, warrior for the forces of good...the list goes on and on. Lauren is honestly one of our favorite people on the planet and we had a great time during her session this week. As always, here are a few of our favorite (and Lauren it's ok if you pick different ones).





Orlando Headshots by Hughes Fioretti

Headshots for Rachael

Since we started specializing in headshots for actors and models (in addition to weddings and portraits), we haven't had the opportunity too often to photograph many child actors. Normal kids have lots of energy, but actors are like normal kids with after-burners!

Rachael was so energetic and fun during our session, we laughed like crazy a few times over things she said and we had a great time doing it. Besides being hilarious, she is a black belt and one heck of a dancer. Good luck Rachael we loved having you and your awesome (definitely-not-a-stage-mom) mom in the studio this week.

Ian

We had an amazing session with Ian downtown this week. He is an actor and comedian from right here in town and you can catch his act at the SAK Comedy Lab. If you don't know what that is I definitely recommend it if you are looking for something new and different to do: improv sketch comedy with lots and lots of audience participation. So you can imagine that Ian is a pretty funny guy and that we spent more time laughing than taking pictures. Here are a few of our favorites from the session:

Flashes of Hope

Last week we had the amazing experience of working with Flashes of Hope, "a non-profit organization dedicated to creating uplifting portraits of children fighting cancer and other life threatening illnesses." The idea is to help these brave and beautiful children deal with their changing appearance and to create images that the families can always cherish.

We started the day early (early for us) at 8:30am at the Florida Hospital in Winter Park and spent the day there photographing 10 familes. We were joined by the amazing stylists from About Face who volunteered their time to make everyone look amazing, and what a fantastic job they did! Things moved so quickly, and the families were so loving and joyful that it was almost easy to forget where we were. I wish that I could put the whole gallery of images here for everyone to see what an amazing group of strong and lovely people they all are, but there are only room for some of our favorite captures from the day. To find out more about what Flashes of Hope is all about and to learn how you can get invloved, visit their website at www.flashesofhope.org.

William

We had an awesome session today with William that took us all over downtown. On our travels we passed by a local burrito place selling beers for 25 cents. Did we have a drink you ask? Don't be ridiculous! We're professionals! ;)

Good luck William!
