Pursuit Gainesville Model & Headshot shoot ( Warrenton, VA)
Last week our Gainesville Pursuit group met up in Warrenton, VA to do a model shoot and headshot swap. Since Summer is coming and wedding season is upon us we didn’t have the turnout we usually do, but we still had a blast! Kayla, a makeup artist from Iva Bella Salon came out to do hair and makeup. She even joined us in a few shots! Laura, Kayla, and Nikki all did a fabulous jobs rocking the modeling! Thanks again girls! Thank you to Virginia Kerns Allen for hosting and setting up the models, and letting us use your studio! It is fun getting out and shooting just for fun from time to time. If you are a creative, and want to join us, or know more about us, see our mission below, we would love to have you!

Laura getting to model a wedding dress for the evening… isn’t she lovely?
Kayla, our makeup artist, rocking out the edgy model looks… I’m envious of her makeup skills, if you need a makeup artist call Kayla at Iva Bella Salon.
Nikki looking like a Greek Goddess..
Oh and couldn’t forget a few fun group shots! What a great group of sweet girls to work with!
Having a little fun before the sun went down. I also got to take a few headshot for one of the lovely girls in our group, Kelly, from Kelly Hudgins Photography. I love her.. she is So sweet! I also loved hearing the story behind her tattoo, Paz, which means Peace. Heather and Virginia didn’t want to be behind the camera. 😉 I had so much fun with you all, hope to do it again soon!

So sad I missed it. Lovely shots!
