Susan

March 14, 2022 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I did a photo shoot of my friend, Susan. She came with all kinds of different props such as a flowered wreath for her hair. I supplied the large hat. It was a fun day. I had some beautiful chrysanthemums that added some beauty to the shoot. She also brought her camera which I photographed in low key. All other pictures were shot against a white backdrop and I added textures in Photoshop post processing.

Beth

I did a photo shoot of Beth on a stormy Sunday afternoon in January 2022 upstairs in my little studio. She came prepared with several different outfits and I researched several poses for her. The result was a number of lovely photos of her ranging from demure to sexy.

Gavin and Emily

December 31, 2020 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

My friend asked that I do a photo shoot of her boyfriend’s children, Gavin and Emily. Gavin is 16 and Emily is 13. We went out to Brick Pond Park, a lovely place in N. Augusta, S.C. It is really only about 20 minutes away. They were shy at first so we started out slowly. But as I continued taking their pictures, and talking to them, they really blossomed and became comfortable. This enabled me to get some great shots. These were Christmas presents to their family and they loved them. The kids were a real delight and it was a good experience.

Photo Shoot at Phinizy Swamp

November 20, 2019 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment










I did a photo shoot at Phinizy Swamp on November 2nd with four lovely ladies. We started the shoot at about 4;30, and since it was Eastern Standard Time, it started to get dark about 5pm. By that time the sun cast that lovely golden color that create that sought after glow that photographers love. They were great subjects and we had a great time. I used my strobe light, which was carried around wherever we went.

Family Photo Shoot

November 12, 2019 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

I went to Brick Pond Park, in North Augusta, to do a photo shoot of a lovely family. I used my AD200 strobe and Flashpoint R2 Transmitter. This family consisted of 4 children, ages 14, 7, 4, and under one year. It was a bit challenging due to the sun still being high in the sky and bright, even at 4 pm. This was still daylight savings time. Luckily, the baby was good most of the time and that helped. We stopped at about 5:30 because the children were tired, had to use the bathroom, and were pretty much done. But I got many great shots along the way. It was a good experience.

Heather and John

June 26, 2019 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment











I went out to Evans to do a photo shoot. It was originally going to be an outdoor shoot, but it had been stormy all that week and that Saturday was equally bad weather. We decided to do the shoot inside their home. It was a very enjoyable experience and we went all over the house to get lots of different locations. They were very cooperative and seemed to be having a good time.

Flappers – Roaring Twenties

May 8, 2019 by Marilyn Botta Leave a Comment

The Chicks that Click held a Roaring Twenties themed photo shoot using two twin models dressed as flappers. We also had a vintage car for them to pose with. The flappers were very photogenic and cooperative.
