Sarasota Fashion Photographer’s fave Style covers!

Sarasota fashion photographer, Barbara Banks, was asked to identify some of the memorable Style magazine shoots. The Sarasota fashion photographer named several location and Sarasota studio shoots that brought back fun, edgy, interesting, compelling, touching, pretty… good photo session memories! The Style Magazine covers here are several fashion shoots in Sarasota that struck the Sarasota fashion photographer, team AND READERS as stand-outs. From children’s play/creativity at Sarasota Art Center and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, to studio shoots of party fashions, mothers/daughters and jewelry, to beautiful locations including The Ringling, Sarasota Opera House, Circus Sarasota, and Center for Architecture Sarasota… “Sarasota is a mecca for wonderful architecture and beautiful outdoor settings – for Sarasota fashion photographers, portrait photography, commercial shoots, editorial imagery. Our community supports wonderful publications and as Sarasota fashion photographer we’re so honored to be asked to join these teams for a variety of photography assignments – in Sarasota and locales around the region. Our monthly Style Magazine photo assignments are indeed a collaboration with many members of the Sarasota community. It’s always a pleasure meeting a team member, community leader, and others – with goal of making an interesting and unique photo feature.”
What to Wear for a Photo Session

Most clients who schedule a portrait session, whether a business or casual family portrait, want to know… What do we wear to optimize our look?? It’s really quite simple, according to television news anchor and medical journalist, Heidi Godman:

“I’ve had to pose for publicity photos for the last 25 years. I generally
choose something that’s dark and authoritative with a pop of color, and I
always make sure that I like the outfit and feel comfortable and confident
in it, because it definitely helps your personality shine through.”

For women, the pop can come from a scarf, jewelry, blouse, jacket or other accessory. The clothing doesn’t have to be dark – just as long as you feel your best in your wardrobe selection! For men, the shirt or tie combined with a great jacket/suit. Groups: complementary colors are a draw.

A recent business shoot went perfectly, after the female client took Heidi’s advice!! She arrived with three great outfits, accessories. The hour-long shoot resulted in well over 100 wonderful images and a happy client!

“We are daughters, sisters, mothers and wives; entrepreneurs, employees and retirees; friends – young and old. And we are even more exceptional when we work together and help each other. We know what needs to be done and how to make it happen – at home, at work or in the organizations we support with our time and our talents. The Women’s Resource Center of Sarasota County is here to support you on your journey – whether your are adjusting to a career change, concerned about financial security, coping with difficult family relationships or seeking opportunities for personal growth and self-sufficiency. We invite you to take your next steps with the help of the Women’s Resource Center. Our caring team will provide you the resources, guidance and support you need to create your own solutions. And, we will be here to celebrate your accomplishments.” Women’s Resource Center website: www.thewomensresourcecenter.org

The plunge into widowhood at 85 posed many new roadblocks for Barbara (above). She didn’t know how to write a check or pay bills. Self-esteem lagging, a WRCSC Peer Resource Advisor referred her to Challenge, which recharged and empowered her with new hope and a fresh attitude. Barbara is grateful to have had so many amazing women help her move forward and away from people who are not willing to make changes as they age. Our time together, one of nine portrait sessions for the Women’s Resource Center annual celebration – Redefining Balance/Renaissance 2013, was one of laughter, hope, joy, sharing, optimism. Our session gave this photographer glimpse into the joyful new life of a women with hope and happiness as an octogenarian and beyond!! Thank you, Barbara and WRCSC!
