When Bella Rustica requested some head shots of me, I knew I was in trouble. I had been mucking about with iPhone and iMac shots and knew I had to get serious. So I called upon Zoe Brown Photography.
Zoe is my nieces’ daughter. She’s only 15 and already knows where she’s taking her life. She’s going full board into photography so it was a total given to get her involved.
She also asked me if I desired her special edits with textures and such. She knew I needed them somewhat conservative so here are a few of them catching me in my normal casual state…
Zoe lets you do the posing. She just wants you to go about your business and she takes care of the rest. My cat walked up to me and an impromptu cat session began. I’m so glad! I love my kitten.
Ohhh Zoe, thank-you for making me look younger and prettier! 😀
You can see more of my shots on her blog HERE.
Zoe loves doing themed shots as well as heavier edits. In fact, she’s famous for them.
She’s good at edgy too.
15 years old. This girl has one amazing future, wouldn’t you agree?
If you live in the lower mainland in BC Canada, she’s up for grabs!
Portraits, family shoots, weddings, kids, grad. You name it! You can see more of her work on her:
Thank-you so much Zoe!
Looking beautiful as always! Good luck to Zoe for her career, she’s very talented!
Wow, those are some great pictures! She is really talented!

Zoe is so talented! Wishing her the best. You look beautiful in each of your shots, Donna. Thanks for sharing your session.
She definitely has a bright future ahead of her in photography – how wonderful to know at such a young age, not only what you want to do, but are already fabulous at it! Not that you are asking for opinions, but my favorite shots of you are the one with your cat where her face is looking outwards and the one on your bed with your computer – great shots!

Beautiful photos of you. Off to check out Zoe’s blog…. what a great photographer… and only 15!! WOW!!
Wow.
Well, you can’t give the camera and the photographer all of the credit when she had an incredibly beautiful subject to work with. You are just one of those naturally pretty women and I love that about you. Your niece is amazing! How awesome to be so talented and gifted at such a young age and know where you are going. I am almost 50 and still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. *winks TFS
Donna, you look absolutely gorgeous! If your niece ever comes to visit Mickey Mouse in Orlando, I want to know about it! Awesome skills for a 15 year old. Lyndaoflakeland.blogspot.com
You’re stunning! And she’s quite a talented photographer, what a gift!
You have the best hair!:) Love your photos! They turned out great!
That’s terrific donna! Love your poses w/everyday items, cell phone, laptop, your hair looks great & love the ones with your kitty. Nice job Zoe – youve got a great eye!
Wow! Your pictures turned out beautifully(of course you make a great subject). Your niece is very talented-she definitely has a calling to photography. wow wow wow
You look fabulous always, but she is definitely gifted. Anyone can take a picture, very few can capture an image that captivates and draws you in. She does just that.
Wow, such beautiful photos!
Oh my word! She has a true artistic eye, but I know that runs in the family ;-). Great photos Donna and it truly captures your beauty.
Wow, what a talented girl! Oh, you look good, too!
Gorgeous pics! Incredible that Zoe is 15! She will go far.
Oh my gosh, that’s awesome! You look very pretty and those other shots are just as awesome as well!!
Well, I have to agree with Angie @Knick of Time, my favorite photo is the one where you are holding your kitty, and we can see kitty’s profile and eyes. My next fav is also the one with your laptop. What’s that ??? You didn’t ask for our opinions???, Oh, Well, Never Mind!! I can’t wait to see how life opens up for your nieces daughter…such talent…and such a beautiful lady to work with!! Linda S. in NE
You are a knockout! I like the picture with you at the computer the best, then the cat pictures. You look Mahvalous! (Fernando)
I love the shots of you with your Kitty and the one at the computer. Where you feel most comfortable, I’m sure. You’re a beautiful lady and your niece is an excellent photographer.
She’s a very talented photographer and the model (you) ain’t too shabby!! Gorgeous photos of you and the others featured!
wow, your great niece is very talented! Especially at 15 years old. Love your pictures, Donna! Love that you are in natural poses and with things that relate to yout blog/business – computer/junk, etc.
Look out world…..here come Zoe!
Incredible!
Her subject ain’t too bad either! You look amazing!
hugs
How wonderful to be following her passion already. She’s obviously hugely talented. Sweet shots with your kit 😉 Love the one of you and your laptop. Looks very natural.
She is very very good & you are a very beautiful lady Donna ! Loved the pics !
I can’t believe she is only 15! These are beautiful, natural and she has really captured your essence!
These photos are unbelievably not the norm… and for a 15 year old… fabulous… of course, she also had a fabulous subject…I am so bummed I won’t be able to make it to Nashville to meet you. My friend Dianne will be there though to send my greetings!
You are a true master of the quill! This reading was the so absorbing!Write more and thank you!
Very nice! She has a good eye for detail and color. Your pictures are beautiful.
Chitty chitty bang bang you look awesome Donna!~ All the photos are fantastic. Zoe is truly gifted.
Wow, what a talented photographer Zoe is at such a young age. Wonderful pictures!!
Isnt it great to know your passion at a young age? How lucky! Lucky to have such a beautiful model to work with too!
An amazing 15 year old inspiration!
my fave of you is your laptop one! perfecto.
and i adore that last one of zoe’s with the silhouetted profile. ::swoon::
What terrific photos of you – very natural, you must be really happy with them, and how meaningful to have one of your younger family members be able to do it as well – fantastic!
I’m from the Fraser Valley too, and my daughter began her photography at the same age as Zoe – she’d been working with Photoshop for several years prior to that, which had her graphics teachers at school lovin’ her contributions to yearbook. She began doing more ‘serious’ photography with family members, and with doing individual/group grad photo sessions – a bit hit! She’s done weddings, maternity, newborn, tons of group family shots, and loves being creative – much like your Zoe! Being that they’re both from the same area, they might want to link up and share tips etc – you can find Elisabeth on FB (https://www.facebook.com/PhotographYourMoment) if ya like. Thanks so much for sharing – I’ve been following your blog for quite a while, and really enjoyed your journey ‘down south’ (I now live in Houston, TX) as well as the tons of creative ideas you post!
love the pics,always have thought you had your own unique and gorgemegus look. Great pics and a very talented lady very talented….
Fantastic photos!!! And you look awesome, so beautiful!
Besos and good luck! Silvina
WOW….what is more beautiful you or the shots she took? Or the baby with the big blue eyes 🙂 She has so much talent and I hope you know how gorgeous you are.
