Hollis Elisabeth Roberts found me over the internet. She's a local violinist, graduated from Peabody, and was looking to update her website a bit as she breaks out into the world.

For our session, we chose the absolutely amazing Cloisters off of Falls Road. It's a gorgeous, four story historic mansion with amazing vistas and photographic opportunities.

The drama of the spiral staircase was, of course, a highlight.

Hollis' green velvet jacket coincidentally matched a beautifully painted wall.

The courtyard provided all kinds of interesting lighting opportunities.

Hollis was completely at ease with the camera, open to suggestions, and even suggested some fun things herself. She was a fantastic subject.

Oh, I neglected to mention that she can also be a goof.

You can hear some of her work on YouTube if you like, and see the full photo shoot as well.
