Michaelanne Dehner does it all: she rides show horses, she runs marathons, she climbs mountains, she acts and she can sing. And I don’t mean that she can harmonize with a song on the radio — she can sing. She can wail. She can sing in front of 50,000 baseball fans. Here’s a video of her performing the national anthem before a Colorado Rockies game at Coors Field. I was there, and it was the most rousing rendition of it I’ve ever heard.
This summer she’ll be singing the national anthem at Invesco Field at Mile High before a Denver Outlaws game. So, a few weeks ago, we met to shoot a series of headshots so she can land more of these types of singing gigs.
Our location was at the Eliot Street Collective in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver. It’s a cool little mixed-use space with exposed brick, gorgeous hardwood floors, bright colors and lots of natural light.
We did three shoots, with three different wardrobes, each striving for a different mood. Shoot #1 was going for simple, delicate, approachable, natural and mellow.
I’ll be posting Shoots #2 and #3 later in the week.
Nicely done, especially the last image on the post. For some reason, the wall and the chair go well with her personality and the look of the shot.
Thanks Lynsey! Appreciate the feedback.
