Layne Fargo | Author Headshots + Branding Photography

~It’s Layne’s world, we’re just living in it.~

Layne Fargo is literally the coolest chick, I don’t know how else to describe her. She’s hilarious, poignant, kind and thoughtful. She’s absolutely dedicated to her craft and she’s really honed in on her signature dark and moody style. We worked together a few years ago to do her author headshot and it was such a lovely experience - I was SO excited to get to work with her again for an updated author headshot and more branding photography and she heads towards her newest book launch that I personally cannot wait to get ahold of.

Layne’s an absolute joy to work with and spending this day photographing her new author headshots, going on a walk with her dog for a pup cup, and chatting about the writer community in Chicago was absolutely amazing. There’s nothing more inspiring to me than cool women pursuing their passions and creating art to share with others, and I’m so excited to see what Layne does next!

Thank you miss Layne! I will come over anytime that Tallie and Finn want more cuddles. :)
