Bringing out the Best in BS&W McLane Children’s Health

- Photoshoot logistics
My organizational skills shine when I coordinate photo shoots, but never more than for Baylor Scott & White McLane Children’s Health magazine. From scouting locations and scheduling photographers to purchasing and transporting a lot of wardrobe (five outfits for each subject, which included the patient plus their family), I did it all. Still, this account was an absolute joy to work on.
It’s hard to pick out my favorite BS&W McLane Children’s Health cover story, but Maxey’s shoot was one of the most memorable. After days of searching for a lap pool where we could hold the shoot, I got to talking to the director at a YMCA in Austin about Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which is another passion of mine. By the end of the conversation, we had full access to a pool with lane markers and privacy. The shoot went incredibly well, and the cover proves it!
I also was privileged to tell Logan’s story in photos. Born with a rare disorder that affects his speech and mobility, Logan was only able to sit up for 20 seconds at a time during the shoot. Including his sister, Taylor, in the photos helped minimize fatigue while also illustrating how closely her everyday life is linked to his.
