5 Reasons to do a Glamour Shoot
“Glamour is not about age, shape, or size. You don’t have to be pretty to have it. Anyone can create it.” - Dita Von Tesse
Contemporary Glamour is like you being the celebrity for a day and having a magazine style of photoshoot. We allow multiple outfit changes and provide professional hair and makeup. My makeup artist stays on set to assist and change up your look, if you want. Maybe you want to add a bold lip for a different outfit or add a braid or updo or wave to your hair.
Product Spotlight - The Legacy Folio Box
The main product in my studio for the package options is the Legacy Folio Box. This folio box holds the Print Collection you purchase. I call it a legacy folio box because it holds the professional prints that are matted and ready for framing, and those prints become part of your legacy for the rest of time.
Why You Deserve more than a Selfie
Selfies. It’s so crazy to think that the term “selfie” has only been in use for about 10 years. Fast forward to 2019 and they’re everywhere! Social media, advertisements, wallpapers on our phones, computers, and tablets…you name it, selfies are there.
So, how can we make all the selfie more memorable and really show the real you? Here are just a few reasons you deserve more than a selfie.
11 Best Portrait Photographers in Nashville
I'm lucky #7 on the Peerspace's top 11 Portrait Photographers in Nashville. Woo hoo!! I was so grateful when I saw this list as there are some very talented photographers included and some with very different styles from me. Not all portraiture is the same. It can be a very diverse genre and it's cool to see all the visual creatives in town with different philosophies. Here's what they said about my work and brand:
What is Your Legacy?
Do you ever think about your legacy? Even if you don't have children or beyond your family, do you ever think about your own legacy? That thing that you leave behind or way of being that you pass down? Even the messages that you are constantly sending to people by your actions and words.
Without a Wardrobe Plan
What makes a photoshoot creative? When hair and makeup is the purpose of a creative shoot and wardrobe is not fully discussed, then you end up working with less, shall we say... It is kind of hysterical not to have discussed clothes because the wardrobe is the number 1 consideration, and the question I get asked the most, but fate would have it.
The Importance of Prints
Photography is evidence we exist in this world; yet, we have lost the importance and priority of printing and sometimes we avoid the camera altogether. I often ask people: when something happens to you do they think people are going to go through all your hard drives to find all your pictures and cherished moments? Typically the answer is No. Do you think they will cherish and keep a box of images of you that they find? Typically the answer is yes.
The Best Secret to Shooting Indoors
Please trust me on this. Sometimes, my girlfriends try and fight me on this but the fact of the matter is, you will like the image better if your face has evenly, diffused light on it rather than having a pretty restaurant scene in the background. So, what’s the best secret to having the best picture indoor? The best secret to shooting portraits indoors is…
All the Possibilities with Fiona
Did you know that you can combine all kinds of things in one session? I wanted to share Fiona's session with you not only because she is gorgeous but to show you in one session, you can update your headshot, celebrate and capture beautiful pictures of You and get family photos at the end. So it's all about the woman first. She gets pampered with hair and makeup; we photograph just her in a few different looks and then the kiddos can come in at the end to get family pictures.
Is Your Headshot Costing You Business?
First impressions matter. These days, your first impression is often on the web. When a potential client, employer, vendor, or referral source looks at your website, your LinkedIn profile, your Facebook page, or a printed marketing piece with your headshot on it, that person will immediately make a judgment about you and your business. This judgment will affect your bottom line. I’ve had clients say that updating headshots has helped get new business, and when headshots are done for the whole company, it also boosts morale.
