Mini sessions; what you talkin’ bout, Willis?

The Know, Like, Trust Factor: Business Headshots
“You never get a second chance to make a first impression,” as the saying goes, and so it is.

Natural outdoor business headshots
Business headshots are so little about perfection, and so much about capturing someone in their natural beauty. A huge part of putting them at ease in front of the camera is to have them in a place they’re comfortable. Terza and I (www.theterzafactor.com) thought we were going to have to reschedule due to beautiful […]

I love fashioning senior portraits around the graduate’s interests. KC had just gotten his pilot’s license the morning before his senior portrait session. Absolutely had to show that off!
Portrait tip #2: No Matchy-Matchy!
Coordinate wardrobe without being matchy-matchy Khakis and polos, right? Everyone in jeans and a white shirt? (Oh, I’m so holding back on the “The 90’s called and they want their clothes back” jokes.) (okay, maybe not holding back that much.) The fastest way to timeless photos that won’t go viral for “family photos gone […]
Portrait tip #3: Keep Calm and Feed On
Keep calm and feed on. Keep calm and feed on. Good rule of thumb for everyone in the portrait, whether child, teen or adult. Everyone gets cranky when their blood sugar gets low. Coupled with the stress of getting a family dressed, out the door and to the place on time, who wouldn’t feel a […]

Little Mr. Emmett
Little Mr. Emmett. Oh, my, my, oh my. My first look at Emmett was straight from a bath and all his baby fine red hair was sticking out in all it’s Einsteinesque glory! Mama tamed it before we started on portraits though. Such a wonderful session with the little man. Mom and Grandma were […]

Baby Weston
Oh, those little finger and toes! The little lips, little yawns; all so very precious. This is one of my opportunities to snuggle up with a baby (that’s not furry and not my Dora) and photograph those little adorablenesses. Enjoy!
