Now thats STYLE!!!!!

I shoot a lot of weddings and it is always so refreshing and fun to shoot a wedding like this one where the couple is fearless and isn't afraid to think outside of the box! So much style and uniqueness! Every aspect of this wedding was a delightful surprise! I was truly honored to be a part of their special day! Thank you Karyn & Kyle for such a fun day!!!!!

Innovation and Hands- On Fun! So much interactive play under one roof and it is beautiful as well! Bring your family and friends and check it out and support this gorgeous museum!

Tips for the Most Successful Head Shot!

So you need a new head shot and you have been putting it off! I have the perfect solution for you! I do Head Shot Parties! I come to you and can photograph not only you but your team members  and employees. We can set up a small studio or use a location or even highlight your business as the background. I also schedule Head Shot Parties that are open to the public and you can come to me! Follow me on Facebook to find out times and locations!

Here are some of my favorite Head Shots! 

Tips To Remember!

1. Simple, fresh makeup! Wear a bit more then usual but keep it simple and don't over do!

2. Wear your hair the way you normally wear it. You want your headshot to look like your best you!

3. Wear solid color clothing! Colors that compliment your skin tones, hair and eyes. This is not the time for trendy clothing or clothing with designs and patterns.

4. Keep the jewelry simple and subtle, same with the ties.

5. Highlighting your business in the shot is a great idea! If you are going to use clothing with logos, make sure they are crisp, clean and new if possible. Choosing a unique location at your business for the background of your headshot is a great promotional tool.
