Tell me what you LOVE about your last headshot... how about what you hate?
These are just a few of the things you may hear me ask you when you walk in for your next executive portrait (or headshot) session. Why? Because I can tell a LOT of different stories about you in one single image and it's important we tell your potential clients your story clearly.
Is it most important to you to look approachable and friendly (councilor, therapist, ministry) or professional, responsible and intelligent (financial advisor, accountant, banker) or all these things (tutor, speaker, politician). You do NOT have to know the best backdrop color to tell your story best or the pose, expression and lighting that will create this narrative - that's MY job. But the best prep you can do before your session is to think about your story, your brand and your goals for the images. Then, simply tell me that and sit back and relax and I'll do the rest.
Today, I get to share a variety of images I've created over the last few months for professionals in a variety of careers... financial advisor, IT tech, loan officers, business owners, speaker, graphic designer, engineer, surgeon, lawyer, jewelry artist, pageant queen, therapist... can guess see who's who? A few other fun things to know about these fun folks...
- at least two hold US patents
- one I went to elementary school with
- one I went to college with (and photographed her wedding)
- one I married
- one is a Queen! (pageant that is)
