Headshot photography is an essential aspect of professional photography, specifically used for portraits that capture a person’s face and personality. A well-executed headshot can be the difference between getting a job or being ignored, making it an important investment for actors, models, corporate professionals, and anyone who wants to present themselves in the best light possible.

6 TIPS TO HELP YOU GET THE BEST HEADSHOTS:

1. Choose the right photographer: Look for a professional headshot photographer with experience, a good portfolio, and positive reviews. A good photographer can help you achieve the right look and feel that you want to convey.
2. Prepare your hair and makeup: It’s essential to look your best for a headshot. Do your hair, makeup, and grooming as you would for an important meeting or job interview.
3. Dress appropriately: Choose clothing that complements your skin tone, body type, and personality. Solid colors, minimal patterns, and tailored clothing tend to work best for headshots.
4. Express your personality: A headshot should reflect your personality, so be yourself and relax in front of the camera. Let the photographer guide you in poses and expressions that best capture your essence.
5. Use proper lighting: Good lighting is crucial to a great headshot. The right amount of light and shadow can enhance features and create a natural look.
6. Review the results: After the shoot, take the time to review the images with your photographer and select the best ones. Choose images that accurately reflect your personality and brand.

Headshot photography is an investment in your personal and professional brand! By following these tips, you can ensure that your headshot accurately represents you and sets you apart from the competition.

This has definitely been a really tough time for everyone but one of the highlights for us during this pandemic has been capturing families together. We offered free Front Yard Photo Sessions in Johnson County during the month of April and got an overwhelmingly great response from people. We did 26 Front Yard Photo Sessions! These photo shoots allowed families to briefly escape from all the struggles that this coronavirus has brought them and have some fun outside with their loved ones while getting some beautiful photos together. We had some great laughs and everyone enjoyed being outside away from quarantine life. Truly a rewarding experience to bring something positive to families during this time. Here are some of our favorite Front Yard Photos. Be safe and love your family!

Kezi was my assistant on this shoot and she started teaching yoga to the family and they all followed along LOL!

We took some photos of Bell Masonery’s beautiful work that was featured in Kansas City Homes and Style Magazine.  They do such amazing work and we are always excited to capture their finished product. Their other work includes Wahlburgers in Olathe, Holy Trinity Church in Lenexa, Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Overland Park, and Jack Stack BBQ in Lee’s Summit.  See more beautiful architecture photos and amazing masonry work at www.bellmasonry.com

Are you having trouble trying to find that perfect gift for the guys in your wedding?  Something cool yet personal so they’ll always remember it was from you.  I recently received this personalized wallet from Groovy Guy Gifts and I have to say this is such an amazing gift!  It is made of real genuine leather and has lots of space and slots without being too big or bulky.  It came with a cool personalized wooden box that I can later use as a change box or some other handy storage device.  The wallet itself is personalized too if you’d like.  I chose to have my initials put on the wallet but you can have a full name or nothing at all.  I am using this wallet now and threw out my old leather Nike wallet once I received it.  It is that good!  This wallet is just one of the many great gifts you can purchase for your groomsmen at Groovy Guy Gifts.  They have several high quality guy gifts that any groomsmen or best man would love to have (and actually use) including shot glasses, knives, cufflinks, flasks and more!  With wedding planning comes a budget and the other great thing about the Groovy Guy Gifts is that they won’t break your bank with most of their gifts ranging from $20-$60.  Check out the full selection of Groovy Guy Gifts HERE.  You won’t be disappointed!
