Robyn’s portrait session: extending the care giving attitude to yourself, too
After her session, Robyn said “I am really shy getting my photo taken. I prefer to be in the background, unnoticed and working away. [Then] I had this amazing, life changing photoshoot with my friend and work colleague Carmen who really found something in (me) ON CAMERA.” Robyn recognized that she’s gone through challenges recently, and credits her career with pushing her forward every day. When she did her own hair and makeup and had her own portrait experience, things really clicked for her. “This photographer captured my soul and she made me see beauty in myself. This was an incredible experience for my mind, body and soul.”
Alignment, self-care, self-expression, and recognition through photography
The best part about both of these days is the memories these girls created together, the fun they had, the smiles, the mishaps, the experience of being together in that moment in a way that allowed Nikki to tell her daughters “YOU are what is important to me” and in a way that allowed her to remember that she is important all on her own, too.
Professional photoshoots for men
Professional portraits aren’t generally associated with men, but consider all the reasons anyone would have occasion to participate in an experience like this … dating profiles; headshots for your business cards, socials, and websites; Christmas gifts for your adoring family; or simply for yourself, to remember what you’ll later refer to as your “glory days.”
Motherhood and sense of self - curating your photo shoot to reflect who you are and what matters most to you
In terms of a celebratory transformational portrait experience then, if motherhood is so deeply engrained in us and is THE thing that fills us with light and joy, does it make sense that we would include that as part of the whole thing? Well yes, yes it does.. if you want it to.
Achievement and the quest for improvement, in photography and life
Today I achieved Associate Accreditation status with The Portrait System - the education system that brought me from simply having a camera set to auto mode and taking fun snaps of my kid and vacations, to where I am today in full control on manual mode with studio strobe lights and directing people who are sitting in front of me as a professional photographer to have their portrait created. Life is wild.
You’re (not) so vain - print that photo!
In a digital world, we scroll past moments that deserve to be remembered. Printing your portraits transforms them into tangible reminders of who you are, and the people who love you. Here's why I believe your images deserve to exist in print.
Yeah, you need a professional headshot for that.
Bonnie’s true calling led her back to University, where her passions put her in positions that required a professional image to represent her online.
