Bands include the Sons of Liberty, the Crooked Road Ramblers, The Wildmans, and Morgan Wade & The Stepbrothers. Tickets for the Poplar Forest Folk Festival are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. All advanced ticket sales end at 5 p.m. Oct. 19th.

I'm so busy, I just haven't gotten around to doing it."
"I don't like how my hair looks, I need it cut."
"I'm scared how my images will look."

These are all concerns I've heard before having a headshot portrait session. It's a little nerve racking before the session because having your portrait taken professionally does require more thought about wardrobe, makeup and makeup than just a selfie or your old Christmas photo. It's a personal representation of YOU and wanting to look your best. 

This is why I help you through the whole process start to finish. I understand what is needed to go from "I need a headshot image" to "Wow, I love my photos! This was so much fun." 

A professional headshot speaks to your attention to detail, the demand for high quality and that you are willing to put your best foot forward in your area. 

Contact me today to setup your headshot portrait session.

In our very fast pace digital world, we often "meet" someone online before we ever extend our hand to say "Hello". We go to their Linkedin account to find out more about them or other social sites to help us understand more about them. 

The truth is, that is happening to you today as well. When your profile picture is pulled up, what are others thinking about you? Do you have a professional portrait that displays your friendliness, confidence or does it scream, I-grabbed-a-Christmas-photo-and-cropped-it-to-fit?

Don't let a 30 minute headshot session stand between you and meeting a great client! 

Victoria realized this fact and we were able to capture some beautiful portraits of her for her business profile and business cards. 

If you run a business by yourself, such a real estate agent or blogger, your values, your passions and interests all come through the service that you sell or make for your clients.

Their is a segment of the population who may have similar experience to you and will connect with you around those interests. This builds a powerful trust factor with YOU.

Trust is the first step towards someone being willing to purchase from you and that is why your in business right? 

When you begin to step out from behind your keyboard and show your face to your audience, this is powerful. 

You know what I mean, that random picture you post of playing with the kids at the park gets TONS more interaction on Facebook than the beautiful flat lay picture that you spent 2 hours creating.

Personal Brand Photography is valuable for every business owner. These can include a nice headshot image to be used on your business cards, website and social media sites.

They can also go more indepth. 

When I plan a Personal Brand Photography session I find out what your business is about and what makes you unique so you can share this most effectively with your ideal clients!
