what do you get when you mix wine & photos? {headshot happy hour forest park, il}

“Wine can of their wits the wise beguile, Make the sage frolic, and the serious smile” 
― Homer

Last month, I partnered with Amy's Winehouse, in Forest Park, for a headshot happy hour event. It was such a fun event that I'm already scheming & planning to have another one! (Hint Hint, Amy...).

Amy was such an amazing hostess, the wine and food was delicious, and all the clients who joined us were lovely. I hope we can do another one soon!

getting to know you... {oak park headshot event}

“It is more important to click with people than to click the shutter.”
-Alfred Eisenstaedt

One of the things I love most about my job is that I meet so many people. When I'm photographing families, If I'm doing a good job, I get to see many of them on a (fairly) regular basis. The better I know my clients, the easier my job becomes. 

For headshot clients, I may not see them as often. But, if I'm doing a good job, I get a LOT of referrals. A LOT. My headshot clients are quickly gaining on my family clients!

(this is me, doing a happy dance!)

I think it is important to be tuned into what my client wants & needs from me, especially regarding headshots. It's not enough to sit them in front of my lens & release the shutter a few times, I want to know how they see themselves and get a feel for their comfort level. These photographs will represent them to potential employers, clients, etc and it's important that people feel good about how their headshot looks. It's crucial that they be comfortable. 

Many times, I hear "You're the professional. You tell me what to do." While this is fair to say & I do plenty of guiding, I often don't REALLY know your quirks. So many people have a "good" side...did you know that? Do you have one? Take a quick scan of your photos (selfies count) & see if there is a pattern. If so, then you fall into the "good" side group.

This isn't a bad thing. In fact, this is great info to share with your photographer! This is information I can use! 

I hope that my most recent headshot clients LOVE their portraits. I am always so thankful to be trusted with such an important & intimate job.

rainy day head shot session

Today was a cold, wet, & kind of dreary day. Luckily, the photo session I had scheduled was indoors and I was able to utilize one of my favorite light sources: natural, window light. So simple & so beautiful...I am quite happy with the results & I hope that my client is too!

I had the pleasure of photographing Jung and her lovely family this past spring, so I was happy to have the opportunity to reconnect with her. 

morning head shot session & a change of plans

Did you know that little bitty productions shoots head shots? It's true...corporate, casual, actors...you name it! Let us know what your particular needs are and we'll do our best to make it happen!

Head shots don't have to be boring. In fact, they can be a lot of fun. I had plans for an outdoor, location shoot this morning, but the weather had other ideas. Instead, we found a lovely indoor space & I got to spend the morning with Maeve, creating some head shots that I hope she will love. She has been involved in theatre from a young age, so it makes sense that she is a natural in front of the camera.
