Business Portraits/Wareham Photographer

Well, it was a long time coming! My hair stylist extraordinaire and salon owner Linda, & I have been talking for almost 2 years about her coming to the photography studio to have some new, fresh, hip, current business portraits done. The stars aligned and we were thrilled one recent Friday morning to enjoy each other's company in the studio.
Linda arrived a bit frazzled with clothes in hand for the session. She mentioned how she went to the salon first to do her hair and makeup, hurried to the studio and had alot on her mind; Running your own business can be all consuming! So, I took the clothes from her, got her something to drink and proceeded downstairs to the studio. Linda changed, we cranked the dance music and had so much fun! As you can see a girl has to check out her looks and primp her hair before the portraits are taken - well I loved what she was doing with her hair trying to get it into a "diamond shape" (that's hair speak of which i didn't understand!) so while she was looking in the mirror I snapped a few images - I love the one eye showing and how the blue mirror coordinates with her signature blue ring! (coincidence as the mirror was mine)

Linda's initial inspiration was a photo of Adele where she was sitting on a low stool so we incorporated that feel into the session. Not a direct copy because we needed to make it our own. Linda has a love for shoes, really cool, high heeled shoes and we needed to make sure they were captured as well. (i tried on those killer shoes and they made me feel so tall - couldn't walk in them but boy did i feel tall!)

Linda brought two different jackets - one funky leather jacket and the other a bit more reserved black blazer - both portraying a different feel to make each portrait unique.

There's so much about this session that I loved but especially these last two. The second to last is another Adele inspiration, close up with focus of the portrait on her beautiful face. And every stylist needs a great pair of scissors so Linda brought hers along to be photographed too in her very cool leather jacket! By the end of the photo session, Linda was relaxed, happy to have finally updated her business portraits for her website, facebook and whatever else she needed photos for at the salon.

Linda, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule and giving me the opportunity to update your business portraits. You were amazing!

Meet Andy

...your friendly neighborhood Mutual of Omaha insurance representative!

Recently Andy came to update his business portrait. He needed this not only for his business cards and web profile, but for an image for a chapter in a book he is writing for Mutual of Omaha. He was such a pleasure to work with, friendly, personable and very approachable. If you're in need of insurance, be sure and give Andy a call in his local Mutual of Omaha Wareham office.

A New Business

After working for many years as an architect for other companies, Anthi decided it was time to venture out on her own and start her own company. It's challenging to start your own business and there are so many things to take care. First things first, along with building her new website she needed a new business portrait. So, she came to the studio the other day. While getting to know her a bit more, I asked her how she wanted to be portrayed - she said, approachable and friendly, casual but not too casual. I suggested she bring several shirts and I had several backgrounds that I thought looked best with her outfits. We spent about half an hour photographing and these are a few of the ones she chose. (She ended up with 5 different images, to be used for different media purposes.) This black and white image is great for a newspaper or trade magazine press release.

Anthi mentioned that she listens alot to her clients but will also need to talk alot discussing ideas. As she's talking she ends up using her hands so much and we thought it would be great to photograph her that way. Natural, relaxed, friendly - She loved it! We also loved the orange shirt with the blue background since it will coordinate with the colors on her website. She really looked lovely in that orange shirt - I think it's her new color!

Finally, tools of the trade - her scale. We also had her tracing paper and blackberry but the simplicity of her scale just worked best. If you're looking for an architect be sure and give Anthi a call.

How do you want to be portrayed? What's your business portrait look like? Need a new one, give me a call and let's chat.

Thanks, Anthi! Best of luck to you with your new venture.
