So what is the difference between a headshot session and a branding session, and which one do I need? A headshot session results in is a single image that represents the best you. Almost everyone needs, or could use a headshot. It’s a digital world out there and a professional headshot from someone who knows how to get your best expressions and use lighting to flatter you and, is a good investment. As humans, we connect more with a human face than a written name. Your headshot puts a face to your business, job, organization, acting audition, social media profile and many more applications. People can connect with you before they meet you. It shows a level of professionalism, you care to look your best. If you have a small businesses or are an entrepreneur, and you want to elevate and grow your online presence, a branding session is for you. Branding images show more than just your face. They are designed to reflect more about your personality and give more information about you. People want to know a bit more about who they might be working with. They might feel a connection with you before they even look into your services or business. They can visualize what it might be like to work with you. A branding photo session almost always includes a headshot, but it is so much more. The images tell a story and give the viewer much more insight into who is behind the headshot. There is intent to gain customers or to sell something in branding images. Sure you can use your cell phone to take your images, but it will look like you did. Stock images don't reflect the real you and are also not a good choice. I would love to help you create a great impression for potential customers or clients with fresh images that show a your professional message. I love what I do and would love to work with you.

This past summer I had an idea to do a photo session centered around the color light blue. I am always planning photo shoots in my head and I am fortunate enough to have family members who are willing to participate in bringing the ideas to fruition. If you follow my photography at all, you have probably seen Sarah in a lot of my images. She is is my husband's cousin's daughter. She is beautiful and so easy to work with. She loves creative ventures. I knew she would be onboard for my light blue session. My original idea was centered around light blue on light blue. I asked Sarah if she had a light blue hoodie. She immediately borrowed one from a friend.The above image was kinda what I had in mind, until............ I received a text with this picture in it from my daughter, she knew I love old Ford pickups. My brain sprung into action. IT WAS LIGHT BLUE!!!! I asked her where she was and if the truck was still there. She was having dinner with her husband and his parents at the Town Spa in Stoughton, MA, the next town over. I called and told her, "Don't move, I'll be right there!" I jumped in the car and made my way there. I could visualize the truck in my "Light Blue" shoot. My heart was racing. When I arrived, the truck was still there. I found my daughter and son-in-law and family. They had already been looking around to see if they could guess who the owner might be.They suspected two guys at the bar. Talk about profiling. My daughter's mother-in-law, Mary Beth, was more than happy to help me out. She asked the bartender if he knew who owned the truck. He didn't, but he said he would be happy to ask the patrons at the bar. Without hesitation, in a very loud voice, he said,"Does anyone here own an old light blue Ford Pick up?" One of the two men they had picked, said, Yes I do. Did someone hit it? I quickly reassured him that the truck was fine. I introduced myself and asked him about his beautiful Ford. He had recently restored it and had just been at a car show in Taunton, MA with his buddy sitting next to him. I told him about my idea for a photoshoot, but incorporating his truck would bring it to a whole new level. We exchanged phone numbers to talk later. I was beyond excited. Charlie, the truck owner, could not have been nicer. He invited me to do photos at his house, which had a beautiful yard and the garage door was red, which matched the interior of the truck and Sarah's nails.He also drove to a sportsman's club to use a wider open area. He was amazing. Charlie is willing to let me use the truck again for photoshoots. I would love to do senior portraits or family sessions with the truck. If you are interested in having a "Little Blue Truck" themed shoot of any kind, Let me know, I would love to set something up for you. Below are some more images from our session. Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
