💖 And just that fast she’s off again . We bak 💖
And just that fast she’s off again
.
We baked, colored hair, shot videos in the snow, took photos in the snow, shopped & stayed in our pajamas more days than I should admit🤷🏻‍♀️
.
I’m excited for her to start her next semester but I’ll miss having my photo model, movie pal + Bundt cake maker around the house with me💖
.
Looking at the shiny side...Emma will be excited not having me around adding salad to her plate + while she’s gone I won’t be stressing about all the veggies she isn’t eating😁
.
It’s all good! @iheartbooks_emma
Neither of us could feel our fingers by this point. But worth it {to me anyway}
.
Would you brave the cold🥶 to get snow photos?
🎓⁠⠀ Have you heard the phrase, ⁠⠀ "Find 🎓⁠⠀
Have you heard the phrase, ⁠⠀
"Find the fun in the moment!"⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
High schoolers have a lot going on, but there should ALWAYS be moments of FUN added into the schedule!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
In your senior pictures FUN is always at the top of my list. You deserve a day to relax, have fun, and forget about the college visits, applications, essays, + all the, "what's next" things.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
I'm giving you a hall pass to chill🤗⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Set a date to forget about 'all the stuff' and let's go make some photo memories {+ Mom will love it too}⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Until that date, I've collected some of my FUN REELS to play around with until we thaw. Click on over to have a peek @shiningmomentsphotography or tap the #reel button to see them right here💖⁠⠀
iPhone tricks, posing tips, quirky fun...⁠⠀

The ONLY WAY to shoot a headshot...⁠
.⁠
There isn't one!⁠
.⁠
Do we need a good classic headshot - yes⁠
But there are so many other ways to convey YOU in your headshot. And it matters who you're trying to reach.⁠
.⁠
Did you see my post on Monday? ⁠
{it's the one with me + all the hats I wear in my biz}⁠
.⁠
That post has some new ways to think about your headshot + my blog post yesterday has 4 No-No's when it comes to headshots {there's always gotta be a few no-no's}😉⁠
.⁠
If you can't afford a professional photographer right now, then absolutely - POSITIVELY have a gander at the SMP blog. Click the link in @shiningmomentsphotography⁠
.⁠
And when you're ready to up-level your headshots or brand, I'd love to plan those images with you! 💖⁠

📸⁠ It's headshot week & I'm going to show you 📸⁠
It's headshot week & I'm going to show you ALL THE WAYS⁠
your headshot can be done + how to have FUN with them - yes, they can be fun⁠
.⁠
First, not all headshots are shot the same⁠
.⁠
𝔸 𝔹𝕀𝔾 ℙ𝕀𝔼ℂ𝔼 that's missed is considering YOUR PROFESSION. I hung up my business suits long ago, like a really long time ago - so I no longer need {or want} the classic gray backdrop with me in my navy + white business suit. It doesn't fit my brand.⁠
.⁠
When I was teaching/coaching...that was another kind of headshot⁠
.⁠
As a small business + photographer...I want a different vibe for my brand {I wear a lot of different hats with a staff of ONE}. Being a senior + headshot photographer I want to tell a story, I want my sessions to be FUN + relaxed, and yes⁠
.⁠
I give professional AND fun in my business. That's what I want to say in my brand images. And I know when each is necessary. When I'm shooting headshots for a college president we are shooting classic + professional images in a shirt + blazer.⁠
.⁠
In a more creative business {cake baker, fashion boutique, coffee shop, me...} we look at your brand + creative shots that SHOW YOUR STORY...your personality...what you want people to FEEL about your business💖⁠
.⁠
This week is stocked full of help to you + your brand on track! 𝙏𝙖𝙜 𝙖 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙 who needs or wants new tips to liven up their brand.⁠
💖Cheers & Sparkles to your week Friends!

Headshots outside takes a hot-blooded person right now...⁠
And Emma + I aren't it😄⁠
.⁠
We made it about 7-minutes out there & ran back in for hot chocolate⁠
.⁠
We were out filming some reel pieces + getting a few new headshots of Emma in her new favorite hair color {+ against that white snow...🔥}⁠
.⁠
On the blog today I'm showing off my new website + have a fantastic website builder for you. My Beautiful friend @suzannekrullphotography made all the magic happen for my new site @shiningmomentsphotography⁠

So click on over in my bio & you'll be magically swished over to click on the SMP BLOG⁠
