Sorority Rush – The Woodlands Portrait Photographer

Are you a graduating senior, considering rushing at a sorority when you enter college or university in the fall? Now is the time to think about getting those sorority recruitment portraits!  You’ll be sending out those packages before you know it, and it’s only going to get busier with prom and grad coming up so soon!

Sorority rush portraits are fun and simple to shoot! They just want to see what you look like, so they recognize you when you show up for events and interviews. So for your portraits, just wear something simple and chic, like you’re attending a garden party or family event. You’ll want to look trendy and classic at the same time, and show your signature style. So what type of portraits are they looking for?

BASIC HEADSHOT
The winning classic is a close up shot of you, professionally taken, that shows you as you are with your beautiful natural smile as you look into the camera. This says so much about you, and who you are, without artifice. You’ll win them over with your genuine smile and lack of pretense.

THREE QUARTER AND FULL BODY
Show off your personal style with a three quarter and full body shot. It’s best to wear something like you’d wear to recruitment events, rather than an outfit that will seem to clash with who they’re meeting in person. Consistency will help you stand out, as you curate your own personal style recognized by others.

If you have your recruitment portraits in mind when we’re shooting your senior portrait session, we can be sure to get a great set that all coordinates together to include in your recruitment package. And, you’ll be perfectly styled since your hair and make up will already be styled by my preferred make up artist so you’ll be hitting two birds with that perfectly polished stone!

If you choose, you can arrange a special shoot just for your senior rush pictures. These SORORITY RUSH PORTRAIT PACKAGES are short and sweet, and we’ll carefully curate a series of portraits tailored to the sorority you want to rush. With the right planning, sorority rush will be way less stressful since you’ll be confidant and prepared for when you start the process. Let’s take that first step, with your beautiful portraits.

Rebrand Yourself – The Woodlands Headshot Photographer

Getting a new headshot taken is the perfect time to evaluate your personal brand and reconsider how you present yourself to potential clients and business partners. It might also be time to think about rebranding yourself, if you are considering making changes in your career. Is it time for you to rebrand? How do you know when it’s time?

YOU ARE MOVING INTO ANOTHER INDUSTRY
If you are thinking about a complete career change, have a new headshot taken that reflects the line of work into which you are moving. It might be that your previous job required a more or less formal look and tone.

YOU ARE RETURNING TO THE WORKFORCE
If you have been out of the workforce for a while, you’ll need a new headshot to replace the outdated one probably still lurking somewhere in your online profile.

YOU’RE ASPIRING TO HIGHER THINGS
The old adage tells  you to dress for the job you want. The same could be said for your online presence. Cultivate a high end, professional image and it won’t be hard for anyone to imagine seeing you in the CEO chair.

YOU’RE MOVING INTO RETIREMENT
Maybe the rebranding you are looking for is a signal that you are hanging up your power suits and are ready to take on a different role in the community. Your portrait should reflect your personality and your line of work, and influences how people perceive you.

YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE MESSAGE
Your headshot portrait tells a story about you – your work, your personality, your approach to your livelihood. If you don’t like what your current portrait says about you, it’s time to change that message. If it’s too stiff and formal, rebrand with a portrait that has more warmth and vibrancy. Or if your portrait was taken before you climbed a few rungs on the ladder, curate an image of power and importance with a new headshot in a power suit, in a cosmopolitan environment, such as the portrait of the gentleman above.

If you need a professional business headshot for your website, LinkedIn profile or business page and have the flexibility to go outdoors and use natural light, I provide on location portraits for your business in the Woodlands, Conroe and Spring area for  $150 + tx.  You receive your images as an immediate digital download, with commercial release.   I also offer indoor sessions if you prefer to have your headshots taken in your office, with studio lighting, or at a location of your choosing in the Woodlands, Spring or Conroe area.

Establish Your Online Persona – The Woodlands Business Headshot Photographer

Busting the Top 5 Myths About Headshots – The Woodlands Headshot Photographer

I hear from a lot of clients who don’t want to have their headshots taken, but they know that having a professional portrait is essential in today’s world where employers are routinely scouting out applicants on various social media outlets. You absolutely want to make sure that you’re leaving a positive impression. There are some myths floating around about getting your photos taken, and the root of those worries are usually false if you hire  a professional.

MYTH ONE: My pictures will turn out awkward because I won’t know how to pose
One of the biggest reasons to select a professional photographer is the ability to pose you in a flattering way.  A good pro will put you at ease because of their expertise while posing you.  A professional will take charge of the shoot, leaving you confidant your photographer knows what they’re doing. It’s not on you, it’s on the photographer to get that great pose and angle.

 

Many people cite lack of confidence as their main reason for avoiding getting their headshots done.
Here is a truth: You do not have to be a natural model in front of the camera.
You do not have to worry you will look awkward

Hire a professional, and let them guide you.

 

MYTH TWO: The camera always makes me look bigger than I am/I need to lose weight before I have photos taken
This is a myth because you are most surely your own worst critic. However,  *wide angle lenses as found on most cheap cameras and cell phones* do add distortion. Without getting too technical, lenses range from fish eye  to telephoto, with a lot of millimetres in between. A professional will choose the right focal length lens and shooting angle to flatter your body type.  Trust that your photographer has the right equipment to make you look your best!

 

MYTH THREE: The photo doesn’t really matter, it’s my resume that counts
I’m sure you have an amazing resume, and the ability to connect with your clients and fellow professionals in person. However, your profile portrait is the first impression you are giving to the world. You are the face of your own brand. Brand professionally.

 

Put as much effort into your online persona as you do your personal presence.
Your headshot is your digital introduction to the world,
as much as your smile and handshake is in person.

MYTH FOUR: The photographer can just fix up anything in Photoshop
While editing programs are very powerful,  we’re really just moving pixels around and it can only do so much.  The technical aspects of the shoot are in the hands of your photographer, but you’re going to have to come prepared.  Your photographer can fix stray hairs, but cannot give you a whole new ‘do in Photoshop. We can remove blemishes, but we cannot completely redo your make up. A good photographer provides a natural looking headshot, without excess editing. And when necessary, make changes such as with the transition lenses below.

 

 MYTH FIVE: I don’t have a nice suit, so I’ll have nothing to wear
If you work in a suit, you have a suit. If you don’t have a suit, and don’t work in a suit…why are you worried about having a suit for your portraits? Wear what defines you as a person, and as a business, and what reflects you and your style. Remember you are the ambassador for yourself and your work. Your headshot should tell that story about you and your work.

 

If you need a professional business headshot for your website, LinkedIn profile or business page and have the flexibility to go outdoors and use natural light, I provide on location portraits for your business in the Woodlands, Conroe and Spring area for  $150 + tx.  You receive your images as an immediate digital download, with commercial release.   I also offer indoor sessions if you prefer to have your headshots taken in your office, with studio lighting, or at a location of your choosing in the Woodlands, Spring or Conroe area.

Print Credits – The Woodlands Photographer

After your photo session is complete, and it’s time for the viewing and ordering session it’s helpful to make a list of your needs. For most clients, everything you need fits exactly into one of my customizable choose-your-own-products Collections. There might be something on your list that is not covered though, and that is where the print credit comes in.

What is the most popular ways for clients to spend their print credit?

1. Grad Cards and/or wallet prints.  If you need announcements, take a head count for the grad cards.  I offer several sizes and styles of grad cards, so read all about them here. If you plan to order cards from the school, you can slip in wallet prints. Since these are small at 2×3 inches, it’s best to order a close up shot.

Wallet prints come in sets of 16, and can be in square format sheets that retain the original image as shot, like below:

senior print credits for high school seniors how to spend their credits

Or you can have your wallet prints die cut, with rounded edges. Please note that this style cuts into the image around the edges, so you’ll lose a small portion of the image around all sides.

2. Gift prints for family and friends. Grandma definitely wants a beautiful print of her family, click here for info about the perfect print for grandma’s wall!  Gift prints are sized 8×10, 5×7 or sets of 16 wallets. I offer several gift print packages, from large Family Packages to Grad Card packages with enough wallet prints for your senior grad announcements. Gift print packages are hugely popular and save you money!

How Do Senior Collections Work? – The Woodlands Senior Photographer

Looking around for a senior photographer can be confusing, especially trying to figure out exactly how much of a cost commitment there will be and what you get with your senior pictures Collection. So let’s take a look at how senior portrait sessions and Collections work!

STEP ONE: CHOOSE A SESSION
Choose either a mini session or a full session. Mini sessions are one hour,  all inclusive, paid up front, and include a smaller number of digital photos and product. They do not include a complimentary make up artist. 
With full sessions, you pay a sitting fee retainer up front, which covers a much longer shoot and the make up artist.  You purchase your Collection separately, at a Viewing Session. You will have many more photos to choose from, at least 50+.
For more information about Mini vs Full Sessions, click to see my senior info page here.

 

STEP TWO: CHOOSE A COLLECTION
If you chose a mini session, your images will be made available for download so you don’t have to choose a Collection.
If you chose a full session, you’ll meet with me for a Viewing appointment to see your 50+ image gallery and make selections. There are 4 Collections to choose from, and we’ll go over the differences. The top two Collections include all the digitals in your gallery and a mobile app. A third has a small number of digital images, and the fourth is a print Collection.
The minimum order for full Senior Collections is $750.

 

STEP THREE: CHOOSE YOUR PRODUCTS
Your Collection will include either all or some of the digital images in your gallery, and then comes the fun part — choosing which beautiful products for display! There are three categories of products — small, medium and large. Each Collection comes with your choice of these products.  So you can simply look at the list of products — print packages, albums, collages, canvases — and choose the right one for you! Why get locked into a Collection that includes prints and products you don’t need? With my options, the choice is yours and you never walk away with something that you don’t want!

 

STEP FOUR: SPEND YOUR PRINT CREDITS
Lastly, each Collection comes with a print credit for you to spend on the a la carte menu to fill out your Collection. All my prices are listed so you can easily see how much the products cost — plus I offer some great print packages that help you save money on popular print sizes!

With my Senior Portrait Collections, you’ll never have to worry about spending money on products that you are not interested in. You walk away with exactly what you want and need!

When To Have New Headshots Taken – The Woodlands Photographer

Have you been debating getting new headshots, but aren’t sure if it’s necessary? Or maybe you just really dread being in front of the camera, and are looking to put it off? We all know that headshots are essential for business people in all industries, but even if you aren’t in a corporate environment you might still need to get a great headshot of yourself. So how do you know when it’s time to update your headshots?

YOU HAVE CHANGED INDUSTRIES
Your headshot should represent you and your industry. If you have changed’ jobs, or are considering a career change, you might consider updating your headshots. Maybe you’ve moved from a casual working environment to one where suits and ties are not optional, or you’ve left your corporate job to open your own small business. Your headshot will say a lot about you and your work, so market yourself accordingly.

IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 5 YEARS
You should change your headshot as you age, to keep it current and accurately represent you. Every 2-3 years is a general timeframe for getting new shots done.

YOUR LOOKS HAVE CHANGED
This is especially true for women, who tend to change their looks often with their hairstyle and colour. If your headshot shows you as a redhead with short hair, but you’re now a long haired blonde, you’ll want to update to your current style. You want the people who meet you in person to recognize you from your portrait.

IT’S OUT OF STYLE
Clothes, hairstyles, make up and even headshot fashions go out of style. Think of those laser light school shots from the 80’s or 90’s Grease-style glamour shots. If your headshot has an outdated sense of fashion, modernize it. The current trend for headshots is away from the traditional studio  and outside for a cosmopolitan feel.

Pretty Texas Style Senior Portraits The Woodlands

What makes a senior session all Texan? Pretty senior styling, a country location with plenty of sunshine, jean shorts and of course – cowboy boots! This senior looks absolutely gorgeous in white and blue against the greenery and wood, with her long hair perfectly styled and just a bit of wind.  This senior came to me from Cypress for her senior pictures, and I’m so honoured she chose to make the drive! The buildings in the back and the wooden bridge add something extra to the first series of her senior photoshoot, before we moved to the field. It’s nice to have a little variety in your senior pictures!

article and images about how to have a professional online portfolio

 

A PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOT
Start with a professional headshot. Trash that cell phone snap or blurry vacation photo. You want to look sharp and professional, and like you take yourself and your business seriously. Invest in yourself with a professional headshot.

UNCLUTTER FOR CLARITY
Keep your portfolio updated and succinct. Have clear headlines and bullet points with your most important achievements and projects, starting with your most recent projects. Keep the language clear and to the point, without run on sentences. Make it easy to read so your readers don’t have to search for relevant information about your and your work.

PROFESSIONAL CONTACT INFORMATION
Have a business email and telephone contact number. Your email should be your name or business, not your college nickname. Make sure those writing or calling you KNOW they have the right contact information, and recognize your name when they see your email in their inboxes.

A CLEAR TITLE IN YOUR HEADLINE
Have a professional title in your headline. A relevant title to your working career helps potential clients and employers know exactly what you do and what you know. On all your online portfolios, there is usually a space to add a title. Choose one that represents you honestly, in a professional manner, and that doesn’t seem contrived.

SHOWCASE YOUR WORK EXPERIENCE
Sprinkle your website with images. If you offer a product, show examples. If you have worked with partners in the past, or have attended conferences, have image samples from those experiences as an online footprint of your accomplishments. People react positively to an online portfolio full of glossy images and colour – just make sure those images are clear and professionally done.

 

If you need a professional business headshot for your website, LinkedIn profile or business page and have the flexibility to go outdoors and use natural light, I provide on location portraits for your business in the Woodlands, Conroe and Spring area for  $150 + tx.  You receive your images as an immediate digital download, with commercial release.   I also offer indoor sessions if you prefer to have your headshots taken in your office, with studio lighting, or at a location of your choosing in the Woodlands, Spring or Conroe area.

Contact me for your session by contacting me directly with this CONTACT FORM.  See my headshot gallery HERE.
