Most of my clients absolutely hate getting photos of themselves because they've had a bad experience before, the angle of the photos taken was bad, they had a double chin in the photo, or the lighting was terrible showing dark circles under their eyes.

I correct all of those things in my studio.  My clients get professional hair and makeup helping them feel pampered, relaxed, and polished for the camera.  This also reduces the appearance of dark circles underneath the eyes. 

My studio is all natural light.  I use the windows.  This naturally softens the skin, evening out the skin tone, and creates an overall more flattering look on women, especially women over 40.

This is a screenshot of what Elisa posted on her Facebook page after her Glam Session.  "I absolutely hate getting my photos taken.  She made the photoshoot so much fun.  And I absolutely LOVE MY photos!!  I really felt like a celebrity on the run way.  Ladies, I just can't say enough about the experience."

Here is a Before shot (when she arrived at my studio) and on the right is the last shot of the day!  Look at the difference in her Confidence!   She just SHINES!   She's having a wonderful time and fully trusts the process.

I can't wait for you to experience a Glam Session with me!   If you'd like more information, click here.

Heidi working on her coaching certification.  She needed photos for social media and her website to attract her ideal client.  

She likes to travel so we incorporated the map, which I love!  She also likes to journal and write so we added elements that pop in the photos like color pens and a colorful notebook.  Also her laptop and a bright yellow mug.

The last picture with confetti symbolizes her quitting her corporate job soon to pursue her passion in coaching teenage girls.  I can't wait for that day when she can use it and CELEBRATE!  🥳

I'll be celebrating with her because it's been 2 years since I quit my corporate job to pursue my photography business full time and it's the best decision I ever made.

Ladies, pursue your dreams!

The way you pose and hold your head in a photo can create or eliminate a double chin.

And usually, it's just one simple adjustment you have to make that will fix the issue.

Push your chin (head) toward the camera.  Yes, like a turtle.  "Turtle your head"

It will FEEL weird, also like your a chicken, but it looks great from the front and eliminates a double chin!  I do it on ALL my clients.

I did a short Facebook Live earlier this year where I demonstrated it.  Here's the video: (don't ya love that screenshot of me 🤪)

Helping women in the NRV, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, and Roanoke Virginia feel beautiful in portraits.

"I don’t think we ever see ourselves as others see us. Thank you for letting me see myself through your eyes!" - Sheila H.
What do you see when you see a picture of yourself? Every flaw, right? Me too, but that's not how others see you!

Others see a beautiful friend, a loving mother, a devoted grandmother and so much more. Why? Because others see "the inside" too.

When we look at photographs of ourselves we only see the outside.

In my photoshoots, I help your "insides" shine through on the outside so that you can see yourself as others see you.

Because feeling beautiful radiates from the inside out. ✨

Many women I talk too who are interested in a Glam Session want to look sexy but don't want to show a lot of skin. Here is a way to do that.

That's my job to show you what to do and I will never post any pictures unless you've given me permission. You are safe with me.
