One of the things that gets some people stuck is the posing – that feeling of not knowing what to do in front of a camera. Feeling awkward. Overthinking and stressing. Of course your headshot photographer should be able to direct you and give you some cues that will help with the posing. I also believe it helps […]

Meet Maddison Falls: I have had the pleasure of photographing Maddison Falls on two occasions. I have also bonded with her over our love of chocolate and cheese and bakery items.
