The Perfect Christmas Gift is an Experience Full of Possibility & Many Beautiful Things....

Shawnalee Anderton December 4, 2018

This Christmas, Gift an E-Gift card for a Photo Shoot

There are so many reasons for a shoot! Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head: There is someone in your life that could use a little pampering and a reminder of just how truly beautiful they are. Or perhaps your daughter, son or grandchild is graduating and would love to have senior photos. A friend that has been pouring their heart and soul into their new start-up business and could use some gorgeous head shots. The list goes on for reasons why. Then of course there is the experience itself.

Throughout the process I take good care of my clients. I provide as much support as they need … wardrobe consultation, on site makeup & hair and perhaps most important…fun! I make it my personal mission to give an experience that my clients will love. It’s not difficult really, I love what I do and have a great time doing it which is extremely contagious. And when people are having a good time. Beautiful things happen.

Recently I shot a senior who is graduating from high school. I was happy that her mom agreed to be in some of the photos with her daughter. She was a little nervous. One of the things she said was that whenever she sees a photo of herself, it doesn’t ever reflect what she feels she actually looks like. When the day arrived for her and her daughter to view the photos, I asked if I had managed to capture what she thought she looked like and she gave a big smile and said “Yes!”

Just a heads up: I have a limited number that include a print and matching digital image so don’t wait too long. They may not last.…cheers all!

When I showed @lindawongmuah this bts of her, she said the image feels like right before marriage (but wearing absolutely nothing.) -sounds like either the best time ever or one of those dreams!!
 We then discussed how this occasion is so similar to
Yup, same image as the previous, there appears to be a discrepancy with resolution that I'm working on. Bare with me. Will be deleting the first if it's been resolved here. Carry on....

The beauty that exists when you are not looking at the camera can be quite astounding.
