Business Headshots for Trade Magazine - story #2

Meet Betsy. 

Casual…comfortable…and confident!

We’ve known Betsy and her family for quite some time now, having first met when we photographed her wedding, back when her kids were...well, kids! We’ve since had the opportunity for a few other sessions with her - a family portrait shoot, and a couple of corporate headshot sessions (the last of which we documented here).

No fighting for the drivers seat!

Just before Christmas, we got together for another photo session because Betsy was to be featured in a spray foam trade publication. These photos were planned to visually support this feature on her business experiences with a focus on her personal story - of her family life, and her interests and hobbies outside of her professional life.

Oh, and her husband, Greg, had a flight to catch, and had to leave two hours after the scheduled start time...

No pressure!

Discussing exactly WHO is truly in the drivers seat…

Betsy thought of all the details on what she wanted to portray. She rounded up her busy family and took the top off their beautiful ‘57 Ford Fairlane for the first shots to capture the family and their love of their classic cars...even though it was a touch frosty!

Her passion for food lead her to study to be a chef…which lead us into her kitchen for some lifestyle images in a chefs jacket, and the family hanging out.

Who’s in the driver’s seat now?!

Unfortunately, the time of year was just not right to capture her endeavors in beekeeping! Thankfully, there were multiple jars of honey to include in the photos - one of which may have been quickly consumed in our household afterwards.

Most people avoid selecting winter as a time of year to take photos...it’s sooo cold! Photographically, however, it is a great time to take pictures. Snow reflects light all around, lighting your subject brilliantly from multiple angles, reducing shadows on the face. With snow being white, it also creates a pleasing quality of light, helping to make skins tones beautiful.

Thankfully, the day of our session worked out to be milder, and not overly taxing to be outside. They just needed to hold their breath every once and a while…to avoid seeing it!

Read the full article on Betsy, as it appears in the print version of the magazine here. The web version can be found here.

For our next post, we’ll be sharing the headshot session we did for a company a while back…95 individuals over 2 days....and no, that’s not a typo!

Let us know if there’s any photographic stories that you’d like us to share!

Fall Family Photo Sessions with Thanksgiving Around the Corner

I was in for a shock when I realized that not this weekend but NEXT weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada! Is it just me or did that sneak up really fast? It seems early this year and I am not ready. I mean, I am ready for pumpkin pie (I am always ready for pie), and I am ready for fall weather, I am also ready for all the family photo sessions that we are doing and will be doing as the leaves change colour. What I am not ready for is that after Thanksgiving comes Halloween and after Halloween comes Christmas... and now I am going into a coma!  I guess that was a very roundabout way to say that I am not ready for Christmas! So let’s not talk about that.

Thanksgiving weekend is always a busy one for us. Not only because we are taking the time to give Thanks with the ones we love, but we also get to capture all the other families who get together to spend time with each other. Big family groups are very popular this time of year, with gorgeous weather and often family is in from out-of-town! You can't beat that...especially if there’s pie!

If you’re planning on having your fall family photo done soon (and you should be) I would recommend reading one of our most popular blog posts titled “Tips & Tricks for a Smooth and Inspiring Fall Photography Session” which you can read here

We still have a couple of spots left, so grab your closest family member, and their pumpkin pie, and get some memorable photographs taken!

Here are some sessions from this past weekend!

Love, LOCPS

Photo Session in Sarnia Ontario- with LOCPS!

Recently we were visiting family in Sarnia, Ontario. The beach there is stunning and taking pictures just before sunset makes it even more magical. We always have such a great time with our cousins and their kids... of course we had to do updated family photos while we were there and with such gorgeous kids we couldn't put the camera away if we tried.

Check some of our shots out and enjoy! Love- LOCPS xoxo
