As we have now entered 2016, there are likely many new things you are looking forward to. Possibly a new goal for your health, fitness, family, education, adventure, or any number of things. I have seen a lot of posts this year in regards to what people are hoping for in 2016, and it is very exciting! I have no doubt it will be a great year.

A lot of business owners are focused on preparing a new business plan, revenue goals, networking connections, a new website, or attending conferences and events this year. One thing that is often overlooked is their promotional materials, and how important it is to keep a fresh look in their marketplace.

One of the best ways to ‘keep current’ is to ensure that your headshot is up to date. Your look changes from year to year, and when you are passing out your business cards, updating your social media profiles, your website, etc. you want to make sure that what people see on your materials is what they see in person. Pictures are a trigger to help people remember who you are. If your headshot is not current, then it is difficult for people to recognize you, and therefore, difficult for you to stand out.

So start fresh in 2016 with a new headshot! Not only is it a fun session, but it will also greatly benefit your business. Contact us today to book your session.

Photos of friends, family, and loved ones are too precious to lose. When you receive photos from your professional photographer from your recent photoshoot, or even simply taking care of the photos you took on your iPhone, remember these tips to help preserve your photos:

1. Store them in a folder on your computer. If you have many photos, it can be easiest to store them in separate folders by date on your computer for easy reference.

2. Back up your hard drive. Computers crash, so make sure your hard drive is backed up (onto an external drive). You can buy an external hard drive from any computer store such as Staples. (more…)
