New Headshots and The Giveaway Winner!

Just because the new site has launched doesn’t mean this blog series is over! There was so much that went into the new site and brand and I just think it’s fun to share the process…One thing I knew I needed before we could launch it was new headshots…I considered asking a fellow photographer to take them for me, but then I decided it would be a fun opportunity to teach Ryan a little bit about shooting! The hope is that one day he can second shoot with me at weddings if he wants to :)

I’d say he did a really good job! I had just done an engagement shoot at the VMFA right before we took them and I love that place! So I decided I wanted to take my headshots there because it provided a pretty but neutral background…The other hard part was choosing an outfit! I thought a fairly neutral colored outfit would compliment my site without being too distracting…I found this skirt at the Anne Taylor factory and decided it was perfect for this!

You’ve probably seen most of these on the new site, but there’s a couple in there that didn’t make the cut…I love the way they look with my new brand! They’re supposed to feel fun, but classy at the same time…hopefully they actually do and that’s not just in my head…

Oh, and you can find the name of the Giveaway Winner at the bottom of this post!! Yayy!! Thank you so much to everyone who entered! I’m so thankful for your support and feedback!

And thank you Ryan for my headshots…You are the best! I love you :)

Ryan wasnt too upset when I told him we needed to make a pitstop at Starbucks on the way to the VMFA…

The serious look doesn’t really suit my brand..haha…but Ryan made me take a few with my best model face! Thanks to Katelyn James I had some previous experience practicing it…It’s hard though! I feel for your brides who struggle not to laugh when trying to do it!
