Different Headshot Styles Catering to Individual Business Needs

 
This is a great example of different styles of headshots. Melissa Portal, a mortgage broker, opted for a more casual, outdoor environment. Julia Glyde, a women's business builder and speaking trainer, wanted her headshots taken within her work environment instead of the studio. Finally, our most formal option in studio was chosen by Jerod Marsalli, an attorney in the Pleasant Hill area. Julie can work with whatever your marketing and business photo needs are to create the best representation of your business.

Wednesday's Tip of the Day

Wednesday's Tip of the Day...

During family photo sessions it’s great to bring along a family member or friend to help with the young children when there’s a photo of just mom and/or dad being taken.  That way the kids can be happily entertained so everyone in the photo can relax.

Testimonial Tuesday!

Love from Julie's clients...
Julie is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. From my first meeting with her I knew I was dealing with a real professional. Her in-depth questions during our initial interview wowed me with her knowledge and thinking. And her easy-going nature made me comfortable right off the bat……..In two days I pick up my wedding album, and I am so excited to see the final product. I have, of course, already poured over all of my pictures a million times. My mom and I cried when looking through the pictures, they were so beautiful. Julie is very, very talented. Her pictures capture not only the little details I had so carefully planned, but also the moments with my loved ones. She was the BEST decision I made when planning the wedding. I highly recommend Julie Cheshire. I know she will be in our lives to capture even more memories in the future!! -Monica O.
