Here is the ever-stylish Sonya Berg, with some of her amazing evening and cocktail gowns.  Not everyone works in fashion, but most women have a dress of two that they simply LOVE, that makes them feel fabulous, like they could walk the red carpet.  But we often don’t have our own swarm of paparazzi hanging around taking photos.

Our Belle Amour sessions are perfect for that!  With 3 (or more) wardrobe options, it’s so fun to put on that stunning dress, and feel like you’re having your very own celebrity photo shoot.

Be sure to tune in to Sonya’s fashion segments on KUSI, ch. 9.

Are you ready to get your glam on, and enjoy being a diva for a day?  Ask us about bringing a friend, and making it a girls’ day – that just might turn into a great girls’ night out!

We bring you another installment of Beyond Business – photography for men.   So what is it that makes men reluctant to ham it up for the camera?  Well, we hear from some of our guys that they just don’t like having their picture taken (trust us, that happens with plenty of women, too).  Or they feel like they’re being too vain dressing nice and posing for the camera.  Guess what, some women feel that way, too!  Is it lack of fashion sense?  Perhaps, but there are plenty of fashion-challenged women out there as well.

SO, you see, gentlemen, these are pretty typical worries.  Which means it comes down to assessing how do you want to be seen?  What’s your image saying now, whether it’s how you represent yourself to your friends, to potential employers, or to a love interest?  As you see below, the image on the left is a typical shot, that’s “okay”, but not dynamic.  It doesn’t reach out and connect with anyone.  But the image on the right, is like BAM!  He’s connected, friendly, engaging, and ready to say hello.

Take a moment to take stock of your profile, and ask yourself what message you’re sending out.  If it’s not the message you want to deliver, take it to the next level with professional portraits.

And just a couple more . . .

Look for more of ‘Mr. P’ as we did some contemporary business portraits as well.  Gordon Gecko, move over!

Are these little girls the sweetest, or what? I melt!

So very sweet!

Little Miss ‘E’ is already showing that she’s the more vocal, “outgoing” of the two.  And I swear that’s some mischief in that little grin with her tongue sticking out at me. ;-D

On the other hand, Little Miss ‘S’ is a very calm and serene, and was quick to strike a pose!

We could go on, but had to add one final image of these sweet baby girls.  Sweet dreams, babies!

We look forward to seeing you soon and bringing a smile to mom’s face.

So, we work with LOTS of women, kids, and babies, but the men are often the reluctant subject, typically dragged to the studio by their PR person (for business headshots), or by the wife for the annual family portraits, or anniversary photos.  But guys really do need good photos, too.

Most men are satisfied with a shot they capture from a cell phone, and that’s the image they use to represent themselves in business, and in personal realms, like social media and profile images.  While the image on the left is ‘fine’ (he’s a good-looking guy to start with), it certainly doesn’t pack a punch like the image at top, and above to the right.

So, men, step up your game, and man-up for the camera!  Ladies, if your man’s current photos are lacking, and you’re wanting a personal gift for Mother’s Day, or your birthday, or . . . just because, give us a call, and we’ll give him the ‘BlueFlair Experience’!

A couple final images . . . 

This is Little Miss Inara!  As many of you know, she’s Nikkie’s new bundle of joy.  This was her first photoshoot, and she did beautifully!  What a sweet little princess.

Here’s the whole family having a ‘getting-to-know-you’ moment.

Isn’t she a bunch of squishy goodness?

Big sis seems to be a fan.  She has lots of girl-stuff to teach her little sister.

One last one before we go.  Total sweetness!

This little guy is full of smiles, and has a great disposition to boot!  Baby ‘G’ was posing with a brightly colored handmade quilt made by a relative.  What a great way to capture a meaningful family heirloom!

Me thinks he takes this “modeling” quite seriously!  Check out that “smoulder”! 

A little fun-time with Teddy.

And finishing up with a little tubby time.

Our Busy Bee program is all about Baby’s First Year, and we love capturing how dramatically they change from a tiny little infant into a toe-tapping toddler!

One great way to start fresh, is to get a professional headshot for your business.  Business branding includes YOU, not just your products.  Do you represent the look and feel of your products and overall business image?  Let BlueFlair help you kick it up a notch with a new set of headshots that will be sure to standout from the rest of your competition.
