Baby May

I'm so happy to introduce you to my newest baby friend, Emma May.  Emma is the baby girl of Matt and Eileen, Aiken's area directors of Campus Outreach.  

Thanks, Emma, for a fun photo session!

The New Corporate Headshot-Suits, But Not Stuffy

 

MAU approached me recently to provide new, fresh photographs for their website.  MAU is a company in Augusta that, well, according to their tag line...
"Providing business solutions that give our client partnerships a competitive edge through designed processes and our greatest asset - People."

Ok, I'm pretty sure that tag line was developed by a committee;) 

Actually, MAU stands for "Management, Analysis, and Utilization, Inc."....

which translated for ordinary people like me means....  

MAU is a brilliant company focused on doing something that every business needs.  MAU finds people and processes that make any business WORK.  ("Work" here meaning, "make money";)  It's a smart company run by smart guys.  

I got to meet the workforce gurus at MAU recently when we took some new headshots for their website.  In preparation for the photography, I asked them what they were looking for.  They wanted headshots that looked "approachable".   You can see from the photos posted below that we accomplished that, suits and all.



 

Happy Birthday, Hayes!

The charming gentleman in the photo is Hayes, one of my baby club sweeties.  He's a big boy now because he just turned one. The year flew by!

Twitter and Facebook

I just set up my blog to feed automatically to my Twitter and Facebook pages.  I can't wait to see if this works!

Fresh Faces for the Web

I've had several requests lately for new web photographs.  There is a continuing trend away from stuffy classical posing and lighting to imagery that, as one of my clients put it, makes the person look "approachable".  I think folks just want to look good and it doesn't matter whether or not the image is a family portrait or a corporate headshot.  

I just photographed the lovely staff at Nandina in downtown Aiken. Jim and Susan Victor and Sue Shannon are the folks we have to thank for bringing their design sensibilities to our little town.  Nandina's tag line is "Real Life, Real Style".  Boy, talk about spot on branding!  When I walk in store, as beautifully stylish as it is, I never get the feeling that a person couldn't really live in any of the room spaces that decorate their store.

I just sold my house last week. When I went to my attorney's office to sign the paperwork, I complimented their newly designed office space.  It was professional looking of course, but stylish and comfortable, too.  My lawyer said, "Nandina designed the interiors for us".

Figures.
