Meet Beth | Headshot Session | Winston Salem Photography Studio
Her warmth bubbled across the phone line, lighting up a room she wasn’t even present in. I knew the moment I talked to her on the phone she was a lovely person. She was a conundrum, shy and bold at the same time. Her tone and cadence had a way of pulling you into the conversation. I couldn’t wait to meet her.
”I don’t want to look stodgy,” Beth said. She’d previously had some photographs done that she wasn’t happy with. “They don’t capture my personality,” continuing on to say that she didn’t find herself to be photogenic - something I hear quite often from my portrait clients. Immediately, I knew what I had to do.
I was in shock the day of her session. I didn’t know what to expect based on how she’d described herself and her style on the phone but I certainly wasn’t expecting the bouncing, radiance of color walking through my door. A bright kelly green handbag was highlighted against her striking royal blue blazer; her red shoes stood in confidence. Against the flush of color, her sharp, clean silver bobbed hair perfectly framed her face. Amongst everything that was unexpected, she was just as warm as I’d surmised. There was no way she wouldn’t be photogenic!
After sitting and chatting a while and then thumbing through the her professional attire she’d brought to have her headshots made in, we began her session. Over the phone she’d mentioned that she wanted her femininity, fierceness and professionalism to translate into her photographs - all while maintaining an approachable appearance. This was a combination I was excited to try!
In the end, her loveliness translated perfectly. We captured some fierce headshots as well as some portraits that brought out the light I’d initially heard over the phone. The BEST part?? She was so happy with the headshots that she shared them immediately with friends and family - something she wasn’t akin to doing. *heart melting*
