5 Ideas To Include When Planning For Holiday Photos




The holiday are upon us. It's 114 degrees outside in Arizona so most people aren't thinking about Halloween which is 71 days, Thanksgiving 99 days away or the winter holidays.


These tips will help you to plan the photoshoot so you're ready when you set an appointment with your photographer.

  1. Plan your wardrobe. It make such a difference to coordinate colors and styles. Maybe you want red for Christmas, green for St Patricks day, gold and silver for New Years. Use your imagine and fit the palette to your theme.
  2. Find a fun or interesting location that will say something about who you and your mates are in the photo. A baseball field, the Love sculpture in Scottsdale, Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix, the bridge in Tempe and one of the many beautiful mountain areas surrounding the valley.
  3. Plan the photoshoot during the day at a time where everyone has eaten (you don't want low blood sugar to ruin the event) especially the kids. 
  4. Make sure babies and anyone who needs a nap has had their nap. It's stressful on everyone when the poor little baby is fussing. 
  5. If you intend to have your pet part of the photo think about some of the same issues in 3. Tire them out before you show up for your photoshoot. Bring treats that you can use to bribe that pup to behave. 


Your photographer can help you with these decisions taking one more activity off your list. More time to pursue the sales and get your gifts all planned out.

We all know that holidays can be very stressful. Make your appointment now for your photoshoot and tic it off your to do list. Less stress, happy photos! Linda@LindaKazares.com

3 Bright Ideas For Better Visual Branding During Virtual Meetings

Image
  In the past, I've written a lot about virtual meetings and the visual impact on your brand.  As a  virtual photographer , my eye starts to recognize opportunities for improving how you appear at a virtual meeting.  The tweaks are subtle.   Following are the three next level suggestions for improving your image during a virtual meeting.  💡Color of light. The most common color on an attendee's face on a virtual meeting is yellow, followed by orange. That often means the lights used are incandescent. Solution: Soft white lights are a good solution. A techie option is to go for a light rated close to 5500k (kelvins), a neutral. Many ring lights have options that include Warm White, Cool White, and Daylight. 2. 👀 Glasses. I wear them. Half of my clients do as well. They are a challenge. Solution:  Look straight at the screen. Do not have the screen positioned so that you have to look up. Have lights slightly above your screen and to either side if you have multiple light options
