In today's visually driven marketplace, a headshot photo holds significant weight in establishing a strong personal brand

A recent photography session in The Hague brought me the distinct pleasure of working with two well-traveled teenage boys

In our 6 years of running a portrait studio we have been asked to help families celebrate some wonderful moments in their lives. Maternity shoots for first pregnancies and a few final pregnancies. Newborn photoshoots celebrating those births, along with a number of other photoshoots including birthdays and graduations. Many times we’re simply celebrating the love a family shares.

How often have you found yourself frantically snapping off photo after photo in hopes of getting one usable photo? Probably more often than you care to admit. The truth is that while our smartphone cameras continue to improve exponentially our ability to use them effectively has not maintained that pace.

Take a photo every day. That’s kind of it. Sounds simple enough, right? Some people take a photo of the same scene every day, say the view out of their dorm room window or the same spot on their commute to work. Others take a photo of themselves every day as a way to document their newfound interest in fitness. Still, others choose a new subject each day. The options of what you photograph are of course limitless and completely up to you.

Not everyone can afford to have their photos done professionally but that shouldn’t prevent them or their children from the benefits and joys of having their photos printed.
