We have already discussed several issues on how to be more photogenic.  There are so many tips and tricks out there on what to wear, what to do, etc that it is almost impossible to cover them all.  So for my final chapter I wanted to give you the highlights of miscellaneous great advice.  I also invite you to add your own comments because the final chapter on this will never truly be written.  We give advice from the point of view of a photographer and make-up artist (and in my…

Its happened to all of us - well a lot of us.  Okay...maybe it just happened to me and a few friends but regardless it is good advice!  It was my junior prom.  I had this beautiful sequined blue and gold dress (don't ask it was in the early 90's) and I wanted my makeup to just be stunning along with my hair.  I took myself to a well-known make-up distributor (of which I will not name) and had their "free makeover" done with the purchase of a lipstick.  I was sooo excited.  She asked the…

Let's face it - not all of us are truly, naturally photogenic.  And many of us who may actually be photogenic, don't think we are - therefore we aren't!  Having pictures done whether it be family photos, business photos, or boudoir can be very stressful.  You know what you want to see when it's all said and done yet actually being confident enough so that the camera can actually capture that is the source of great worry and even fear!  So in this series we are going to…

On June 2, 2012, we did a job at the Hotel St. Michael is Prescott, Arizona.  Chanel, the bride, told me later that she chose Digital Expressions because we were the first (and fastest) company to respond to her inquiry.  Chanel did all of her planning from Los Angeles, where she lives.  When she told me that she didn't want to use a backdrop and she wanted the reception to be the backdrop, and she wanted an open photo booth.  I thought that was an interesting concept.  One afternoon, we…

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would become a blogger.  I mean, who would be interested in what I have to say?  Well, it turns out, I have a lot to say.  Maybe I'll just be writing down words like I'm talking to myself and maybe eventually I will have feedback.  Whatever the case, I think it will be quite cathartic for me.  We have so much going on in our lives every day and every day I remember that I have it pretty darn good. …

When…

Photo booths are a really fun way for everyone to relax, loosen up and get into the party.  If they're feeling a little uneasy about not knowing everyone or how they "need" to be at the party, they help break the ice. 

It's a license to be silly, romantic, sexy,…
