Photo shoot style by Park City Photographers
2 LoOks in 1o
Often when I build an outfit, I begin with a great pair of shoes or boots. Here, the colors in the boot were the building blocks.
Photoshoot:
1. Look one: Everything but the jacket. The cream colored top will perfectly frame your face with this beautiful neckline.
2. Look two: Add the bomber jacket. Even this elegant rings feels "tough" with a little leather.
3. Try a bright color scarf or necklace - such as red/orange to add zing!

2 LoOks iN 1o
Versatility and several looks with a simple outfit are necessary if you are short on time for a photo shoot. Here, we build, beginning with the jeans and a simple black tank, something everyone has in their closet. From there, find a belt that isn't boring - like this pony hair and rhinestone belt. You've now found your color set. A tough looking pair of jeans needs a tough boot and jacket within the same color family. Add a bracelet for a little fun.
Here's the shoot sequence:
Quick look to add to your book!
Two looks for your photo shoot:
Begin with a great pair of jeans and a simple black tank. No belt. Slouch up against a fence, lean up against a wall and look casual.
Look 2: Add the belt, tuck in the tank. Bracelet on the wrist. Work some nice head shots - hands near face showing off that gorgeous bracelet.
Look 3: Add the jacket.

YOUR image. Are you putting your best face forward?
More and more business professionals and entrepreneurs are creating accounts on Linked In every day, and the first image presented on your page is...your head shot. In a place where one should "put their best face forward", a quick perusal of my hundreds of connections inform me that this is most often not the case. Approximately 1.5 out of every 10 people have a professional photo. I read this as image conscious. I read this as professional. I read this as organized.
But what about the others? Here is a quick rundown of some of the images I've seen today:
-Bathroom mirror beauty. Holding up a cell phone and snapping a photo. You are gorgeous, darling! But, I can tell from the background that you are quite disorganized.
-Family on vacation. Cute kids. But they won't make me hire you. But maybe, that little guy? Adorable! If I ever need a kid for stock images...
-Dude sucking in stomach on beach. Wow. It will be hard for me to go into your office and not recall your hairy chest.
- Bad lighting lady. If you are cutting corners on your image, what will you do to mine?
- Computer camera to his picture - Not a flattering angle - for anyone. Especially if you have nose hairs.
If one is searching for a professional, they want to see a professional. The image doesn't necessarily need to be a head shot, it can be you, in your work environment. Here, potential clients get a taste of where you work and what you do.

+Rich Wyman - silhouetted w/piano against a large crowd.
(I did not take the above mentioned Linked In photos. They are, however, great examples!)
As you look to put your best face forward to improve your business image, consider hiring a professional photographer. After all, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Photo Fashion Style - Park City Photographers Deb DeKoff
What might I bring in my bag to an away shoot? A versatile wardrobe! I love traveling iwth solid colors - and mix up tones that work well together often. Here, I pair a simple pair of green jeans with a grey top (love it!) for a day look (on the right), and add a casual jacket with plenty of pockets for lens caps; or dress up the green jeans with a beautiful feminine top, hot shoes, and an orange jacket that shouts, for a night out.

Always take into consideration colors that work well for YOU. Red head? These are some of my favorite tones together! Also, going almost monochromatic with the tee and jeans will make you look leaner!
2 LooKs in 1o:
Look 1: Start again with the basics: jeans, tee, belt, and boot.
Look 2: Add jacket and scarf.
What to wear for a photo shoot - two looks - ten minutes - AKA 2 in 10.
What should I wear? How can I get as many looks as possible in as short a time as possible?
The answer is simple: build your outfit in layers. Start with a few basics - and swap out items like necklaces for a scarf; heels for boots or flats; change the earrings and toss on a jacket or cardigan.
Be sure to check out my page on Pinterest to view what I'm talking about!
What to wear for a quick photo shoot.
Here is one outfit that I put together, reflecting a great versatile style:
How would I start the session?
Basics - jeans, belt, boots, and tee. Pop on the glasses. Add scarf. Add jacket.
Full body - crop in - head shots - and back to full body.
It's been a long time...
It's been a long time seems appropriate for this blog in many respects, one of which includes the fact that it has been a long time since I've blogged; the other, the fact that the images I'm posting are quite "old", even though they were shot recently.
My photography has taken a turn since, gulp, 2007. It is no longer a part-time hobby, I am no longer a "mom-tographer" - you know, that mom with a camera. Nope. I am a full-fledged photographic business.
Enjoy these images. I'll try to blog more often! And yes, images are for "sale" on my website.
