Professional musician head shots and business cards

Posted on Jan 10th 2009 by Neil.

Elizabeth is the Principle Flute for the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

I was privileged to sit down with her for a head shot portrait session an these are the results.

Elizabeth wasn’t sure what she needed from her head shot portrait session but we convinced her that the business card was a great choice.

Why are personalized professional business cards important?

Here is what happens when you receive 50 business cards in a single night of networking:

You can’t match any names with faces, so you forget everyone.
You are so overwhelmed that you don’t know who to follow-up with first and end up not touching base with any of your new contacts.
You have spent so much time connecting with many different people that you’ve neglected to build a stronger relationship with a select few.
You toss them in your card holder, under your bed, within your sofa or ontop of your TV.

How to create a business card that SCREAMS “BRAND ME”!

When you hand out your business card with a classy, personality revealing photograph - people will recognize you and remember you. Your business card is not only how you can make a statement but leave a lasting memory. The Personal Branding Blog has 9 more ideas for you to make a card that’s effect so read on there:

Wendy & Billys Adirondack Album

Posted on Mar 5th 2008 by Neil.

Wendy & Billy finalized their album from their Adirondack mountains destination wedding. Liesl and I were both there to capture this amazing event, it’s so fun when clients hire us to work together. You may recognize their mountain sized photos populating the rotating headers here in the journal, or recognize them from their preview gallery from September 16th, 2006. Sometimes it takes a while to get to greatness……

…..over a year later I hope it shows in their album design.
