Happy wedding day Sam and Julissa! I already know this day is going to be so beautiful and so blessed! I’m so happy for you guys!
Personal Brand Photography with @aprilkever | Scene 2 _______________ The second theme of April’s Photoshoot was about Nutrition & Health, for body and mind. Shakes, healthy recipes (full of colorful veggies!), reading inspiring books while sipping coffee from some of her favorite mugs, and relaxing at home with her dogs were all part of this section of our shoot. April often shares what’s on her plate and is a great example that nutrition is the fuel of a fit lifestyle. She’s a big proponent that, instead of just following the most recent fads, leading a balanced, healthy lifestyle is the best way to see lasting change. 💪🏻 April also makes a practice of diving into personal development books that encourage and inspire, so we wanted to represent that too. We definitely had fun during this portion of the photoshoot, including munching on some of the veggies she chopped and sampling that strawberry shake! 🥤 Hair & makeup: @autumnwoodsartistry ______________________ Even though I probably won’t always break down all of my Personal Brand sessions by scene and go into so much detail, I wanted to share this first session to give you all a better idea of what this type of session entails! Stay tuned for more photos from the other two themes of this photoshoot! 😉📷
Ready to see some real life Personal Brand Photos?! 🤗 ________________ Personal Brand Photography | April Kever @aprilkever April has a passion for helping busy moms (& dads) prioritize their health & fitness, and she’s a great example of someone who makes a priority of caring for herself and her family while being a #bosslady and encouraging others to better their lives, one choice at a time! She’s funny, relaxed, encouraging, and legitimately walks her talk. I’m so happy to know this lady! Swipe ➡️ to see a few of the photos from the first theme from her photoshoot: “Workouts & Fitness” April’s photoshoot covered 4 different aspects of her life as a wife, mom (and dog mom!) health & fitness motivator and business owner, so keep your eyes open for my next few posts featuring photos from the other 3 scenes of her photoshoot. It was a blast and I seriously can’t wait to share more with you! Hair & Makeup: @autumnwoodsartistry
If you saw my IGTV video the other day (my first ever!) you know I’ve been working behind the scenes on adding Personal Brand Photography to my business! It’s been a long time coming for several reasons, but I’ve spent the last few months creating and actually trying out a system that I hope will be SO helpful (and a great experience) for the people that I get to serve through it. Personal Brand Photography could be described a lot of different ways, but my most simple explanation is that it’s photos that reflect the heart and genuine personality of the person (or people) behind any brand or business. It’s for entrepreneurs who understand that there’s power in showing your face and connecting with your audience on a personal, genuine level by sharing photos that reflect who you are and what you want to bring to the world. It’s NON-stuffy headshots and “mission-statement-meets-behind-the-scenes” in lighthearted, lifestyle photos. - I think any business owner would agree that it’s important to connect with your audience, but I know a lot of us struggle to know how to do that, especially online, so here’s a really practical side of personal brand photography: Regardless of any algorithm, we can all agree that showing up consistently is key, right? So walking away from your personal brand photoshoot with a whole collection of photos to use for daily posting on Instagram, Facebook, your website (WHEREVER!) could be a really big game changer for you and your business. Also, no more scrambling for content to post (when it’s already been too many days since your last post and your followers probably think you’ve fallen off the face of the earth. 😂) - You can connect with your current (and future) followers easily & on a deep level with photos that are great quality, ready to use, and are easy for yo to talk about & write captions for-since you’re in them and helped to design the entire photoshoot. (Also I’m currently working on a little *bonus* Social Media Posting Prompts List so you aren’t left with writer’s block for your captions. 😉) If want to learn more, click my bio link! Keep your eyes open for some photos from my first PBP shoot coming soon too!
Golden hour may be beautiful, but it had nothing on the joy these two were beaming after choosing to spend the rest of their lives loving each other!
Pls read ❤️ ⬇️ Over the last few months or so, I’ve made a little bit of a shift in my business - figuratively and literally. One of those shifts has been from always being behind the camera to stepping in front of it a little bit more often. The reason is fairly simple but my arrival here has been a little complex, as most personal growth stories are. Over the last while, I’ve walked into a new level of freedom & confidence about who I am, why I’m here, and what I bring to the world. Growing up I was always a pretty introverted, responsible, cautious person, very careful not to step on toes or to even appear to be asking for too much attention. While those characteristics are important to a certain level, I also realized something: without taking the risk of stepping into the light (or in some cases, in front of the camera) and being real & vulnerable enough to share my own personal journey, I will never be able to connect with, serve, & bless other people to the level that I feel called to. Here’s the deal: No one is everyone’s cup of tea. The reason why stepping out and sharing more of who you are with the world is risky is because when we come out and are honest about more aspects of who we are, chances are that someone, somewhere won’t like or agree with what you have to share. BUT when we are real and honest and vulnerable, there will be other people who will be able to relate on a deep & really important level. When we’re honest about the twists and turns and pit stops, others might be able to recognize that they’re on a similar journey, that they’re understood, and that they’re not alone. Who I am might not be for everybody, and even though that would’ve bothered me SO MUCH at one time, I’m learning to be at peace with it now. Because if me being real about who I am can help someone else to live for their purpose, I’m here for it. I know I have a billion more things to learn (and unlearn) in my life, so I’m not showing up here because I already have it figured out. I’m showing up because I know there is so much more to learn, share, connect on, & be honest about. And I’m inviting you to join me in showing up as genuinely as possible too. 💛
I shared a whole sneak peek album from Damon & Breannah’s gorgeous spring wedding over on my Facebook Page, so if you don’t already follow it, you’re gonna want to do that so that you can get a chance to see a little big what these two’s wedding Day was like! (Or there just might be a select few of the photos from this album in my stories highlights! 😉)
The world feels like it comes alive in the spring, but the truth is that it’s been alive all along, and we only just start seeing signs of that life in the spring. Leaves. Blossoms. Color. They’re all beautiful. But the trees that we see blooming now were actually just as alive then, in the winter, while they were inconspicuously preparing for this season. Obviously, as humans, we have way more than 4 figurative seasons in our lives, but maybe right now, even though it’s time for nature to bloom, you might find yourself in a different type of season. This might be one where you’re called to rest and regroup. To grow deeper roots. To care for yourself or your tribe in ways that are harder to measure or don’t always show up on the outside right away. Maybe it feels like you’re taking a step backward on the road to your dreams, but in the end it will give you the ability to go much further. Maybe this feels more like a winter to you. Remember that even when you look around and it feels like things are not coming to life in the timing you wanted, every year in nature, spring always come back around again. God is really good about not quitting on things even if they look bleak. Just because it might not be a colorful season for you right now doesn’t mean that you aren’t still very much alive and have a future that’s worth hoping for. And just like the seasons in nature that bring life and color, I believe that the seasons where life is beautiful and colorful will come back around for you too. 🌱
Happy #seniorsunday!🎓 This week was very full, but one that I am so thankful for every single day of. 💛 On Tuesday, I got to meet my honorary niece, Louraine Norma and what a little cutie she is! Seeing @kylejcarroll and @chelsealouraine be parents is simply amazing and I am so excited for their journey ahead.👨‍👩‍👧💕 On Thursday, we celebrated our little guy turning one!! It was such a special day and I’m so thankful for these 365 days we’ve gotten to live life with him on this earth! It was also really interesting and reminiscent and introspective for me though, since I’ve never celebrated anyone’s birthday before that I actually gave birth to. #weird. We had a great birth experience but of course, it was a major life event, and really interesting to reflect on the highs and lows of becoming a mother a year later. On Friday I photographed my second wedding of 2019! An incredibly sweet couple who were a joy to work & celebrate with! Their wedding party were wonderful as well, and included Carita from @capturethemoment_weddings as Matron of Honor! She was the one who recommended me to the bride and groom and I am so grateful to have been able to play a role in Bre & Damon’s wedding day! 💛 On Saturday I was a second shooter for a fellow #fortwaynephotographer, @nataliecarusodesign! I always love getting to work with other local photographers because #communityovercompetition 🙌🏻 TODAY was a “catch up on sleep, watch my church livestream from home, & venti-iced coffee” kind of day. This week was definitely one for the books, and even though I definitely needed a day to catch up from it all, I’m grateful for every part of it. Monday, I’m ready for ya. ✌🏻
