Go Behind The Scenes at a Newborn Session at LOCPS

We love seeing tiny little newborns at our home studio!

We’ve been hopping since November, welcoming eight of our tiniest clients - including a set of twins - to the studio…not to mention that we are getting ready to welcome another little guy on Monday this week on his seventh day on the planet. These are some of Amy’s favourite sessions, getting in all her baby snuggles before they go home…

At some point, in what probably started as a way to look busy during these sessions, I started playing around with shooting video of the process of a newborn session. A newborn baby can take a bit of time to get settled and sleeping deeply, and, well, there’s only so much that I can do as a man in those circumstances!

Above is my first attempt at capturing all the love and care that abounds during the shoot, both from the new parents and us as photographers. I hope you enjoy.

What does a photographer do for their own Business Headshot?

For the past number of years, a large portion of our commercial business at Left of Centre Photography Services has been Corporate Business Headshots. Increasingly, when speaking to these customers, the trend we've noticed is that their prime intended usage of these portraits has been for their LinkedIn profiles - for a variety of reasons and purposes, but all verbalize recognition of the fact that their online presence could use a more polished, professional look.

As specialists in creating these images, we always start with a simple question for a Business Headshot - what business are you in?

While we are all about breaking the rules, sometimes it’s better to slightly bend them. A great headshot will help you stand out in your field of expertise without looking like you are in a different industry! Someone in the financial field should probably not look like an artist...

So, for our business photos, we think we can get away with being a bit different...a little Left of Centre, if you will!

These photos were taken in our comfortable home-based studio as a quick brand-refresh, to be used on our various social channels. Our brand has always been about the two of us - the team we provide in all aspects of image creation, and the fun we have doing it!

New Year, New Image...Corporate Headshots with an eye to your brand

I can’t believe we are already a week into February! If the rest of the year is going to be anything like January it will be 2020 before I know it! 

Even with the absolute frigid weather we’ve been having here in Ontario, Canada, our studio has been heating up! This is our busiest time of year with Corporate Headshots, new business ventures and complete image overhauls! The New Year seems to spark a certain amount of change and reinvention in people, and it’s always exciting to be a part of that change and to help people with the vision of what they want to be, create, and exude. Imagery is the perfect way to tell your story, stand out, and make people stop and listen. 

While going through our headshot images I came across a great session we did this past summer. I decided to post them so we can all think of warmer times! Chelsea wanted a new business headshot, but she didn’t stop there - she wanted to capture a variety of lifestyle images representing her new health business. These images were a big part of her marketing plan, and intended to be featured all over her new website. The best part was that we were able to fulfill her wish list all in our home studio, kitchen and backyard!

Follow us on instagram, facebook and twitter to see what we have been up to with recent sessions and day to day activities! Stay warm!!!
