2010 Celebrity Oscar Gifting Suite in LA
I had the honor of presenting my work at a table at the Aesthetic Everything's Celebrity Oscar Gifting Suite to benefit the Rasual Butler Foundation. The foundation is not only raising money to help rebuild Haiti, but also raises money for rec centers and shelters for homeless kids that don't have a way out.
I met the most incredible people and am happy to share them with you here as well as what they had to say about the images I gifted to them.
"Wow Nikki - thanks for the beautiful pictures. You are spectacular!! BTW - your website and photo work is marvelous. I'm running photos on my radio site (a million plus listeners) and Facebook etc for my radio show! Again, thank you very, very much for your amazing talent!"

Headshot Photo Shoot Testimonial
"Nikki,
Thank you so much for taking my headshots. I have never had a headshot that I actually liked before. As a realtor, I can tell you it's been really nice to use a headshot that I can be proud of in marketing materials. And to have options?!? It's so exciting. You do amazing work! Thanks again."

Headshot Photo Shoot Testimonial
Nikki,
All I can say is WOW because I am speechless!!! The pictures from our photo shoot are beyond beautiful. I told you going in I'm a woman who hates to have professional photos taken because I am always disappointed. In the past if I could find one decent shot I was happy. Now all that's changed.
Nikki, all the pictures you snapped were beyond fabulous. When I first saw the cover page to your email that contained my picture gallery I didn't even recongize myself.
Just wanted to let you know how pleased I am. You are a pleasure to work with and next time I will actually look forward to our shoot.
Warmest regards,
Linda Franklin (New York, NY)

"I was so impressed with the work that Nikki did with my photos. I had a wonderful time at the shoot. I had never done a professional shoot before and I was a little nervous but Nikki made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. We had a great time! When I saw my photos, I felt for the first time in a very long time that I looked pretty in photos. I had such a major positive change in my self esteem that day. She does amazing work bringing out your true essence and creates beautiful & natural images. Nikki is such a brilliant artist!
Thank you Nikki!"

Love Is The Message!
This is one of my amazing clients Jelynne! I met Jelynne at a workshop not too long ago and we connected right away. Discussing both of our issues with being 'People Pleasers' and always available for others and not making time for what WE need and want. Taking full responisibiity of course and recognizing that we are the ones who have to change the habit of neglecting ourselves.
We decided to do just that! Setting the intentions to nurture ourselves, set aside time that we need to accomplish our dreams and to stop feeling so bad about setting boundries with others. Putting ourselves first so that we don't run ourselves down, and end up not able to help anyone.
We kept in touch and Jelynne hired me to do her headshots on one of my trips back to NYC. During the processing of the images from our shoot together, I came across this image and was floored. I have never seen anyone carry a bag saying 'I Love Me' and here it is showing up at her photo shoot walking so clearly in the background right after she declared that she would start loving herself more! I love how stuff like that works!! :o)
**BTW - Jelynne owns a restaurant called LITM which stands for 'Love Is The Message'. How wonderful! She was able to build a very successful restaurant from scratch and now she's giving back by teaching others to do the same. I can't tell you what she has in store, but it's BIG and you can check her out at www.restaurantfromscratch.com.

Does a picture REALLY say a thousand words?
Well, these are the 'BEFORE' part of her story so you tell me. :o)
Recently a dear friend of mine hired me to photograph her for her business and I was SO happy! Here's why, I know her and know how wonderful she is, how beautiful she is, and how much she has to offer her clients and the images she was using for her business didn't at all relay who SHE really is. They were just images that she had so she was using the best of what she had available.
It took her a while to decide and she was struggling with the investment of hiring me for a few reasons. One being that she'd had her picture professionally taken before and was not at all happy with the results and the other that she really didn't think it was worth it because she wasn't photogenic. Believe it or not, I hear these both a lot! Most of my clients think that they're not photogenic and then love the results after our shoot together. They're usually shocked like I waved my magic wand and all of a sudden they're photogenic. Which is completely true! ;o)
Ok, so not really true about the magic wand, BUT it is because this is what I do well and am an expert in. Please don't even think of hiring me to do your book keeping or cooking (and that's all I'm willing to share about what I'm NOT good at!).
The point is that when you find the right photographer (and there are plenty of amazing ones out there, you really need to focus on hiring the one for YOU) it IS completely worth the investment to have a few really unbelievable images of yourself. With this social media revolution, there's no hiding anymore! It is all about the photo and you want to make sure that you're sending the message YOU want to send and not leaving it up to interpretation. You really want to convey your true personality and expression in your images so that you're attracting more clients/customers.
Are you like sooooooo curious to see what a few of her images looked like in the 'AFTER' part of this story?? Quickly go to my blog to see a few! :o)
Thank you Lilia for allowing me to show your 'before' and 'after' story!!
Would you like to know my advice on hiring the right photographer?? You can read an article HERE that I wrote for a great website called Hip Slope Mama.

What impression does your social media image project about you?
Do you wish you had a great photo of yourself to display on Social Media sites like facebook and Linkedin?Do you wish you had a photo of yourself that revealed your true personality and gives others the exact impression you're trying to send out??
If you answered YES, then this is for YOU!
I love facebook and besides being able to re-connect with old friends from grade school and up, I use it to network for my business. Facebook is an amazing venue to use for your professional networking! In addition to building my business with facebook connections, I've been able to reach out and help other professionals with their business.
It doesn't take a professional photographer to know how critical it is to have a good photo to use for this type of social media. Your first impression is a visual one and most people want to look pleasant and personable in the images they use to network and build their business. Trust me on this! When I deliever headshots to my clients, there is a huge difference in the way they approach their business that increases their exposure in the market as well as their bottom line! Not to mention what it does to your confidence to have an amazing photo of yourself to use.
Mari Smith is a 'friend' of mine who is a master networker and bases her business on helping people utilize social media platforms to build their business. I know that she is like me and very selective when accepting a friend request from a stranger. She emailed me this link to an article she wrote addressing the importance of your profile photo. To reference her words from a portion of the article:
"A picture says a thousand words, would you agree? When you receive incoming Facebook friend requests, I'll bet the person's profile picture has a LOT of bearing on your decision to accept their invite or not. See, one of the great aspects of Facebook is the fact we have the opportunity for our face to show up throughout the platform."
There is also an interesting article on the psychology behind your profile photo written by Dr. BJ Fogg where he ends by saying "Your mugshot is the most important element on your Facebook Profile Page, even more important than your name." Click this link to read his entire article.
You don't have to hire a professional photographer to get a great photo of yourself for facebook (especially if you're not using it for your business like these clients of mine). It's all about getting the right angle for you and capturing your personality correctly so that you're sending the professional message YOU want to send and not what others interpret from an image of you.
Here are a few tips:
1- Stick your chin out a little:
People tend to lean back in photos and you'll get that dreaded double chin look if you do! So stick your chin out slightly to avoid that.
2- Lean forward:
By slightly leaning forward (it feels weird, but looks good in the photo) you look more approachable in your image.
3- Don't be too serious:
Most people tend to look mad or angry if they try to give a serious look, so if you want a more serious image or if you don't like your smile then think of something pleasant. I know it sounds strange, but I can tell in my clients eyes when I'm photographing them if they're feeling self concsious or trying to be serious by thinking of something serious. You at least want your eyes to smile or look lighter for a more serious image.
4- Try different compositions:
This can create a fun and more interesting photo than just the normal horizontal and verticle composition. See the images below for different looks that I give my clients. Try an angle, or really close up, or off centered to make your image more intersting!
So if you do want to give a better impression or have a better image of yourself to use, take a look at these as reference and then have a friend/spouse/someone you feel comfortable with take a bunch of shots to see what angle and composition you like best of yourself! Have fun!!
These are all clients of mine who hired me to photograph them so that they could put their best image forward in all of their web and print materials. And they are not models, I promise! Even though they look like they could be, just about all of them told me that they're not photogenic before our shoot together but loved thier photos after.
