Behind-the-Scenes at My Photo Shoot!

by on ‎03-21-2014 04:57 PM

About every five years, we get our “head shots” taken. These are photos that are used to send to our adoring fans (okay, my mom and her friends) and are used all over for publicity for QVC and on our website.


I have to be honest…its not usually something I enjoy. I’m happy just smiling at the camera, saying cheese, and moving on. But these photo shoots are HOURS and don’t always feel that natural in the way you are posed or in the things the crew tries to get you to do. The flip side is if you don’t really go for it, you’re not going to be happy with the end result. So, I realized that I needed to look at the experience in a different way and make the most of it. And you know what? It actually turned out to be a pretty great day and I’m excited about the photos! I thought you might like a little behind the scenes…so here’s a day in the life of me on photo shoot day!



It all starts with the creative story board, which contains ideas from the photography crew on what they’d like to capture.


 



WARDROBE! I brought in about 10 different outfits…these are some of my faves!


 



Trying to work it! Good thing my favorite 80’s music was blasting in the background!


 



I thought some of these shots might look corny…they turned out to be some of my favorites.


 



Thank goodness for my sweet friend and makeup artist, Deana. She makes me look flawless!



 


Looks like that’s a wrap!  


I’m not sure when you’ll start to see these new pictures pop up….but as soon as I get to take my first look at all of them and choose my favorites, I’ll be sure to share them with you!


Hope you have a great day….remember to smile!
