“I can not press enough how powerful images have on your online experience.  When people are searching for a companion online, the images are the first thing they based their decision on.  Your images should be up to date and showcase your personality and interest.  It’s important to express positive energy throughout your session.  No one wants to be around someone who is unhappy or to serious all the time.  And no one wants to meet someone who looks nothing like their profile.  Save yourself the headache and others and let’s be present.  Maybe you love that image of yourself from 10 years ago, but trust me today you have more to offer.   We are always changing and getting older.  Embrace and celebrate who you are today because that is who you are now.

Joey Harrison’s Surf Club is No More

Joey_Harrison's_Surf_Club_theridgewoodblog

We are very sad to see the loss of a Jersey Shore icon , Surf Cub .

I saw this picture on Jersey Joel’s post last night & it struck me for a reason. I spent every summer working & playing there from the time I was 9 years old. I vividly remember walking on that beach for the 1st time after my Dad bought the place. I have all kinds of memories there, great, good, & bad. That’s Life. I personally would love to see the place rebuilt, but that decision is not up to me. My family has been moved by the all the pictures shared by people we know & don’t know. We miss summers there terribly and I personally made my livelihood there, working with some very creative people to do some really cool entertainment events like SurfStock, The Flying Mueller Bros, Saturday Night Disco & Sunday Jam Parties. My fondest memories are from the Teen Nights when my sons were old enough to run them and work on the themes with me. We were all so proud of the place and my Father for creating such a loving & wonderful work place to be in. I use to laugh to myself when people would say you should remodel and make the place more like this place or that place. They didn’t get it. It wasn’t about what the place looked like, it was about the 3 generations of families and beach/club goers who came there. So I guess we’ll see what happens from here. God Bless.Joey Jr.

Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

Portraits for Business and Lifestyle

In today’s modern age with all the social media:  facebook, linkedin, twitter, Instagram and so on its critical that we showcase ourselves as we wish the world to see us.  People tap into your life through these social media websites and peer into your world.  I offer Business and Lifestyle photo sessions to showcase the way you want to be viewed.  Its a natural photojournalist approach that has a modern contemporary feel to it.  No one wants to see overly posed photographs that appear to pretentious, but rather natural and artistic photographs.  Images say it all.  If you are running your own business, looking for employment, getting back into the dating scene, or simply longing for images of you with your loved ones for memory keepsakes this is perfect solution.

A simple headshot might seem like something anybody could do, but there are a lot of nuances that people don’t think about. What kind of lighting do you want? What should be in the background? Do you want to present yourself in formal attire or in something more casual? Should the image show you working or just smiling at the camera? These are all questions that a skilled photographer can answer, and  be able to put you in just the right position to get the perfect shot.

If you have a business to promote, a good headshot can give your company a personal touch by giving customers a chance to identify with the person you choose to be the face of your business. If you are searching for a job, you can use a commercial picture to draw more attention to your application, and give potential employers an idea of whom they will be hiring. In any of these scenarios, having a commercial photographer on hand will help you make these decisions and properly promote yourself. You will be able to set just the right tone for anything you want to do.

I offer on location and or in studio sessions. Suggested packages are listed on our website:  www.ArtChickPhotography.com – Call Kristine 215-650-7052
