Head Shots Done By A Professional Orange County Photographer Can Help You Get The Job You Want

There are a large number of reasons people hire an Orange County photographer. Among these are weddings, family reunions, senior class pictures, graduations, and even holiday pictures. One of the more overlooked reasons however is the professional head shot. Individuals with high profile jobs, or those seeking to land such a job will need to make a great first impression and a picture to accompany a resume. First impressions mean everything in today's business world and a professional head shot can put a friendly and professional looking face to a great resume and land you the job you want.

Photography By Treasured Moments can help you get the headshot that helps make that first impression great.

The majority of Orange County photographers you'll encounter offer some sort of service related to professional head shots but not all are fairly priced and not all photographers will be capable of taking the type of picture you need. Some photographers may have a style that produces only stiff looking images while others produce only generic and stereotypical head shots, devoid of emotion and mood. In order to impress those whom will be responsible for your hiring will be looking for not only a professional looking smile, but one that says something about who you are and what type of employee you might be.

Carol Bridges has even done head shots for celebrity OC Housewife Vicki Gunvalson.

For this reason alone it's a good idea to seek out and interview with as many Orange County photographers as possible. Meeting with many professional photographers and reviewing their portfolios will allow you to determine if a particular photographer is right for your head shots. It is not uncommon for job seekers after head shots to hire those Orange County photographers who aim to capture more than just a picture. Photographers whose bodies of work shows personality as well as a professional and warm smile are hired more than all other photographers.

Individuals looking for great head shots will also want to seriously consider those Orange County photographers whom use creative backgrounds as well as lighting. More expressive individuals will even sometimes request backgrounds or locations that say something about them on a professional and personal level. Being able to convey such things through a photograph and to a prospective employer can only increase the chances of not just an interview but landing a job as well.

Finding and reviewing photographers who offer head shot services has never been easier either as most Orange County photographers have some sort of online presence which usually includes a virtual portfolio. You can now search for a photographer online, review their portfolio from the comfort of your own home, and even schedule a session through their website. This is real time saver for those who need to spend more time looking and preparing for work and less time looking for a photographer.

Orange County Holiday Photographs: A Fantastic Gift Idea


With Halloween just behind us and the holidays looming just mere weeks away people have turned their attention to the upcoming season. Many have already begun shopping for gifts, decorations, and some have begun planning their holiday parties. The final weeks of the year often pass quickly and people are often left wondering where it went. This is especially true of those who have a difficult time discerning what gifts to by for loved ones.

Finding the Perfect Gift is Easy! Family Portraits Are Perfect for the Holiday Season!

One gift holiday shoppers might want to consider is holiday photographs. Many Orange County photographers have special promotions happening during the weeks that precede the holidays in an effort to give customers an opportunity to get family portraits done at a reasonable price. Some of these photographers also throw in a number of perks to further entice Joe and Jane shopper. These perks sometimes include flexible pricing and customizing of photo packages as well as an in studio Santa Claus for the children to visit and photograph with. Some Orange County photographers even welcome family pets into the fold for photographs adding a little something extra to holiday photographs.

Treasured Moments Photography Will Gladly Include Your Favorite Family Pet in Your Portraits!

Many consumers take advantage of these perks and special promotions as the holidays are a popular time to have family portraits taken and have holiday cards made. In fact many families come specifically for holiday cards and then send them out as or include them with other holiday gifts. Holiday cards are especially popular with people who have family members living far from their home. Family that is unable to attend holiday gatherings due to being separated by great distances enjoy receiving holiday cards immensely. These cards can be kept as keepsakes by not only those who receive them but by the family who orders the photo shoot as well.

With the economy being what it is and with many people operating on exceedingly tight budgets many are struggling trying to find a meaningful gifts at an affordable price. A photo shoot with an Orange County photographer will provide people in this type of situation with an opportunity to purchase a large number of photographs and/or holiday cards that can be both a gift for many people as well as a family keepsake to be treasured for a lifetime. Many photographers fill their calendars quickly however during this busy season and those who wait until the last minute to book a session often find themselves out of luck and out of time. Booking a holiday photo shoot weeks or even months in advance is always wise and some Orange County photographers even offer discounts for booking early.

Choosing A Great Photographer

Orange County photographers are a dime a dozen these days and each and everyone one of them attempts to outdo their competitors by offering specials on photo packages, pricing, and location shoots. This can make choosing a photographer somewhat difficult when the time comes for family portraits, senior photographs, child photography and even pet photography. The old saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies to the world of photography though it's not always cost that determines what type of images you ultimately end up with. There are a number of things you as the consumer can do to identify great photographers and to determine if a particular photographer is right for you. Remembering these things when looking for a suitable photographer will help you find the right one.

Packages Available - The first thing people might take notice of is just how expensive or inexpensive a particular photographers packages are. While price plays a part in determining whether or not you hire a photographer there's more to focus on here than the actual pricing. When you're reviewing photo packages it's important to find out whether or not a photographer is willing to be flexible with their packages. Most successful Orange County photographers allow their clients to add to as well as omit portions of their packages so that they not only get exactly what they want but can afford what they're getting as well. Hiring a photographer who doesn't allow customization of their packages often means you'll miss out on an opportunity to get the pictures you want.



Portfolio - Asking for samples of a photographers work should be a no brainer but believe it or not there are those out there that hire people without ever having sampled their work. A photographers portfolio tell you everything you to need to know about their style, experience, and overall ability. Looking through their portfolio might also yield pictures that you like in terms of location, lighting, etc. You can then express interest in that particular type of image and ask that the photographer replicate that style for your images.

Options - There are many photographers who do nothing more than snap simple images be there family portraits or photographs of individuals. Even if a photographer happens to be exceptionally talented at what he/she does, with very limited or no options available you'll wind up with that photographers vision of your photographs. This is why it's important to ask every photographer what options they offer. Be sure and find out if a photographer offers different background options, filter options, and even location shoots. Simple questions like these can ensure that you get the photographer and images you want.

If you ask every photographer you interview with these questions chances are you're going to find one that fits your photography as well as your budgetary needs. You'll also find that you'll be much more satisfied with the quality of your photographs in the end which is important because photographs are usually considered family keepsakes by those that have them taken. Taking your time and doing thorough research on photographers will give you the photographer you've been looking for.

Orange County Photography: Family Portraits

Orange County Engagement Photography

Weddings are special moments where two people exchange vows and begin a new life together. Though there are specific months during the year where weddings tend to be more popular, couples become engaged all the time and the time between the engagement and wedding, though special and filled with fun and anticipation is fleeting and often passes in the blink of an eye. It's during the time a couple is engaged that there are dinners, parties, and gatherings held for the planning of the wedding and such.

Many couples view their engagement as being just as important as their impending wedding and as such often opt to have pictures taken to commemorate the event. Orange County photographer Carol Bridges is often called upon to capture images of engaged couples and knows just how important a time this is for the couples she works with. As such Carol offers a number of different Orange County engagement photography packages so that couples with budgets both big and small may have pictures taken of this precious time.

Some may seek to reserve a venue or club for a holiday party, while others may make reservations for a vacation or even holiday photographs. Regardless of what you want to reserve or book however the longer you wait to book something the less chance there is you'll get the day, time, and even prices you want. In some cases waiting too long can even result in you not getting what you want at all.

She emphasizes this as a professional photographer because she knows just how fast booking are taken up and how much demand there is for holiday photography. "There are only so many hours in a day, and so many people I can shoot during the day. Individuals and families that procrastinate often believe they needn't worry and can secure a last minute booking with my studio in the midst of December, though this is nearly impossible" says Orange County photographer Carol Bridges.

Carol also states that those who book holiday photos far in advanced often have more options available to them. Clients will have the ability to pick from a wider variety of dates, times, locations, packages, etc. when they book early. The Orange County photographer regularly sees clients begin booking holiday photos around this time of year, the end of the traditional summer season.

Orange County Photographer Gives To Charity

Orange County photographer Carol Bridges was involved with the Raise Foundation charity, a charity which aims to stop the cycle of child abuse through education, advocacy, community collaboration, and comprehensive services. The charity is beginning a new national campaign which they call "This Side Up" which aims to make people aware that babies should sleep only on their backs and in their cribs. This particular program caught Carol's attention because the cause is one Carol fervently supports and has a passion for.

Carol agreed to work with the charity at no charge in hopes that her actions would lead to further exposure for the Raise Foundation. The Orange County photographer was asked to take pictures of babies lying on their backs, an obvious reference to the cause which she and the charity hope will be used to garner more attention for the cause.

Need a Massage??

Hi Everyone, this blog has nothing to do with photography but everything to do with feeling great!! As you can imagine, I carry alot of equipment on my shoulders during sessions and also spend alot of time on the computer in photoshop. Well yesterday after my Le Tip of Coto De Caza networking meeting, I had the opportunity to have a massage by Marla Goodrum. Her company is "SportsKneads". Her website is www.sportskneads.com. She is so great at massage. I told her that I have had many massages in my day, but they are the equivalent to the "mow and blow" gardner, and Marla is the specialist!!!! Not only does she do massage but stretches your muscles out too. She is careful to be sure that you are not hurting more after the massage then before. I have had massages that turned into headaches later due to too much pressure being applied during the massage.
Please visit Marla for the ultimate experience in massage! Also visit www.letipofcotodecaza for other great resources.

Orange County Destination Wedding Photography

People choose to celebrate weddings in a wide variety of different ways. For some couples it's a quiet and private affair, for other it might be a huge celebration and a gathering of friends and family from all over the world.

You'll find a professional photographer at nearly every wedding that's held in a more traditional setting however not all photographers offer services that allow them travel to the special destination you've chosen for your wedding. Those that do offer such services generally charge a great deal more than they do for their normal or basic wedding packages. This can make finding an Orange County destination wedding photographer difficult.

The five heroes all received award statues, a Bell Tower Foundation pen, a photo, and gift card in honor of their courageous acts.

"These people are part of the fabric of our community" stated Orange County photographer Carol Bridges. "We all met in 2008 and they touched my heart." The winners where photographed in Carol's Orange County photography studio where many of the presenters and winners wept.
