Branding and Headshot Events!

Branding and Headshot Events!

Updated and professional headshots are an integral part of today’s digital landscape.

It is essentially your business card and digital handshake in a world where most first impressions are done online. I suggest hosting a branding and headshot event to ensure you have high-quality images. I’m always a bit alarmed with the amount of professionals out there using a dim lit cell phone image as their bio picture on a website! If you want to be taken seriously in any profession, you need to start with a professional headshot.

What is a headshot event?

There are two types of events –

For the below ReeceNichols event – agents were given the opportunity to book a mini or full headshot session on a designated date. These Branding and headshot events are often held in a modern and bright new build listing held by one of the agents. The home was the perfect spot to capture more branding type photos that put these agents in their work environment.

These are great for any industry or company looking to offer their employees a professional but also affordable headshot option.

Full headshots sessions are 15 minutes and allow you the time to also change wardrobes. You can have many poses and locations within the location. A mini headshot is 5 minutes and gives you a fresh, updated image.

The 2nd option is to hire me for a set number of hours and create more of an open house event. These are usually held in a venue, studio or office space and either taken within the space or a backdrop. Companies will often include mimosas and breakfast items or wine and cheese so it is a fun and laidback environment and fun networking event as well. The result is a fun networking event but also the company now has a more uniform look across their business website and marketing material.

Why host an event?

For some people, getting your picture taken is like going to the dentist. It is the last thing they want to do and they feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. These events create an chill atmosphere that puts people at ease. Plus, I’d like to think my fun personality and years of experience help make it painless as well. 😉

Did I mention these are great for networking? 😉 It allows people to take their photo at their discretion while also mingling with fellow employees and friends!

How do I book an event and what is the cost?

To inquire about an event please email me at photography@andreanigh.com or text me at 816-695-6075. Since there are few options for these events, we need to determine what best fits your needs so I can provide you with a personalized quote. The cost depends on whether we are doing a set hourly rate or per headshot.

I also offer headshots and branding sessions as a stand-alone service on location or in studio. Please inquire for more info about branding and headshot sessions!

The below event was for ReeceNichols Real Estate. Held at one house on one date with many spots through the morning and afternoon. – The Overland Park office

The below event was a mimosas and breakfast headshot event for VLM advertising agency, the group chatted and mingled for a few hours in the morning, while also grabbing an updated headshot.

Other headshot events have included – Happy hour and headshots where the client has provided wine and charcuterie for their employees while they mingled. These branding and headshot events are popular because they are also used as networking events for employees! Please inquire for more info! https://andreanigh.com/contact/

Spring family portraits at Meadowbrook park

I could feel the winter blues slip away during this spring family session with the Patzkowsky family! Meadowbrook park was the perfect Kansas backdrop for our early spring session and I really loved capturing their young and energetic connection.

The last of the sunlight drenched the tall grasses and rolling hills and created the most beautiful soft light for our shoot! I love spring sessions as you see the earth come alive again and signal a fresh start! Spring family portraits are an excellent way to capture these moments. If you think fall is the best time for family photos, don’t sleep on Spring and Summer! Often times, you have the location to yourself, the temps are still cool in the spring. The flowers start to bloom quickly so consider booking spring family portraits to avoid the crowds. Thank you Patzkowsky family for a lovely session, I truly enjoyed getting to know your sweet family and capturing your spring family portraits!

Kansas wildflower session at Heritage park – The Sweeney family

Late summer shoots filled with wild sunflowers and the most laid back, adorable family…yes please! I loved getting to capture this lovely family of 5 during their Kansas wildflower session. These 3 boys made things interesting but they were so captivated by all the buzzing insects around the flowers and I loved capturing their curiosity.

These might be some of my favorite sun drenched photos with all the flowers and genuine connections shared between this family. It’s not always easy for parents to just let their kids run, play with bugs and be free during a photo shoot because you have an idea in your mind about how a shoot should look. However, when families can allow themselves the space and freedom to play and have fun during a session, like this one, it always generates the most genuine and heartfelt images.

I especially love the sun drenched photos with the youngest son and his mom and or the 2 older boys running through the sunflowers. These are the moments you will remember and the facial expressions you want to engraved in your memory. Thank you Sweeney family for a wonderful Kansas wildflower session, I truly loved getting to capture your family!

Angelina – Vibrant KC senior session

Eek, I love these so much. There is so much variety in Angelina’s downtown senior session that speaks to each part of her personality. This vibrant KC senior session offers airy rooftop plaza vibes to moody rose pictures and they all showcase her bright yet sophisticated style. I also love when we are able to incorporate personal touches like the train pictures that are part of her dad’s locomotive repair company. It’s actually illegal to take pictures on trains on train tracks (on live tracks) so getting this kind of access was so fun and not something you get to do much as a photographer. Angelina’s smile is not only contagious but she was such a light to be around. Her positive energy made our shoot so fun and I loved capturing her many sides all over downtown KC. We jumped from The Nelson Atkins are museum, to the Spanish steps on the plaza, a plaza rooftop, north KC where her dad’s company is and ended near the KC museum Colonnade. It’s a little off the beaten path but a fun hidden secret in KC – https://kcparks.org/places/the-colonnade/

It’s important to me that we capture all the things that embody someone’s personality which is why I love this session so much. Downtown offers everything from vintage train cars to Spanish architecture, it truly has something to offer everyone.

Congrats on senior year Angelina, you are such a wonderful young lady and have so much to look forward to! Keep shining your light! Check out all my recent sessions here – https://andreanigh.com/category/seniors/
