No one really looks forward to getting their head shot done. In fact I think it might be a day most folks dread. So I am always thrilled when I can put a person at ease. I crack a few lame jokes, ask about their kids, stuff like that.

And then on some rare and mysterious occasions I find a person who feels entirely comfortable and laughs easily. They crack jokes and smile right at me. I just can’t help but snap some full smile shots. Because, In my opinion, a face is most wonderful when it is laughing!

I am constantly looking for new and interesting places to shoot in Regina.

Last fall I went to a Corb Lund concert at the Casino Regina. My husband and I drove up to the top of the parkade just east of the Casino and when i stepped out of of our vehicle I couldn’t help but notice the great city scape! Since then I have been itching to take pictures up there and last week I finally got my chance. Check out the view from the parkade!

I just got confirmation that the Downtown Brewed Awakening will be hosting LF Photography for a pop up head shot studio! I am thrilled. Stay tuned for the date!

Last night I was at an event with my sister. I grabbed my phone, tapped the camera and held it out to take a selfie of the two of us. She immediately recoiled and tried to hide exclaiming, “I hate selfies. Stop taking those when I am around.”
Of course I snapped the picture anyways. Neither of us looked our best but the event was documented. I then assured her I would help her with her selfie aversion. I held out the phone in front of us and made her try several different smiles. We found a 75% smile where here teeth were showing but her cheeks weren’t squishing her eyes that looked fantastic on her!
Then we worked on the head tilt. I like to tilt my head down slightly so you can’t see my nostrils. I instructed her to do the same. And then snap! I took the picture. It is a bit blurry but look how great she looks!

When I began my business I got some great advice from a photographer friend. She said, “being nice is half the business. Even if you aren’t that good, if you are nice then people will come back to you.”
Back in those days, I really wasn’t that good but I was nice and that really did count for something. 12 years later I like to think I am good and nice.
