Here are some recent pix from a high shool senior portrait session in downtown San Juan Capistrano. We had such a blast meeting and photographing Kayleigh, who is graduating next week!!!

We love, love, love props and accessories that show off who you are... so for those of you coming in for your sessions- make sure to bring your favorite things and let us capture you with them.
Congratulations Kayleigh!!!! Can't wait for you to see the rest!

I had such a great time meeting Jaclyn, Jim & Sweet Little Baby C at their newborn portrait session this week! Like many of my newborns recently, Miss C came camera ready... and fiesty as ever! At just 11 days old she was so alert and her "little" personality was shining right through! I just had to get these sneak peeks off before the end of the weekend! I was so happy to have the opportunity to try out a few new backdrops and fun new props at the studio!! I've been waiting for a new baby girl to come through... we seem to be having a spring of little baby boys... with 2 more coming my way!
Jaclyn & Jim- Enjoy your sneak peek! Can't wait for you to see the rest!!! xoxo Kristin
I can't lie, I think this is a personal fav...


Momma Love...

When Gramma Cindy told me that Sir Baron was about to embark on his first big trip across the world, I knew I wanted to do a Vintage Suitcase themed photo shoot for his 9 month old baby portraits. Besides being just about the cutest thing in this whole wide world, Little B was an absolute champ for his photo shoot. And although it took him a little bit to figure out if he liked Mark's continuously growing beard, the two were quickly becoming close buddies by the time we said good bye for the day.
Gramma Cindy and Mommy Blaire did such an awesome job keeping the little Sir entertained with songs and squeekies while I snapped away. Yay Mommy and Grandma!!! :-)
We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and photograph Little B! We can't wait to show Mommy and Daddy the rest of the session images!! But for now, enjoy this quick sneak peek!!!!
FIRST STOP, THE ROYAL WEDDING....

MOMMY, I'M ALL PACKED.

I'M TAKING ALL MY BUNNIES WITH ME!

B IS FOR BARON AND FOR BEARS.

NAP TIME.

BARON & MARK GETTING ACQUAINTED.

We had a total blast yesterday photographing Laura and Steve's Engagement photo shoot! What an awesome couple!! We love our engagement sessions because it really gives us a chance to get to know our bride and groom before the wedding, when there is more time to have fun and play with them! We had so much fun getting to know Laura and Steve and to meet all of their cute kitties!! Although the spent most of the time hiding from us under the bed, Tidus (pictured below) and Grimm did "allow" us a few photos. I don't think they're ready for Hollywood yet. Thanks Steve and Laura for letting us spend the afternoon with you, rearranging furniture and photographing you in your lovely home! Enjoy your sneak peek! Can't wait to show you the rest! Laura, you looked beautiful!!!

Steve and Laura love Tim Burton, so we used much more dramatic lighting for the photos taken inside, and even incorporated a few of their collectibles into some of the shots.

TIDUS.... enough said.

The architecture in this shot reminds me of something out of Beetlejuice...


I think Steve thought I was crazy when I directed him in this next shot. LOL I hope he can see my vision now in the finished product. LOL Steve??

Love this one... the lighting was perfect!


SO SWEET!!!

Mark and I were blessed to spend Sunday at the beach photographing the wedding of Ben and Heather Alms. It has been such a joy meeting and getting to know them over the past few months. They have a beautiful daughter Madeleine, who we also just adore. The wedding was at the Surf n' Sand in Laguna Beach. Heather looked absolutely gorgeous!! Her hair and make-up were styled by Nicole and Sheryl from David Salon in Costa Mesa.
We wish Ben and Heather many many years of love and happiness together. Thank you so much for allowing us be a part of and to capture your special day!! So much LOVE to you both!!!! Here are a few sneak peeks...


GETTING READY!!

I LOVE THIS ONE... what a face!?!!

She was SOOO good all day!!

Having mucho experience in the world of headshots, there is one thing I can affirm: a good headshot = good business!
As an actor, one of the most important things you must have is a good headshot. I've gone through dozens, and they've changed and evolved in style just as much as I have in my experiences. Although updating your headshot every year or two isn't as common of a practice outside the world of hollywood, I do highly recommend having a current headshot that best presents who you are and what you look like at this time. (not a photo taken 15 years ago that you are still trying to pass off as being current... i'm being funny and serious at the same time here...). I can't tell you how many times I have met someone, whether casting a show or meeting someone after just seeing a photograph that they've posted online and they look absolutely nothing like the person in the photo.
In business we are constantly networking and connecting with new people. And with today's technology most everyone has a website or some form of online business communication. People like to see who they are talking and working with. I don't know about you, but isn't it really nice when you go to someone's website or blog and find a well done, friendly, open and honest looking picture of the person you are looking to do business with?
Mark and I really focus on getting each of our clients to relax as much as possible and come ready to just be you. Our goal is to create an environment where you feel like you've just walked into the home of a dear close friend or are out grabbing a bite to eat with fellow co-workers and having a casual conversation... whatever makes you feel relaxed and not focused on "Oh my gosh, I'm getting my picture taken right now... aim I making that stupid face, ugh, I hate that face.... oh, I feel so fat today... I hope my hair didn't go flat... did I turn the coffee pot off...?????" If you are thinking it, we've heard it. And you know what, it's comforting to know that you are NOT alone!!
If you haven't had an update lately, have been thinking about getting a headshot taken, or have never had one taken... I definitely suggest doing this for yourself. No matter what your line of work. Please don't hesitate to shoot us an email: info@ingracephotography.com or give us a call at 949.481.4114 with any questions about headshots, or if you'd like to book a session.
inGRACE photography specializes in actors headshots and commerical business headshots. We are available to shoot at our studio or on location. We can also come right to your office and photograph you and/or your employees right in your work environment or set up our lights and backdrop for studio shots!
Since I've to make such a big deal about these very important pictures... LOL... I will give a $50 CREDIT to anyone who gives me a call in the next month to book their session!!!

HERE ARE A FEW SHOTS TAKEN FROM A RECENT HEADSHOT SESSION with the beautiful and talented Katie Louise Adams, who also happens to be one of most bestest friends and just a truly inspiring woman!! These were headshot updates for Katie, and what I just LOVE about working with her is her willingness and humiltity to just be herself. She comes to have fun and create! And as you can see from her photos, the results are just stunning. She makes my job so easy because I just get to step back, click away and capture her "doin her thang"...





Get 2011 really rolling by BOOKING A SESSION for your NEW HEADSHOTS!
You'll be SO glad you did!
