Palm Beach Photographer | Promotional Pictures of yours truly ....
Gahhhh!!! So cliche, but I HATE having my picture taken. I can pose you, no matter what body type or features you're rockin' but I can NOT pose myself. /sigh. Okay, now that I had my tantrum.
Along with the new branding I am also getting all new material printed and I've included a section about me. First, I'm horrible at writing about myself. Second, I'm horrible at getting my picture taken. So I asked my darling friend Eric to photograph me today. Eric taught me a lot about photography and now he's a *retired* photographer so I was stoked when he agreed to do this for me. I wanted to kill two birds with one stone so I figured I would bring my mini man along and get some pictures of us together. I've never had professional pictures taken of us together. HYPOCRIT! Yes, I know. I guess I'm so critical of myself because I do this professionally.
Anyway, we battled with drive-bys, wind, wanting to do sun flares, and the heat. Oh and we fed a stray kitten. But I'm happy with the outcome. But just for the record, if you ever go to Forest City.... don't dress like me. You'll get weird looks.
PS- If you've followed me on Facebook you know I am now offering a discount to tattooed/modified brides. I am tattooed, so I can get away with profiling! And I think women who are tattooed are beautiful. The weddings of modified couples are always a TON of fun, which adds to my reason to wanting to build my portfolio with expressive and unique individuals. Email me about the details if you're interested.
PPS- I'm setting up a day for a mini pin-up marathon. I use the term pin-up loosely. I'm not setting up the typical sets. It's going to be hot rods, hot chics (inked preferably), and hot outfits. This will not be a boudoir/pin up type session. I'm working on finding a make up artist who can do pin-up styles. Email me for details and to put your name on the list. Slots are on a first come first serve basis.
So on to the photos! (Hair & Make up by Katie Cotton, Photography by Eric Mack, Lighting by Eric + Gavin, Editing by Me.)
And heres some of my crew! LOL
My FAILED attempt at a sun flare!
Palm Beach Photographer | New Material
A few days ago I got this crazy idea that I should rebrand. I say crazy because I literally JUST rebranded back in November. I liked it at first, but I didn't feel like it went well with my personality or my style of shooting. As I previously blogged about, I am relocating to Palm Beach next month and I felt that this would be a perfect time to change the look of everything. I figured, I have to reorder everything to update the address and phone number so why not do it all!
I designed my logo and after enlisting in the help of a few good friends, we went with the color scheme and logo version you're seeing now! Green and purple, dots and lines, and some sort of splotchy thing. I feel like its fun, fresh, clean, modern, and definitely more my style!
Because I'm on a short time frame, with the move approaching in 19 days, I purchased a marketing kit from Go4ProPhotos that included all the templates you see below. I spent the entire day plugging in my information, new colors & logo, and creating a kit for weddings and one for portraits. Although it's a lot of polka dots, I really like it! I can't wait to get it all printed and put together hard copies of my welcome kits.... and I can't wait to hear what everyone else thinks of it. So let 'er rip! I want to know the good, bad, and the ugly!
Palm Beach Wedding Photographer | Summer Wedding Specials!
Do you know someone that's getting married and they haven't been able to find a photographer yet? We all know the economy is tough right now and planning a wedding means pinching pennies. I am a firm believer that photography is one of THE most important parts of a wedding, not because I am a photographer but because I feel that spending your money on everything else isn't worth it if you don't have quality photographs to remember it.
REFERRALS ::: If you refer someone who books their wedding with Mirrored Images, you will get $50 CASH! Or you can be on the street team and get discounted session fee's and free products!! Read more here.... I'm also offering finders fee's to those who refer portrait sessions to me! Ask me about it :)

Flush mount wedding albums (6x6, 9x9, or 12x12).

Palm Beach Photographer | Relocating! {be on the street team}
I have mixed feelings about this post. Everyone knows I love Florida, I love visiting my friends and family and of course I love photographing new people in different locations. But, a large portion of me also loves the upstate. I enjoy working as a paramedic and having my photography business. My job gives me the opportunities and time I need to be able to run my business and maintain my employment. I love the locations I've found in the upstate to photograph at, and I LOVE my clients and friends who have made my hobby into a small business that I adore.
I am moving back to Palm Beach! I think my style of photography fits in much better down there and I can't wait to see how business goes once I'm back!!
As of July 10th I will be available to photograph in Palm Beach County and its surrounding areas on a regular basis. I will continue to offer photographic services to the Upstate and weddings will not incur a travel fee. I have two weddings in SC in September, so I will be in the area from September 2-12 and will be available for sessions during the week!
I'm going to put my heart and sole into making this business a full time career, so I need your help. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising. I need enthusiastic and personable individuals to be on my street team. What's a street team? What do you get out of it? Well, first you apply for the position. You will receive a discounted session fee and you will PLASTER your images all over your Facebook, blog, twitter, livejournal(does anyone still use that?), flickr, and any other social media you use and you will INSIST your friends and family get their images done by Mirrored Images. For each booked session you will get points, if you get enough points you will earn FREEEEEEEE prints from your session (you know, the one you plastered all over the internet). If I book a wedding that you've referred to me you'll get even cooler things like canvas wraps, a DVD of images, or even a custom made album! If your interested in applying please email the following information to shootme@mirroredimages.net

Don't let the questions above scare you, everyone has the ability to spread the word about Mirrored Images... it just depends on how bad you want your free products!
This is a scary move, but I have a wonderful support system and I'm looking forward to meeting and photographing all the beautiful people that Palm Beach has to offer!
Palm Beach Newborn Photographer | Baby Karigan {5 days new}
I had perfect timing with this trip to Florida. Karigan was born just before I arrived in Palm Beach so at 5 days new we set up a newborn session for the lil lady. She is so precious and loved. She has an older sister and two older brothers, no doubt she'll be a spoiled lil thang. We played with hats, headbands, boxes, and even some kitchen decor. I'm looking forward to the next session with the whole family :)
Palm Beach Wedding Photographer | Trash The Dress {Mr & Mrs Parker}
Romy and Dallas just celebrated their 6th year wedding anniversary and as a gift for each other, it was picture time! After 6 years and 2 kids Romy still looks amazing in her wedding dress. We shot their trash the dress at the beach, where we drew a crowd of on lookers and even a few people who were trying to get IN the picture with them. We were expecting rain from the south and we could see it down the beach, so we rushed through the session but managed to get some sexy and romantic images of them.
Here's to many more years of your marriage and love!
Palm Beach Infant Photographer | Ella {3 months}
Ohhhhh this baby! She smiles all day long and as soon as the camera comes out she's a diva! No smiles, but we'll try for one next time. We took Ella to the beach for her first outdoor photo session and then we went back to mom and dad's to finish the session in doors. I just love her tutu! Mom made Ellas headband which matched perfectly with the tutu.
West Palm Boudoir Photographer | Valentines Day Sneak Peaks {part two}
Again with the short and sweet blogs. I promise to be more entertaining and witty once I have some sleep.
I photographed these beautiful ladies on Sunday for the WPB Valentines Day Special. It's amazing what the finished product will do for a gals self esteem. They turned this shoot out and made modeling look like a walk in the park. I gave them both very little direction and only as needed.
My beautiful friend Michelle (the pierced goddess ;) ) was kind enough to host me during my visit to Florida and I thank you for your hospitality!
(I have one last date scheduled for a multi client booking(aka discount) - Jan 30th in Greenville, SC. Click here for the info. If you are interested in booking a boudoir session and can't attend this date please email me for rates, I am available to shoot in Palm Beach Florida in March {dates TBD}.)
Here's a few to get your mouths watering....
