Pageant Photographer Olympia

Pageant Photographer Olympia based, we do headshots within studio and outdoor settings. I love doing pageant photography for my clients, I even love throwing in the family occasionally.

You never know when you might need those photos of your hubby or puppy!

Why a white background?

This really helps things stay crisp and sharp. White backgrounds seem to work best because then you can have pageant retouchers do alterations easily. You never know how you want your poster to look so its best to have a “neutral” background so the retoucher can adapt to your needs more easily.

Why two locations?

Doing studio shots is a great way to control the lighting and key to getting “catchlights” in the eyes. Those little white spots in the eyes really make a person sparkle and keeps the viewers attention on the image.

Going outdoors…why wouldn’t we do this? It adds variety. Gives one something extra to post about. Is a gateway to connecting with other supporters that might not connect with a studio type shot. Gives you an opportunity to do something different and interact with a different environment. Getting ready for a photo session is a lot of work why not get more mileage out of it? Honestly for me we live in a great state, we should always include the beauty of it.

Why include your significant other?

It gives you a chance to change into a different outfit. Gets more mileage out of that investment of time doing a session. Brings out your natural smile very easily. Every time CJ’s husband walked into the studio area she glowed from inside out, that’s really the main reason 😀

How to prepare for your pageant session:

• Bring three outfits, max.
• Get makeup and hair done by the professional you trust.
• Bring any shoes or accessories you may need.
• Bring extra safety pins, hair pins, hair spray.
• Ahead of time send me images you love so we can get the poses down lickety split and get the lighting you really want.
