The year was 2011 and we were on fire... creating and designing custom party collections!

When we were contacting by Andineka and her God mother with the idea to create party decoration for a "Life is a Gift" baby shower using the soft baby colors green and yellow. 

We jumped at the chance of creating these supplies and also assisting with the setup of the celebration. 

We began with custom invitations (a invitation always sets the tone for an event) 

Guest were welcomed as they walked through the door with a custom Life is a Gift Banner

Welcome table was right inside to sign guest book and pick up a game sheet. 

Classic baby shower games were played including unscramble the words, word find and ice ice baby!

The Importance of a Great Head Shot Portrait

So we've decided to share a few of our thoughts with you in regards to Head shot photos for yourself and business.. 

Quick Question: 

What are you images saying about you…

Friendly* Nice* Funny* Serious* Professional* Relaxed* Mean*Beach Bum etc…

When you visual look at someone or something you already register in your mind the type of  person this is whether true or not true about the person and this same holds true with  your visual presence on your website or social media platform.

Do yourself a favorite and take inventory of your visual content on your platform and make a judgement on what you think these images speak for yourself.

Are you professional?

Are you Career focused?

Are you a Business owner

Who are you….? 

So we like to give you a quick Visual Idea 

Riding down the street and you stop at a light and on the corner you see a handwritten sign that says

Head shot Photography Great Rate Call Now!

For me immediately when I see something hand written to advertise a business the first thing comes to mind is cheap. There service maybe not that great.. There signage speaks loudly of the non-investment paid into doing their business.

Most times that is what your images are doing for you. Are you a professional and your linked in , Facebook and other social media platform you are using for business are grainy cell phone images or vacation pictures that you have cropped to fit your profile?

Do you really want to be that handwritten corner sign and the only way you stand out is because potential clients are looking at you as being cheap.

A quality headshot will give you that polished look and feel of what direction you are building your business and your brand. Even if you don’t have all of the logistics together in the business a polished look will attract the right clients and land you the deal.

Ready to take your brand to the next level… Book a head shot session today…

You will be glad you did!

How our Friendship Started -The Accidental Reunion

About this past weekend!

Four of the six of our self proclaimed Real planners of Atlanta (we are a group of friends brought together for our love and passion for events.)  We are 5 alumni of Correllations LLC. event training.

On this past Sunday we were coming together to celebrate RPOA Shelia's birthday and the restaurant she had initially chosen we found out once we arrived opened at 4 our luncheon was scheduled at 2:00p.m. so we made a quick decision to change spots and go to another restaurant  in the area. After driving down the road and making a left turn we wound up at Brio and just like that we realized that is the place we made each other's acquaintance. Flash back story 4 years ago we all took part in a baby shower celebrating RPOA Lawanna welcoming baby Victoria.  Helena and Rhonda (not pictured) hosted a beautiful Munchkin theme shower and Kustom Kreation Photography (us) were hired as the photographer. Krista and Shelia were assisting in helping the planners of the event. 

So on Sunday by accident we wound up of the same place we begin what we didn't know then but haves learned now a friendship sisterhood that we can smile upon and look at where it all begin. It's amazing how things like that happen.

Life is a Gift!

Have a Blessed Day & Week!
