Your Business Portrait shouldn’t look like a mugshot,
unless it’s a mugshot by James Hodgins Photography

Mug Shot Day December 18th,2010

HEADSHOT DAY IS COMING

If your a professional, and your face is part of your business image, then why not make it the best it can be?  Over and over I see a lot of Business Portraits or headshots that are just….well…….CRAP!. (Read my blog post on why so many business portraits look cheap) If your idea of a business portrait is to stand up against a wall and have  a friend snap a picture of you, then what does that say about your business? Don’t go the cheap road, (yes I said cheap, because that is what it is), get a professional business portrait made. In the end it pays for itself.   Our Business Portrait Sessions start at $199 but for our “HEADSHOT DAY EVENT” we are giving it away for $59.99.

If you are interested send us an email and we will let you know first before we open up this event to the masses.
More info to come. STAY TUNED!

Last week Jocelyne and myself found ourselves photographing the beautiful couple Roger & Laurette.  They have been married for over 48 years and it has been a long time since either of them have been in front of a professional camera.  Our goal was to capture them in a relaxed atmosphere where they could just be “themselves”, laughing, talking, kissing, kissing, kissing, and more kissing.   It was actually the their Grandchildren Steve & Jessica that planned this session with us as they wanted an image that really “captured” who their grandparents are.  We were to also include Rogers 1971 mint condition GMC truck in the session as well so we needed to find a location that could accomodate the type of image I had already drummed up in me O’l noggin.    Well it turns out that Jessica’s parents had the PERFECT property located just behind Chelmsford with loads of trees, open spaces, and out cottages we could use to place our couple.

I have to chuckle now that the session was over as Laurette was SOOOO nervous about having her photos done that Steve and I stopped by their house after a bike ride  to calm her nerves and reassure her that she and Roger would have a great time.  Even as you watch the slide show you can see how quickly Laurette relaxes and she starts to get that sparkle in her eye.  I will admit to all of you now, these two were as much fun as a young couple in love.  Walking, holding hands, hugging, kissing, laughing, they did it all, and most of the time without  prompting, I even had to break up a kissing session by yelling “I asked you two to kiss, not make out” LOL.  FABULOUS!!!!    Just posting one image of these two would not do this session justice so I put together a quick slideshow for you all to watch.  Looking back, I wish I had something like this of my Grandparents so I could remember exactly how they were.

Don’t miss out on this amazing event.  Fathers day is not until next month but why not get a jump on it now and get the dads something that will last a lifetime.  Photographers across the world are catching on to our James Hodgins Photography “Fathers Favorites” Event (we are getting many many emails)  and the response is unanimous.  Fathers Favorites IS the ultimate fathers day event.

So I am here with my friends sitting beside Jillian and on her desktop is the below image.  I was like, “that is really nice, who took that?”  (and I was serious).   She looked at me like I was a total idiot (and sometimes I am).  I guess I photographed this last June and I completely forgot (see, she thinks we are good friends, but  really we are not), just joking Jillian.  Anyways, I thought I would hop on her computer and post this image of her 3 (soon to be 4) children.

As we are off this week so I have no new images to post I decided to go back a year and see what I captured over the holidays.  I will now dub thee post the “Hodgeblog Flashback” and every so often I will go back a year and post some images from that time.  Here are just a few of the many sessions I had over Xmas holidays 2007.

My stepbrother Mathew was in town for a few days so I took the opportunity to play in the studio.  A quick session before we headed out for supper, but we did get some cool images.

Mat being serious.

Mat not so serious.

Proud parents Natalie & Neil brought their new daughter “Tiia” into the studio yesterday.  You might remember them from such shoots as “Our wedding”, “Our Maternity Session”, “Our Baby Session”, “Our Family Session” and “Our 2nd Maternity Session”.  We look forward to the next family session with the most recent addition.

Congratulations again to the two of you.

My godchild Alex just got Lollipopped in our studio. I’m still working on the process, but soon we will be launching the Lollipop sessions so stay tuned.

COUPLES BLOG POSTS

WHY WAIT?

Joce and I like to do what we call the “Couples Walk” where we will head outdoors (most of the time) and find unique locations to document the two of you.

If there is something that connects the two of you like a location, a hobby, or a favorite restaurant, we want to incorporate that into your session so we can get that “Signature Couples Portrait”.

We promise you will have fun, the images will be awesome and it will be something you remember forever.
