Mood is altered by a smile or soft expression in the same setting. Truly, it's not about the hair:-D
Today I'm interviewing our Official ACFW Photographer, Jodie Westfall. I'll show you a few more photos from her work at our photo shoot below the interview. Be sure to book your appointment soon as she'll book up fast!
Angie: Jodie, how did you come to be our Official ACFW Photographer?
Jodie: Last year I was contacted by Colleen Coble, she was interested in a photo shoot for her Girls Write Out blog. I was fortunate enough to meet her, Diann Hunt, Denise Hunter and Kristin Billerbeck! They were so much fun! I spent about an hour with them helping them capture special moments of friendship. I actually had other authors ask about me helping them with publicity photos for their books, business cards and websites. One thing led to another and I stayed very busy photographing different authors while attending the ACFW conference.
When Robin Miller, ACFW President, contacted me this year and asked if I was available for the upcoming conference, I didn't have to think very long about the awesome opportunity -- I accepted!
Angie: My two favorite tips for a great photo is to wear contacts whether you normally do or not because the light is picked up in your eyes. The second one is really important. It's to take a ton of shots because you are looking for that one special shot. You'll probably toss 90-95 % of the others. But the one...it's perfect because it captures your personality and the light in your spirit. What do you think are the most important tips you could give for a successful photo shoot?
Jodie: Photo Shoot Tips --- 1). Bring props that support your writing style -- They add so much to the photo -- for example you reading your book! 2). Relax! I promise it doesn't hurt!! 3). Share your expectations with me -- I'll do my best to capture those moments.
Angie: I have to say you are not only easy to work with, but you do capture special moments. I love your tagline. Will you share it here please?
Jodie: Sure:-) Capturing Life Unscripted Since 1997
Angie: I think that is exactly what Jodie Westfall really does. Could you share how to contact you for the appointments in Dallas in September?
