A Perfect Photo is one that captures a Perfect Moment

“A Perfect Photo is one that captures a Perfect Moment” – some words that came to me as I was editing this photo of our child swinging on his swing set, and gazing into my eyes (probably my camera lens, technically).

Maybe there truly isn’t a perfect moment, but in your memory, it becomes perfect. The last evening light of a beautiful spring day dances in the child’s eyes makes for a magical moment.  That’s what we try to capture with photography. The time your child is making a mess, but in the moment you step back and realize you wouldn’t change a thing.

This professional headshot was created indoors at the client’s house.

One photo was taken indoors at her home, which was very convenient for her busy schedule. The other was a quick, on-location portrait session in Des Moines’ East Village. You can’t ask for better weather for March in Iowa than we had for this session!

This headshot created on-location in Des Moines’ East Village.

It used to be that your résumé never included photos, but with so much social media networking being done on Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, etc. professional headshot photography is becoming more important to make a good first-impression to prospective customers and employers.

Does your current professional headshot need to be updated? Does it tell a story about you, or is it boring? What would you like your professional headshot to say about you?

We would love to meet with you to talk more about headshot photography – contact us to schedule a free consultation session so we can plan your on-location session.

We also work with groups and can even schedule a to have your whole team’s headshot photos updated to create a uniform look for your website and marketing materials.

The post Ashley and Brett’s Engagement Slideshow appeared first on Barber Photography.

Kevin always comes back with breathtaking landscape photos. Last year, the group even took a helicopter ride, landing on a glacier.

This year while on the trip, one of the staff members at the camp, Brett, mentioned he had just recently gotten engaged so Kevin offered an engagement session for him.

Check back early next week to see a sideshow from the rest of Ashley and Brett’s Alaska Engagement Session.

A few months ago, we went to visit our good friends, Crystal and Adam in Indianapolis.  Crystal and I had both been pregnant for the first time at the same time (our due dates were about a week apart) so Crystal and Adam became really close friends partly because we were sharing in the same milestones around the same time.

We have photographed Liz and her twin brothers, Zachary and Evan, a few times through the years and it’s always been very special for us because they are such close friends and it means a lot to us that they ask us to be their photographer.

A little over a year ago, Crystal and Adam decided they would move to Indianapolis because they expecting a fourth son and they wanted to be close to family.   When we came to visit them this summer , we had the joy of meeting their new youngest son, Matthew for the first time, and got to see our son and all their kids play together.  As babies and young toddlers, Liz and our son, had always been pretty close and it was cute to see they still loved hugging and playing together.  When we first got there, Liz held my hand the whole day and was chattering away to me and I could tell she still remembered me.

At the end of our visit, we ended up doing a family session for them in their back yard.   Having one baby (who had just started crawling much quicker that week) and 3 toddlers to try to get to stay still for a few precious moments was a challenge but we all giggled through it and got some really great, fun photos that describe the family well.  Here are some of our favorites from their session.  We will be posting their slideshow later in the week so check back soon to see more photos from this fabulous family.

Despite starting the ride in the pouring rain at 5:30 in the morning, the athletes’ endurance was rewarded with a beautiful, sunny finish and the wind at their backs.

“Rolling Hills and Rolling Wheels”

I captured this photo from one of the support vehicles to help ensure the athletes’ safety during the ride. It is my favorite photo I captured during the day, and I wanted to make it available as a fine art print.

In the spirit of the ride, I am donating the profits from this print to the Okoboji 200. Below is where you can choose your fine art print options and order directly. I am trying to keep some lower-cost options, so you can choose anything from a fine art photo card to a large canvas wall print.
