Sneak Peek: Business Portrait!


Donna is a professional in the healthcare industry and wanted a business portrait that was polished, sophisticated but not overly serious and stuffy. In a couple of beautiful suits and with some cool lighting techniques - mission accomplished!

In this information age, I can't emphasize enough the value that a professional business portrait or corporate headshot brings to you. Whether you are an individual on the job market, looking to promote yourself within your company, or a small business owner with several employees, the first impression you make is important - and more often than not, these days that impression is made virtually via your website, or LinkedIn, Facebook or other social networking profile. Ask yourself: what does your picture say about you?

At Striking Photography, each business portrait is carefully created and I discuss in detail your clothing and what your personal or company brand represents. I work with you to craft an image that conveys the core values your brand represents.

Call me today at 913.602.8061 to discuss updating your business portrait. Or visit the Striking Photography website for more examples of my work. It's a great investment in your most important asset - YOU!

Sneak Peek: Enagement Session!





Tara and Steve are getting married in a little over a month! (Yep, you guessed it - I am also their wedding photographer :-) ) My higher end wedding packages not only offer wedding day coverage, but an additional shoot of your choice - an engagement session, a boudoir session, or a "Rock the Dress" session after you come back from your honeymoon. Check out the descriptions on the site, http://www.strikingphotography.org/!



We had a great time, wandering around a nearby park and shooting wherever it struck our fancy. Although we had agreed on the time and general location, the park was quite busy that evening and it occurred to me that we might miss each other. So in a flash of insight, I put my camera tripod up on top of my car, figuring I would definitely stand out from the crowd that way! So if you see a car around Overland Park with a tripod and a crazy photog nearby, you'll know you were seeing me in action! LOL


We were also blessed with an absolutely gorgeous sunset that created beautiful reflections off the water. Congratulations, Tara and Steve! Check back to see some sneak peeks of their wedding in a couple months!
