Headshots can have a basic background but don't need to look boring! With proper body and hand position, even a plain wall can offer compelling professional portrait options!

The other night, I went to a local photographer's meet up where we exchanged headshots, talked, laughed, ate Mexican food, and had a blast. Thank you to Mill Street Studios for opening your doors to us!

We were randomly placed in groups, and I was lucky to have some fabulous ladies in my group. This is Chia Marie of For Forever Imagery. She was nice enough to share her super fun hat with the group. :)

Then Chia let me wear her hat and snapped this one of me. 

Next in our group was Ellieana of Photos By Ellieana.

And then the hat made a comeback.

And then there was Courtney of CSmalley Photography. She wore the hat as well, I just for some reason didn't get pictures of her in it! We had a very fun night. 

Cincinnati is a great city to take headshots. But just north of town, in a lovely, growing suburb called Liberty Township, there is a great new outdoor space that is a fantastic location for headshots. I had the pleasure of taking headshots for Stacy Dickman, whose latest book is due to come out soon. (Check out her last book here.) She wanted to update her headshots for her latest book, and I was happy to take them! We literally had so much fun taking these photos, and believe it or not, we only spent 30 minutes taking all of these different looks. I laughed so much, and I think she had just as much fun as I did. :)
