I finally got my headshots done with Cristal Vancarson today, and she is magic! On her Skool community @Karin Crawford said, āGreat photography. šš»š± šš¼š š°š®šš“šµš @šš±š®šŗ š š°šš¼š¹š¹š¼šš“šµ ššŗš¶š¹š¶š»š“!! Genius!ā and that pretty much sums it up! To put this in context, in the 52 years I have been on this earth, there has never been one photo of me that I am happy to post online. That's why my current social profile image is an AI avatar of me. I thought I would pose a challenge with my dodgy squinty eye, which seems to know exactly when a camera is pointed at me, and my elusive smile that normally looks like I'm constipated, but she knows all the tricks in the book, and you just canāt NOT smile when in the presence of @Cristal Vancarson . So here is real, human me! I'm so pleased with my photos, and she turned an event I was dreading and had been putting off into the highlight of my day. š„° Thank you so much for making it sooo fun, AND I even got a bonus portrait of me with my daughter thatās definitely going on the wall. When I said that to Cristal, she said, āThere is NO greater HONOR than for me to have a picture on the WALL in my clientās home.ā You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she photographs. What I loved most is that this whole thing was done remotely from home, between my other calls, and was all wrapped up in around 40 minutes. No awkward standing around wondering what to do with your hands. Just a proper live session with someone who knows exactly how to bring the best out of people. She was also brilliant with my daughter. They say never work with kids or animals, but Cristal orchestrated them both effortlessly! That is what Cristal does so well. She does not just take a photo. She catches a moment. She makes you relax. She makes it fun. And somehow she makes the whole thing feel easy, even when you thought you were going to hate every second of it.
