Stepping in Front of the Camera with Katya
A mom is almost always the one behind the camera, not in front of it. At least that’s how it is in my house. And, for the most part, I am fine with that.
-
- I have never learned the perfect ways to pose (lean how, tilt the head where?)
- My hair is typically in a sweaty ponytail (but at least I worked out, right?) or under my favorite ATL hat
- I get dressed too quickly to put together an Instagrammable outfit every day
It’s not that I’m lacking confidence or even prefer to hide behind the camera… it just happens… I’m not the spotlight of the photos being taken regularly and I, in my mom leggings with unwashed hair, am ok with it.
But when it was time for Atlanta Mom to take new team photos and headshots (new branding, new owners, and new contributors!), the moms were officially in the spotlight!
We arrived at Katya’s studio on a Saturday afternoon.
I knew Katya through friends, but other members of our team were being introduced for the first time. Most arrived a bit nervous (again, we are used to being behind the camera), but Katya’s friendly smile, calming demeanor, and adorable Ukrainian accent quickly washed away anxiety. The glass of champagne that she gave us didn’t hurt either! She showed us around her studio, which is a light, airy, beautiful space with so many options for photos. A beautiful desk, a comfy couch, a simple wall… even outside space if we preferred. Once we decided on our plan for group photos and headshots, Katya got to work!
The girl was on fire!
If I had her in my life daily I would 100% want to be the one in front of the camera! She knows all of the right poses. She made us feel confident. Not that we shouldn’t have been confident all along, but she helped to project that confidence.
It was our turn to be in the spotlight and each mom with our different personalities, different styles, and different stages of life totally rocked our headshots.
Here’s my recommendation to you…
