We couldn't love Aubrie or her photographs anymore!…read more We've had several sessions with Aubrie over the past couple of years spanning the addition of two kids and I cherish the photos we've gotten from Aubrie to document our growing family. What caught my eye when I first researched photographers were all the quirky dogs that appeared in so many photos. Our pup was our first "child" and we loved the idea of having her included in our family pictures. What kept us coming back to Aubrie was her easy style and most importantly, her amazing pictures that capture a moment in our lives. I recommend Capturing Grace to all our friends and family and I won't hesitate to give her the most glowing review ever here!

You are the best!

As someone who doesn't like having pictures taken, getting my headshots done is a nerve-racking…read moreprospect. But when I got my new 'dream' job-- writing for a health magazine--they needed a headshot. And to be honest, I was also tired of my linked in being just a picture of my horse...so I had to pony-up (ha ha, puns are fun!) and find someone who could help me not look like my usual petrified-in-front-of-the-camera self in a new headshot. I first called Storytelling Headshots, because, come on: the website looks gorgeous. There was something really different in the images on her website, the colors, the light it all just looks... cool. And the people, they were clearly not just a subset of her most attractive clients. They all looked good but they also were not just models, they looked real, like someone you'd like to meet. So, I knew okay, this was a good photographer. But I realized there was still one problem: me. I am a total chicken when it comes to being photographed. I mean, I've never met a camera that didn't somehow think I had murdered it's mother or something...they are all out for revenge!!! And the pictures I get back always just look: ugh, well it's not pretty. I'll admit it: I am a photographic problem-child. And usually I get the feeling that the photographer can sense this about me. ( I guess photographers are like horses...they smell fear. Or maybe they smell non-photogenic-ness--in my case, both is true.) Anyway, I always get the feeling after a few minutes working with any photographer that they are getting impatient and want me outta there as fast as possible. (I mean, that makes two of us....) so that they can work with someone cooler, or better looking... which only makes my nervousness worse. But this experience was totally different. For one thing, I got to talk with AJ, the photographer, before we even set up the appointment. And immediately I felt like she wanted hear my story and take time with me to listen why I was getting the headshots and how she could help. She asked a lot of great questions about what characteristics I wanted to convey and what my personality was like. In general, she really seemed to care. So I took a risk and booked a session. Look, I know I'm a 'problem child' in front of the camera -- I have plenty of past 'photographic' evidence. For one thing, I am the queen of blinks! But for some reason, these images that AJ got blew me away, even just seeing them in camera. She said she is good at 'surfing blinks' -- i mean she didn't seem phased at all by my non-photogenic superpower of blinking at just the right moment. Long story short, it was a world of difference from other shoots I've had in the past. AJ showed me the images as she was photographing me and even asked me for feedback so that she could learn what I liked to see in a picture of myself. And she really listened and made a real effort to 'get in my head' and learn what I didn't like about photos in the past and what I wanted my headshot to be like. That has never happened before in my past photo shoots (Usually, I don't get to see the images until the proofs arrive, and it's always a disaster, with almost no images that I like.) This time, when I saw the back of the camera...I couldn't believe what I was seeing: they looked like a different person, well not exactly different-- in fact they more like the 'real me' than anything I've had done in the past. But it was not the blinking, awkward me I was used to seeing in pictures. I guess it's me in an alternative universe, one where I do know what to do in front of the camera. If you feel like me, you should definitely call this studio. AJ is working on a whole different level. Just the lighting alone is crazy-good, but I think it's the patience and willingness to go the extra mile that really makes this place special. I was so worried going into this...but, (and I can't believe I'm saying this), but by the end of the session, I actually felt I had fun. (Okay, maybe 'fun' is too strong...but I was definitely relieved that I had seen a good number of shots, even in the session in the back of the camera that I liked of myself. Impossible, but true. Anyway, it's a g.d. miracle, but I actually really love my final headshots. Honestly, I would have been happy to have one shot that I liked ( since that never happens.) But when we did the 'proof review' there were many, many of my proofs that I liked. (Again, this has got to be mirror-world because that never happens to me.) Okay, I know that's this has been a long rant but I'm still flabbergasted at how this turned out: In that it turned out really good! If you are anything like me, you know how difficult that is to do. So, anyway that's my two-cents: if you are photo-phobic and in the market for a headshot miracle-worker, this is the place.

As I got closer to launching my new website, I knew I needed to get serious about getting a proper…read moreheadshot. The problem was that I didn't want a run-of-the-mill picture. I wanted a photograph that would capture the joy I have for my work, my desire to help people, and that I am a friendly, fun, accessible teacher. Yikes, tall order - especially given that I don't think I've ever seen a photo of myself that conveys those things. Fast-forward to the day of my photoshoot with Storytelling Headshots and there's AJ: taking the whole thing in hand with calm, humor and clarity - including my anxiety that this was never, ever going to work out. Long story short, my headshots are unbelievable. (All of them, I kid you not.) Not only did I get a great picture for my homepage, I got about ten. AJ has this rare gift of being able to capture the essence of spirit in a photograph. If you look at any of the photographs on her website, you'll know exactly what I mean. If you need the most dynamite photographs of your life, AJ is a master of her craft and worth every single penny. Your only worry is going to be if she has any openings in her schedule (no joke).
