Daqri | Downtown LA Corporate Photography

Last week, I took corporate headshots at Daqri and broke out the studio lights, grids, and strobes once again... I certainly had missed using them! I came an hour and a half early (it took a lot of help to get all of the equipment up the highrise), set up all of the equipment in a nearby breakroom, and allotted fifteen minutes per person for two shots, head and body. The only light that needed constant adjusting was the kicker, which was aimed at the back of the head for a bit of rim light to add dimensionality.

Let's make Valentine's Day cards!

Remember how fun it was handing out Valentine's Day cards to all of our classmates as kids? Let's make personalized Valentine's Day postcards for our children that we can pass out to friends and family, save as mementos, and put on our fridge. On 1/15, I'll be setting up a backdrop and a branch prop with decorative red heart "leaves" (similar to #3 & #5), along with a few other fun props, so we can take photographs of the little ones. Then you choose one photo, which I'll edit, place in one of the below templates of your choosing, and send off for printing. Ten postcards (4.13" X 5.82") are $20 without personalization on the back of the card. If you would like personalization on the back, the minimum order is 20. They will be ready by February 5.

To summarize, this is what you'll get for $20:
  • 1 high res photo
  • 10 adorable Valentine's Day postcards with the template of your choice

Let me know if you're interested (wong.melinda@gmail.com) and I'll see you soon! :-)
