So you're thinking about having photos taken for your business? Well, congratulations, you're taking the first steps. But don't tell me you're starting to hesitate.

With those inhibitions, stepping in things like, I hate having my photo taken. I've got a horrible profile, a double chin. I've got a big nose. And the list goes on, doesn't it? I totally understand. As I, too, felt the same. It's too easy for us to ridicule every part of our body. But I have to say it was the steps taken by Heidi, prior to the day that made it so much easier.

Because she organises things for your weeks out, checking in on where you would like the pictures taken, clothing, what sort of makeup, props etc. To the point that if she feels something else will work better for you, the shots she will recommend it.

I was nervous, but I think it was excitement because I hadn't done it before. But everything was clear. I had everything ready. Heidi made it so comfortable. She could sense I was a little shy about certain shots. But that soon faded. As she lifts your confidence, and only gives you the ones that work for your body type, the look you're trying to achieve, plus the story that you wanted to build through those pitches.

So if you haven't taken the steps yet, know the next steps. You are feeling a little uncomfortable still in some way. Talk it through with Heidi, because I think you'll find you'll be more than thrilled by the amazing results you'll achieve with her work. I'm certainly glad that I took the steps with her.
