Erin Barnes from Pretty, Polished, Perfect came for headshots. She is a mom of three boys, a Kansas City based fashion blogger, and a stylist. Erin is the most goofy blogger I know. I really like her personality. She said that her current headshot on her blog is outdated and would also like to use the same headshot across all social media sites. Her requirements for headshots were a little unusal than most clients. She wanted the headshot to be fun and goofy like her personality. She definitley does not want a glamour headshot. She want her audience to recognize her from multiple social media sites by looking at her headshot. When her fans meet her in person, they will say, “Erin, you really look the same with your profile picture” intead “Oh, you look so different, why you look so much prettier in the picture?”
With all these requirements down, I had to come up with a different strategy with headshots. We talked and talked during the entire session. We laughed, we giggled, we talked about kids, we talked about styling, and we talked about life. Erin was pretty relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. I hope she likes some of these and will use one as her main social media profile.

My family has taken many photos with different photographers but I was especially drawn to Bokeh Story Photos because of their idea of telling a story with the photographs. Lai made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She let us do our own thing while periodically posing us as well. She also did a great job in capturing the expressions of our baby boy, which is not an easy thing to do since they can be quite fleeting! I would recommend this service to anyone who wants a spec… Read more
“I have been around photographers for many years, and it is easy to see that the quality and experience during my photo sessions were extraordinary. I had a lot of fun, and the pictures turned out great. I would recommend having pictures taken with her to any of my friends, without hesitation.”
