Meeting Strangers in Barnes and Noble - El Dorado Hills Portrait Photographer

It takes a particular personality to meet a complete stranger…and then pose and take photographs.  I do love swapping photos with fellow photogs because its probably the least stressful photo shoot I do.  I don’t know why.  Maybe I should be more nervous as I could be judged by a peer, but I usually think “they are probably feeling as nervous and silly as I do.”  

When Britney, Your Creative Counterpart, reached out that she wanted to swap a shoot, I was game.  Just like every other current professional using social media or Linked In, you need a current photo of yourself.  You just do.  And as a girl who loves to change her hairstyle/color every 8 weeks or so, it never hurts to capture the current hue of my hair.

Both a lover of books, we decided to meet at Barnes and Noble.  Again.  Meeting a complete stranger.  Taking photos in the middle of Barnes and Noble.  And then having MY photo taken.  It takes a certain type.

I found a friend of like mindset in Britney.  Couple minutes of small talk and we were shooting.  We both wanted a couple working shots of ourselves for social media.  Writing notes.  Reading a book.  Posing with our cameras.  Nothing too elaborate or difficult but necessary and fun.

So I present to you Brittany’s photos from our branding shoot.  Lots for her to choose from for many social media posts.  I can’t wait to see how she uses them.
