Happy Monday! I am officially back from vacation and I was super busy the whole dang time I was off work. While I was on vacation I went to Ohio and visited my Neenee, got a lot of appointments out of the way (doctor, dentist, etc) and I got professional headshots done!! Yes, you read that right, I finally got headshots done for the blog!!
I was going to do them earlier in the summer but the week I was scheduled to do them my house sold and then I had to find an apartment and start packing and then with my crazy night shift work schedule the timing was never right until now. But I am happy I waited because I found the perfect shirt to wear in the Nordstrom sale and the timing just felt right. Know what I mean?
So lets get to the photos, shall we?? I will link everything below!!

Confession – I have wanted to get headshots taken for a while now but never did because I never felt like I was never “ready”. I always had excuses like waiting until I lost weight or my hair was grown out and there were so many other reasons but I am so glad that I finally just did it. I realized there will never be a “perfect” time and so I just bit the bullet and did it and I am so glad I did!! I am more than happy with how these photos turned out and I hope you like them too!!
If you are in central Arkansas I used Julie Bird from Julie Bird Portraits for my photographer and she recommended Chanda Price aka Pretty by Price to do my hair and makeup and I highly recommend both of these ladies!! They both welcomed me into their homes and made me feel super comfortable. I had never met either before the day I got my photos done and it was like I had known them both forever!
So anyway, if you are on the fence about getting headshots or any kind of professional photography done I say just do it!! You won’t regret it!!
Have you ever gotten professional headshots??

I absolutely love the photos and your makeup looks awesome! You have the prettiest smile! It’s about time I had headshots done again. My daughter is a photographer so she’s my go-to girl when I need photos of myself.

Now all of these headshots turned out great looking. Wonderful you finally had them done and shared them with us. Your makeup is perfect as always .
Glenda Cates says
Perfect outfit and what a beautiful smile you have. As for Headshots like you I need to do them but keep finding excuses not to. Although I am in Texas I can’t use the ladies you used or it might make getting them done easier.
Amber Myers says
I love these. I should do them one day. Maybe I will at some point, I just hate having my photo taken. I always look awkward.
Jeanette says
You had absolutely beautiful head shots. I think we all are all our own worst critics! I have had the same issues as you. I have not wanted to go somewhere because I didn’t look perfect. I think we should all just love the way we are and help others when they are not as sure of themselves.
Janet says
These are some fabulous headshots and you are beautiful! I love how your personality shines, and yet you look entirely professional.
Terri Steffes says
I haven’t done this but like you, I felt I wasn’t ready. I should just do it, you are absolutely right. Now is the best time!
Tasheena says

I’ve never had a professional headshot done, I don’t even like being in a regular picture much. Yours came out really great, she did a wonderful job.
