Before I talk about the amazing Izzy in these imag

Before I talk about the amazing Izzy in these images, I need to talk about how all things are connected. Izzy’s mom, Sharon is the creator behind Bloomin Groovy and she makes these amazing hats that are unique and whimsical. Sharon had some of her hats at Therapy Boutique for a while, during the holiday market. We are all connected in this small town and creative people are especially so. #shoplocal

One more time for the people in the back, be adventurous for you session because life it too short for pictures that are boring. Get your feet wet.

So now we offer headshots, which you can think of as senior portraits for adults. The Valerie Ott Photography version. You get to look great. You get to feel great. And in the end you have amazing pictures to show for it. It was a much easier transition than I thought it would be. I love working with all types of people to make them feel beautiful. Not just 16-18 year olds.

I have decided to make a slight (small, tiny, itty bitty) transition to headshots, but still focusing on seniors. How did I transition from specializing in senior portraits to taking headshots? Well, the answer is really simple. My clients asked me to. Since the very first moment I started to photograph seniors the way that I do, specifically with hair and makeup from @wildbeesbeauty, the mom’s of my senior clients said the same thing over and over again. Here’s the statement I heard: I wish I had pictures like this.
Finally, finally, finally I acted on it and added headshots to my business.

Here was my absolute favorite part of her session:

Here was my absolute favorite part of her session: we were in the creek, and it was incredibly hot outside. Makayle offered to get in the water, first at her ankles. Then at her knees and then she wanted to lay down in the water! I love sessions where we go to the extreme. She wanted to live life to the fullest and just do it!

One darling part of Makayle’s session was that S

One darling part of Makayle’s session was that Sarah came looking all cute, like she always does. This time she was wearing a Bloomin Groovy hat. I asked if Makayle could wear it because it coordinated perfectly with her pink dress. If you haven’t seen Bloomin Groovy hats, I would highly recommend that you find her on Instagram. They are all handmade creations.
