Commercial Portrait Session :: Ramona Ndlovu

This year, I have really been enjoying work in commercial portrait sessions for local business women. For these business owners it is an investment in putting together a complete professional look~ a first impression that counts when someone is deciding to approve a press release, schedule an interview to talk about their business, and overall adds credibility to business websites and online social sites.

I had the privilege of working with my good friend, Ramona Ndlovu, whose business Sage Heart Studio is just getting underway. She is looking to combine her artistic talent with her counseling background to help others in their spiritual growth. While Ramona's latest art project is rughooking, she also enjoys gardening, reading, and traveling with her husband and two children.

This December, she will be leading a one day retreat for Oasis Ministries at the Palmyra First United Methodist church. For more information about the retreat (and to see one of Ramona's images in action) click here: http://www.oasismin.org/Advent-GodwithUs.htm  Below are a few of my favorites from her portrait session~ she has such natural beauty, both inside and out!

Commercial Portrait Session :: Whole Wide World Toys

Sometimes God puts some of the most interesting and fun people in my life ~ meeting Laura Barta, owner of Whole Wide World Toys, was another one of those times when I realize it's more than just a business relationship, I am blessed to make a friend in the process. Laura has lived and traveled abroad, and recently published her first book, My China Travel Journal, aimed at teaching kids about everyday life in China. She is currently working on creating additional toys and games to enhance the book, and has a vision for future multi-cultural books and toys as her company grows.

Last year, Laura bid on (and won!) a Circle of Life Photography portrait session silent auction at the Hershey Playhouse annual fundraiser dinner and decided to use it to create portraits for her growing business. Together we chose clothing and accessories that would be professional and represent her company. The session itself was relaxed and fun, and Laura's personality and warmth just really comes through in the images.

Commercial portrait sessions are a valuable investment in creating a professional look for any business~ these digital images are for use in marketing, business cards, websites, submitting for publications, etc. Even though Laura's images were taken at her home in Hershey, PA, they have a timeless, classic look that could be anywhere in the world, which works perfectly for her business!
