About This Professional Headshots Photography in San Diego Case Study
Meet Christine Gritmon – Social Media & Content Strategist
I met Christine at #SMMW17 and then in the run-up to #SMMW18 we re-connected on Twitter. After hitting it off like wildfire, Christine decided to book me for a Professional Headshot session during Social Media Marketing World to capture her time there.
Planning Professional Headshots in San Diego
To plan this session, I knew straight away from Christine’s style and vibes that we would be shooting at The Gaslamp District. You’ll see why in a mo.
From the quick planning that I did with Christine, a quick and concise wish list was developed that included some key factors. I knew that it was crucial to involve and include the following factors in her San Diego Photoshoot:
-
This was to document her time in San Diego. Not necessarily replace the existing professional headshot.
-
We wanted to add more narrative to her established brand.
-
Lots o’ Fun, Lots o’ Energy!
Christine Gritmon’s Professional Headshots in San Diego
The shoot day was fabulous. I had planned a couple of little routes around Gaslamp going on the method of strolling and shooting. I love to do this, especially with clients I haven’t gotten to know well yet. Walking around and chatting is like having a meeting, mastermind, giggling all the while we’re taking pictures.
Rendezvous At Blo
The US Blow Bar is far more established than our UK counterparts. Blo is a US-Wide Chain. Next time you are stateside, go get your hair fixed!
First Set
With a fresh bounce to the locks, we went straight into some dreamy morning light. A tree was casting this gorgeous dappled effect on the wall. This made our first backdrop.
Yoga Posing in the Gaslamp District
Further down the street, we were delinquents and we played right in the middle of the road. It was SO WORTH IT!
Professional Headshots in San Diego – Finding Red
On seeing a mural of Blondie we had to stop and set up a quick laptop moment within our professional headshots.
Professional Headshots With The San Diego Trolley
We then headed to the harbour and looked for more of an open space to play around with. Just near to the Exhibition Centre, there are the train lines that run the San Diego Red Trolley which happens to be RED (obvs).
We did a practice catwalk sashay – which I have to say Christine was a natural at! Then, when the time was right we got this beauty of the train being controlled by Christine’s Magic Powers.
Christine’s Review
Christine did a LIVE on Twitter to reveal her images.
