Julia’s Blogfest

I have been running a Professional Headshot promotion for Feburary and have actually had some amazing women come in already.  I wanted to share some of these images as well as  promote the great work these ladies do!  I absolutely LOVE getting to know all of them and look forward to doing more and profiling those folks and their businesses soon!

Carolyn Semedo is the founder and facilitator of The Enterprising Moms.  She is incredible at bringing together a community of women who are professionals, entrepreneurs and small business owners in all industries who are also mom’s trying to find that delicate balance of work + homelife.  She was interviewed for a Washington Post Magaine article that ran last week.  I did her headshots for that article.  Here’s a link to read it — all about the elusive “TIME” we all try to capture and/or maximize in our lives.

I met Carrie Sessine, also an enterprising mom, this year as our boys are both 1st graders at Ft. Hunt Elementary and best of buddies.  Carrie is an public relations consultant specializing building and executing programs for clients in health, wellness and consumer products. For more than a decade she has been helping clients find their voice and deliver messages that generate exposure and build their reputation.

Christine Clapp is yet another Enterprising Mom.  She is relaunching her website soon and wanted to update her headshot.  Her business is teaching effective communication and public speaking skills to young professionals.  A skill everyone needs as Public Speaking is one of the most stressful events people claim to experience!!!  Right up there with a move, a new job, or the death of a loved one!   Her website is SPOKEN WITH AUTHORITY.  She currently teaches workshops and offers coaching to enable professionals to overcome their fears of speaking publically.

Dr. Kim Jessie was one of my brides and is a regular portrait client as her family grows!  I feel so honored to be such a part of her life on a regular basis when it comes to photography!  Dr. Jessie is a child psychologist with a specialty in psychological testing and psychotherapy with children and families.  She’s been in private practice since 2000.  She received her PhD in Child Clinical Psychology from the University of Memphis in 1998 and worked at the Lab School of Washington for 2 years before going into private practice.  Her office is in downtown Bethesda.
