Aareana "Pink" Campbell: SmartShot Vendor Spotlight

All things beauty, this vendor is always on beat! Aareana "Pink" Campbell has been passionate about the beauty industry since she was about 16 years old when she was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata, a condition in which her hair does not grow. With this, she wanted everyone else around her to feel as beautiful as she found herself to be. She did hair and nails for family & friends for years. She decided to finally pursue that passion professionally in 2011, when she graduated from beauty school @ Rudy & Kelly Paul Mitchell Partner School in VA Beach and became a licensed cosmetologist. She is sort of a Jill of all trades... offering an array of makeup, hair and nail services...from custom fashion color, Balayage highlights, relaxers, blowouts, natural hair & braids. As well as acrylic nails, manicures & pedicures.

What makes Pink unique is her unmatched attention to detail and her dedication to her client. On engagement shoots and wedding days, Pink is there from start to finish, always making sure the bride is camera ready at all times. She is super punctual, passionate and educated about what she does and SmartShot is proud to work with her.

Shannon & Ericsha Engagement Shoot

     This shoot was truly fit for royalty. Ericsha and her King, Shannon, proudly proclaimed their love on this enchanting sunrise shoot. Simply put Shannon & Ericsha radiate love and fun. They are incredibly easy going and were such troopers even though the sunrise was hidden by dark clouds and strangely damp and cooled weather. Never the less, to say this day was joyful would be an understatement. Ronny and I look forward to shooting their wedding day. 

Brandon & Gabrielle Engagement Shoot

As you tune in tonight on the latest episode of 'Empire', think of this power couple; Brandon and Gabrielle. This couple is the definition of swagger and has great style that could only be compared to Lucious and Cookie Lyon. Their love for one another is genuine and pure. Ronny and I had a great time capturing the power in this couple. It was only fitting to photograph their images at Lion's Gate Bridge in Newport News, VA. Here are a few images from their engagement shoot:

Shevin & Candice: Engagement Shoot Snippet

Wow, what an amazing couple, Ronny and I had the pleasure of photographing. The essence of their love is truly pure and simple which made for an awesome engagement session. Shevin, who I see as someone to admire, finds serenity through fishing and spending time with family and friends. Through his passion for fishing fostered his greatest catch of all time; Candice's heart.

RICARDO & TIFFANY PHOTOS DE FIANÇAILLES

 

Downtown historic Norfolk, VA my wife and I really enjoyed our engagement shoot with Rick and Tiffany. We had a blast shooting photos with these two….having been together over 8 years they are personable & extremely hilarious which always makes a great recipe for the perfect engagement session, and we shared many laughs as we worked our way around Pagoda and Oriental Garden & the surrounding areas…

Back when Rick And Tiffany first met, majority of their first dates where held at Barnes & Nobles. These two would read books side by side all day until the facility had to close due to normal business hours. From this time spent, fostered up a beautiful love story  which would  be told to many generations to come. With these photos below we hope that this would extend their story. A special "Thank you to Barnes & Nobles At Tidewater Community College!".  

 

Thank you, Rick and Tiffany! We are looking forward to your wedding in July...

5 Easy Tips for Taking a Great Photo Booth Picture

Taking a picture at a photo booth is fun – along with your special someone or with bunch of all your friends. It seems like the perfect picture moment which you can capture and put in your scrap book and possibly laugh about it later in your life.

You can make this photo booth picture even funnier if you just follow these simple steps on how you can make it a stomach giggling and memorable picture – not to mention the experience and the quality that each picture provides you.

Maybe with the age of smartphones and digital cameras lowered the use of photo booths, but they continue to possess the same charm they have always had.

 

 

Master your silliness!

Come on now, don’t be afraid to look ridiculous. That is the whole idea, isn’t it? Photo booths are not exactly for serious sit down photography, it is meant for making the moment silly with giggles and ensuring that you indeed should look at your craziest best! What with making fake postures or a pseudo-war like picture, all you have to do is strike a funny pose and make it worth million giggles.

 

Be Prop ready – That’s right. If you are planning to include some funny props and articles with yourself to make your picture look different, make sure you are ready with all your props and equipments if you want your photograph to reveal the funny side of you.

Let’s get together – As well iterated before, it is to capture the funniest moments of your life. And if you have a huge group that does all such mischievous photographs with you – well! What more do you want! You have got amazing friends who are ready to share the lens space with you to make the pictures look amazing.

 

Else just for you two – Definitely I wouldn’t suggest to spoil your private moment either with an army of friends thronging around you. A private and cozy moment too can be captured with your beloved and that too can be made equally funny and simply ridiculous – tell you what! You can keep even this picture as ridiculous and silly as you want it to be.

Be Different; Do Different – Now what better can I suggest than striking silly and absolutely idiotic postures and expressions to make the photo booth experience a worthwhile one. Think differently and put on some of the never before seen postures and expressions. You might actually be surprised to see how much talent you possessed and only a photo booth brought out the best in you!

 

How much ever the world of photography gets digitized and sophisticated; there is one thing possibly technology cannot replace – the photo booth feeling. The fun, the crazy and absolutely funny and humorous ideas can be used and clicked in the same posture of your wish making your pictures a must necessity as they find their way into your friend book or best friend album

Remember one thing for sure – photo booths still hold the same charm as it always held and it still continues to cater to our funny and fantastic tastes!
