Hello!

I’m Mallory – the conference photographer! I wanted to talk a little bit about what the process will look like and help walk through some questions you may have.

Should I get headshots? What’s the point?

First of all, I think anyone who associates themselves with a brand or business should have headshots. Not only does it help get your name and face “out there,” and fill space on a business card, it helps give you confidence! Especially as an author, your face is generally associated with your name. If you look your best in that photo, chances are you’re going to feel your best, giving you the confidence to put yourself out there and make more connections. Now maybe you already have headshots and don’t feel the need to update. Well I ask you again, do you feel confident in those photos? Do they represent you as an individual and what your brand stands for? If you answered “no” to those questions, maybe it’s time for an update!

What can I expect? Pricing?

I’ve put my pricing guide for headshots at the bottom of this page. I’ve laid out 3 different packages that speak to different situations. Hopefully this will make choosing a it easier! No matter the package, I will make sure you like at least one image before we’re done shooting. I understand that you’re paying for this service and you want to look your best!

I will provide a plain backdrop if you prefer a more simple background, but going outside will also be an option. Although the backdrop can come across “cleaner,” going outside will give us an opportunity to play with color and help bring out your individuality! All packages will include the images delivered through an online gallery that is downloadable. You will have all printing and sharing rights. When it comes to choosing which images I deliver, I will make the final call as the artist. (of course choosing the best ones)

Packages

Package One is great if you just need one or two images to put on a business card or website. The session will be quick and painless, taking 15 minutes at most. Your choice of indoor or outdoor shooting. Images will only be from the waist up.

Package Two will give you more options, therefore taking between 15-30 minutes. I allow this time because it can take a few minutes to feel like yourself in front of the camera. You will be able to go both inside and outside if you choose. These images can be waist up and/or full body, whichever you prefer.

Package Three is if you want to go “all out.” You’re there for the conference anyway so I say why not?! You’ll receive all 10 images in color and black and white (a total of 20 images). This really is a great price for all of those images! These will be waist up and full body, again only if you choose. We will go to multiple locations to give you a few different looks. This session will most likely take 15-30 minutes.

What should I wear?

ADD ON OPTION – I am SO excited to be able to offer this add on option. My good friend Heidi (Heidi Rebekah Beauty) is a stylist who I have worked with a lot in the past. We know that getting photos of yourself can be stressful and overwhelming so we want to make the process as easy as possible! For an additional $20, added on to any package, Heidi will do basic hair and makeup touchups as well as help with styling, to help you look and feel your best!

If you decide to add this option on, she will be available via email to help you decide on outfits, accessories, and hair choices. Unfortunately we will only have time for one outfit per person (no matter the package) BUT feel free to bring accessories. Necklaces, hats, and jackets, are great ways to add a pop of color and spruce up an outfit.

As for things to avoid, fluorescent colors reflect off the skin, so please avoid those. Earth tones and neutrals are best, but again, we are happy to help you make those individual decisions on the day of, or even before!

I want to book! What now?

First off, yay! I cannot wait to meet you and help you invest in photos you love!

The easiest way to book is to go through my website www.malloryjophoto.com/contact. Click the box that you are wanting headshots for the Blue Ridge Conference. After that, I will be in touch with available times and days for your session. Once you decide on a package, I’ll send a contract to sign online as well as a way to pay online. If cash or a check is more convenient I can also take that day of.

When it comes to photography, Mallory specialize in portrait and product. She has worked with countless families, photographed for name brand companies, and dose some graphic design work as well!

She is a simple woman with a passion for the arts instilled in her by the Creator of all.

She went to UNC Asheville for art education and quickly learned college was not for her. There was a whole world out there just waiting to be captured! So many opportunities that actually didn’t need a college degree.

So, she decided to take a break from college and try to pursue this “photography thing” full time. And thus began Mallory Jo Photo. It has been quite the journey and she is still on it.

She loves wildflowers, coffee, and the details we often overlook. She also loves her dear husband Patrick, our dog Sammy, and the city of Asheville that she gets to call home.
