Behind the Scenes: Elite Sessions

I just wanted to share some of the magic behind the scenes at our Special Headshot Sessions that are growing more and more popular at Elite Sessions By Nereida Salon and Skin Care.
Nereida works her magic...doing an AMAZING job with hair and make up that always leaves our clients looking and feeling pampered, confident, beautiful and smiling brighter than ever (which comes across in their images and really makes all the difference!) We set out to create a fun, relaxing environment for everyone to not only enjoy getting their headshots updated but to also mingle, socialize and network. And so far, so good....in July we will be doing our third round and this one is set to knock the socks off everyone- stay tuned for more details :)

For appointments or more details on the salon, visit Elite Sessions on facebook or their website :)

Behind the Scenes: Jessica's Headshots

Every time I get to see Jessica it is a little highlight in my day- she is sweet, kind and always has a big smile on her face! Our shoot was no exception and she actually got on to me for making her laugh because her smile was too big- ha! Is there really such a thing as too big of a smile...I think not :)Not only is she fun and smart (ok, the list goes on and on...), she also has a huge heart- recently she headed her first fundraising event for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to benefit the Great Strides Riverwalk! I was so proud of her and also thankful to be able to be able to participate myself in helping her raise money :)Giving back is so important and it does not matter how big or how small- every effort is needed and appreciated...even if all you can offer is a nice BIG smile, do it and you just may make someone's day!

Jess, thanks for your big heart and BIG smile :P

Jacksonville Business Women: Mary Pat

Background: I have had the distinct pleasure of working with several business women in Jacksonville and wanted to share a little piece of their story with you and give them a nice pat on the back just for being wonderful and doing what the love! Hope you enjoy Mary Pat's short story :)

Anyone who knows me well (ok, or talks to me for 5 minutes) knows that I L-O-V-E Costco! A good portion of the furniture and most the groceries in our cabinets come from there...not only do I love shopping there and seeing what is new, it has become quite the family outing. The boys love going around the store and trying all the samples and seeing all the people (they actually behave better in Costco because there is so much to see, many ladies to flirt with and food around every corner!). On many occasions we make an evening of it and have a simple diner together after shopping...who can beat a hot dog and a soda for $1.50...nobody ;)

So no doubt I have watered down my obsession with Costco (ha,ha-NOT!) in the brief little intro above, only to get to (in my opinion) one of my favorite things about Costco...Mary Pat :)
Name: Mary Pat
Profession: Marketing Representative, Costco
Just for Fun: Go to the beach with family, get away on a girl's weekend, make jewelry (ohhh- I'll have to get with her on that one...I LOVE hand made jewelery!!!)

Because I love Costco so much- of course I had to ask Mary Pat what she loves about her job and her answer is great (though I was a little surprised no mention of the hot dogs- ha!)...She loves the variety in her job, meeting new people and talking about Costco everyday (funny- somehow I talk about Costco everyday, too)!

Mary Pat is so sweet, kind hearted and considerate the kind of person that when you see them it is like seeing an old friend who genuinely means it when they ask how you have been doing.

Sooo- if by now you are wanting to run out the door and join Costco (and why wouldn't you?) or you are a current member- either way see Mary Pat to open or renew your membership and she will hook you up with some great little bonuses :)

Thanks Mary Pat for just being you (aka "awesome")

Jacksonville Business Women: Camille

The short stories continue introducing you to more wonderful business women in Jacksonville...

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for one of the greatest things that will happen to you today...Meet Camille :)

The only way to describe her is sunshine in a bottle- she is perky, fun loving, full of smiles and just so dog gone happy ...she knows no other way to approach life. Through our friendship she has taught me how to see the positive in everything and has been such a true example of the degree of which you really give back could quite possibly be the best measurment of success.

This was our second session together, you may remeber Camille's Walk in the Park earlier this year that was her "just for fun" session- well, this one we had an agenda. Camille will soon be launching her new business website and she is a social networking diva so she of course needs equally fabulous pictures for all her profiles.

Camille is dedicated to finding creative, effective and affordable marketing and business solutions for her clients. The good morning wake up calls are just a perk her clients enjoy :)


Name: Camille
Profession: CEO, Outside the Box Consulting
Just for Fun: It's a shorter list of what she doesn't like, but I'll give it a go anyway...Everything! Hang with friends, play games, travel, shoot rockets/ watch shuttle launches, write songs, draw and sing... Lots of Elton :)
Really COOL Fact: Camille has loved Elton John since she was 10 years old and has been to over 100 concerts!!! She has not gotten to meet him yet- but it's on the to-do list :)

Anyone in need of a good kick in the pants business approach or new marketing strategies, Camille is your girl! Thanks Camille for always being such a joy to be around- God Bless!

Jacksonville Business Women: Linda

Intro: I have had the distinct pleasure of working with several business women in Jacksonville and wanted to share a little piece of their story with you and give them a nice pat on the back just for being wonderful and doing what the love! This is Linda's short story :)

Name: Linda
Profession: Wine Consultant
Just for Fun: A glass of wine (of course) and fencing...

Linda has a vibrant personality, sweet smile and a love for the good things in life- she is a wife, mom, business woman and even fences her son! She also may have the toughest job in the world...Not! If you asked her she would tell you she has the greatest job in the world- serving as host to in home wine tastings and educating guests about wine...

Linda is a Wine Consultant for PRP Wine International and strives to build relationships clients beyond selling a case of wine, she hopes that the wine they buy and the knowledge they learn helps them confidently enjoy it with their friends and family enhancing those relationships as well.


So cheers to you, Linda- thank you for having a blast with us for your new headshots and we wish you barrels of success (ha- I know she got that one ;)!!!

Anyone interested in scheduling a complementary tasting in your home, just contact Linda and she will take care of you :)

I had a blast with 6 women this week who booked mini headshot sessions at the PWC event at Make n' Take Wines in OP (more details on that event soon).

Special Thanks: Keith Litterick, Make-N-Take Wines for providing a huge space for us to set up for the session and makeup area and the most delicious wine I have ever tasted- thank you so much for your hospitality!!!

Here are just a few more shots of Yuliya rocking her session....

PWC Professional Headshot Special!

I am so excited to announce this special for PWC Members!!!

Also included with the headshots is a professional make up artist to ensure everyone looks and feels their absolute best in beautiful makeup by ARBONNE!
