Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Portraits | Mini Sessions

Join Anthologie for our latest Headshot Happy Hour!

OK, let's be honest. Are you still using a selfie for your professional profile picture online? Yikes! You might be sending the wrong message. In business you always want to dress for the job you want, not the one you already have. Nothing says you don't take yourself too seriously like an over-the-top Instagram filter layered on the photo someone took of you on their cell phone. Don't worry, we're here to help.

Anthologie is offering business profile photo mini sessions at an amazing value. Join us 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, in Suite 312 of the River Ridge Building; 190 River Ridge Circle; Burnsville, MN. After putting my money where my mouth is and having my own headshots recently updated outdoors (on a blustery -6 degree day), we've decided to change things up a bit. We will be hosting our Headshot Happy Hour indoors for the first time so you won't have to worry about the wind! Included with your session:

• The time and talent of your professional photographer in a relaxed (and warm), natural light setting
• Use to 2 unique final images in perpetuity
• Final edits/enhancements of your 2 best pictures
• Electronic delivery of files in high-resolution and web-resolution
• Black-and-white and color versions of your pictures
• Price: $50

Please reserve your place today, or request additional information by calling 952-232-5830 or emailing info(at)theanthologie.com

Burnsville, MN Business Photographer | Headshot Event

Get a new professional profile photo for only $50

Image is everything. You wouldn’t send your résumé in to a potential employer scrawled out on notebook paper, would you? Of course not. You want to look your best – to be taken seriously. However, many people forget to add this same level of professionalism to their online résumés, specifically when it comes to profile pictures.

Putting your best face forward with a great picture that shows you’re serious about your career can speak volumes to prospective clients, colleagues and business associates. Take that image one step further with a photo that not only shows what you look like, but also showcases your personality and you’ll really stand out from the crowd.

Now you have a chance to stand out, and at an amazing value! Join us 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15 at Heart of the City Park in Burnsville (12600 Nicollet Avenue, Burnsville, MN) for our head shot mini session event. For only $50 you'll receive 2 unique images to spruce up your business profile online and in print applications (regular price $150).

Dress for success

We aim to capture your personality with your portrait so it’s important for you to dress in a manner that speaks to who you are and your intended career path. Remember, with business photography, you want to dress for the job you want, not the job you already have. Think about the image you want to project to others and dress accordingly.

• Jackets and coats that are crisp and fitted photograph the best

• Dressing in layers is always a great option for multiple looks

• Solid colors rather than busy patterns add an air of sophistication

• Dark and neutral colors are great for outerwear

• Avoid vibrant colors with shirts unless that’s a part of who you are

• Guys, bring a tie. Ladies, add a scarf. You can always take it off if it’s too formal.

• What’s slimming? Simple, solids, darks, vertical lines and single-breasted suits

It may sound silly, but it’s not a bad idea to practice your smile in a mirror before your session. You may find that your “posed smile” makes you look less approachable. Don’t worry, Anthologie photographer Dan Iverson is a pro at making you relaxed and at ease being yourself in front of the camera.

Please share this event with others. Thanks for visiting!

It's time for you to 'Take a Shot at Social Media'

Does your profile photo look dated? Are you searching for a job or new career online and want to put your best face forward? Having a current profile photo helps you to add a layer of professionalism to your résumé that words alone cannot. And for companies with a staff in place, profile pictures of your employees can bring transparency and warmth to an otherwise difficult situation of engaging with your clients in an online forum.

We can help.

Linkedin research shows that a page with a profile picture is seven times as likely to be viewed as a page without one. Update your headshot on June 21st for only $50. Anthologie is co-hosting this event in the aim of getting you noticed online.

Here's the gist of it:

• Four, 90-minute time slots available (choose one that works best for you): 9 to 10:30 a.m., 11 to 12:30 p.m., 1 to 2:30 p.m. and 3 to 4:30 p.m.

• During your reserved time there will be a presentation on how to get better results for your business or career with Linkedin

• You will receive a brief portrait session on location

• These are not boring, stand-in-front-of-a-backdrop profile photos. We will create engaging images that show off your personality.

• Included in your registration fee is the rights to use two unique photo files (plus, black-and-white and color versions of these files)

• Final photo files will be electronically transferred to you so you can start using them with your online profiles
