SHAYLA CHADO: THE REALTOR WITH HEART, HUMOR, AND A HAPPILY EVER AFTER - BY MIKECON PHOTOGRAPHY

about 8 months ago

Shayla's energy was magnetic. It's like she had this aura of positivity that could have made even the dreariest of days feel like a walk in the park. We'd be snapping photos outdoors with the sun beating down and Shayla would crack a joke that had us both doubled over in laughter, forgetting all about the weather, or the sweat dripping down my bald head.

"(NSFW) BODY PAINT SHOOT BTS" - BY MIKECON PHOTOGRAPHY

about 2 years ago

Seeing everyone shooting the same style, or technique just gets lame, and I personally, and professionally do not desire to have my work look like someone/everyone else’s. Hopefully all of this creativity will inspire someone to make some art and remember to, “Go against the grain”.

I met Katy via social media, and we started talking about doing a photo shoot together, and I saw that she too is a fellow photographer, and actually lived a few streets away from me in Castle Rock, CO. After a few weeks of not hearing back from Katy, I looked on her Facebook and lo and behold, tragedy struck in her family. Immediately, I reached out to Katy to check up on her and to see how her family was doing.

Do you remember your first training session? How different is your training today?
I remember when I first joined a gym after having my son. That was more significant to me than my first time ever training in a gym was. I was a new mom and needed to get out of the house and find a community. I found it when I came back to the gym. (I’d had to give up the gym during my pregnancy due to complications.)

"ANSWERING PHOTOGRAPHY MESSAGES" -By MikeCon Photography

October 18, 2018 in Attitude, Blogs, Denver Fitness Photograph, Fitness Photographer, Fitness Photographer CO, Marketing, Photographer, Photography, Communication

Throughout my small tenure here in Colorado, I've been told from other photographers to, “Act like I’m busy”, or “Available, but unattainable”, so I can draw interest from potential clients. Now to someone who’s just dumb, that’d make sense, however for me, I’ve worked in the customer service realm for over 20 years when I was an active duty Marine. We’ve got to do better!!

"HOW NOT TO DO A PHOTO SHOOT"

Well, a lot of times people show up to photo shoots all nervous and that's cool, however there's some that show up thinking that they know everything from "America's Next Top Model" and end up like this:

No matter what you do, don't do this! Of all things...have fun, and learn to take direction from your photographer. The person you hire is supposed to be the expert and is going to hopefully deliver you some amazing images!
