Stunning Headshot Photos with Author A.P. Watson

Sophisticated Headshot Photos with Author A.P. Watson in Bristol, Virginia

Being a #BossBabe takes a lot more than an idea and a social media following. It takes a lot of grit, hustle and hard work. The days can be tough, but the payoff can be big. I can’t think of another individual who truly personifies the hashtag more than Paige! This girl is truly a force of nature and I was so happy that she could spare a minute to take a minute off to do a headshot photos in Downtown Bristol!

If you don’t know Paige, aka A.P. Watson, you definitely should! She is a published author, a talented pole dancer, full-time nurse, and soon-to-be nurse practitioner! (I literally cannot brag on her enough! I have NO idea how she manages to do all of this!) So for her session we hit up the always wonderful Blackbird Bakery to grab a sweet snack before heading to The Bristol Hotel‘s Lumac Rooftop Bar for a glass of Prosecco and some sophisticated headshot photos!

The Bristol Hotel has definitely been a great addition to the downtown area of Bristol! It’s a modern, upscale hotel and event venue that exudes luxury but still feels hospitable. The widely featured Lumac rooftop bar is such a great place to for a night out with the girls or even just to relax and dine with friends. Plus, they have the BEST hand crafted cocktails around!

Headshot photos are definitely right up my alley! I think that having stunning images to showcase yourself and your work is extremely important. You are the heart behind your business and you should absolutely showcase yourself as individual behind your headshot photos! I truly love getting to know all of the creative entrepreneurs and small business owners in the area–most of the time we already have another headshot photo date scheduled before the branding session is finished!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

unforgettable

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
