San Francisco Headshots: Author Jane Sloane

       Jane is such an inspiration. She works at the Global Fund for Women (as Vice President for Programs), a non-profit that help women and girls across the globe with grants that support social change and women's human rights. We met with Jane in downtown San Francisco at her office, a sunny, vibrant space, full of people doing amazing work and loving it. Jane is about to publish a book about conflict resolution and the empowerment of individuals to make change, and we shot a video with her to promote it.  We also captured some headshots of her on set. We loved hearing all her stories about traveling the world, meeting incredible people (like Nelson Mandela!) and are excited to get our hands on a copy of her new book, which we'll be sure to let you know about when the video is published.

       Making a difference with our art is so important to us, and we feel privileged to work on such an wonderful project, and to collaborate with such a strong, wise, and playful leader.  Oh... and did we mention she hula-hooped for us?  Stay tuned for the video :)

San Francisco Headshots: Erica Ota Events

       We've become good friends with Erica, of Erica Ota Events, a highly respected wedding planner in the Bay Area who plans the most amazing weddings.  She's well-known among her peers as well, fostering the vitality of our wedding vendor community by organizing professional mixers every other month. These events are a great opportunity for wedding vendors to hang out and swap tips, since we have so little time to do so at weddings. With an impeccable eye for detail, Erica does such an excellent job designing events, ensuring that everyone has a blast!

     It was great to take some professional headshots for Erica and her associate Jessica last week in the Mission district.

       Headshots, whether they are for actors, corporate or for small business owners, are an important way for individuals to show their personalities and we love how these headshots show off Erica and Jessica's friendly, warm and professional vibe :)
