My Headshots

A few months ago, my fabulous photographer friend Amy took some photos of me so that I could have a great headshot for my bio on my firm’s website. I love, love, love these photos! It’s so nice to have good pictures of myself. And I had so much fun with Amy! She really is a good friend and such a talented photographer. I can’t wait to lose 15 lbs and do another photoshoot with her. We’ve been talking about doing a boudoir photo shoot! So hot! But I definitely need to lose the weight before I do it.

Here are my absolute favorites from the shoot:

I love that first shot, because that is my real actual not just for pictures smile. This is the smile that gets the compliments. I actually get compliments on my smile, usually from old men. Isn’t that nice? I think it’s because it takes up my whole face and looks really genuine. I mean it is genuine. I’m a smiley kinda person. But I’m not as great with giving a genuine picture smile. I’m not so comfortable in front of the camera. So, I don’t know what Amy was saying, but it must have been funny, because there it is. The real smile. You can tell because you can’t see my eyes. I get super squinty when I smile because of my round face and my big cheeks. So when I make my picture smile I try to make sure to open my eyes as wide as I can.

I love the gorgeous glowy light in this one. The smile is good, still pretty genuine and I kept my eyes mostly open, only a little squinty.

This is the one we used for the firm website, but in black & white. Total picture smile, with big wide open eyes and everything. Looks a little fake and crazed if you know me, but I think if you don’t I just look nice and you can actually see my eyes.

The wind in the hair! Love it! The wind was perfect that day!

So the last ones were mostly for fun and just to have some fabulous pictures of me. I beyond love them!

The next two are my absolute favorites.

I can’t tell if I like the color or black & white one better. I mean the black and white is so dramatic, the light and contrast are just perfect, but the color with the goldeny sunset light in my blonde hair and then there’s the eyes. I mean, can you ever get enough of those blue eyes of mine?!

And this last one Amy says is for the cover of my non-existent country album.

Thank you again Amy! I know I say it all the time, but you really are the best! You really know how to make a girl look and feel absolutely beautiful!

p.s. Amy is in Italy right now!! Shooting what I know will be an incredibly gorgeous wedding! Super jealous! You all should follow her personal blog and professional blog for the pictures which I’m sure will start appearing in the next few weeks.

I’m Not a Businessman, I’m a Business, Man

For the last couple of months I’ve been telling you all that I was working but haven’t yet revealed what I am doing. Well, here’s the post everyone has been waiting for.

Late in June, my friends Erin and Joseph asked me to join the firm they had started following law school, Le + Pelletier, LLP.  They told me I could have my own practice in any area that I’d like and that I was welcome to open a satellite office wherever I liked. So, I found some office space in Valencia and began working to prepare to take clients.

I’m happy to announce that I’m officially open for business. Check out my fancy business cards:

Here comes the part where I plug my services:

I practice Estate Planning which means that I help clients to create a plan through the use of wills, trusts, and other legal instruments to protect their families and their assets if anything were to happen to them.

I really believe in what I do. It’s important to think about what our families will have to deal with if anything happens to us. Creating an estate plan can really help to provide families with a guide for how you want your affairs handled. It really is a gift that you give your loved ones to protect them and make their period of transition smoother and more comfortable.

A lot of people think that Estate Planning is only for the wealthy, but everyone needs a plan, no matter how much or how little they have to pass on. This is especially true for parents of minor children. All of you parents out there NEED at least a will to establish permanent guardianship of your children if anything happens to you, but you also need to plan for the immediate short-term if  you don’t come home from your date night. You need to make sure your babysitter knows what to do and who to call, so that your kids will not have to spend a night in child protective services.

Please feel free to check out the Estate Planning page and my bio on the firm website for more info. And you can always email me at mkeegangross@lepelletier.com if you have an questions, want more information, or want to set an appointment for a free consultation! I will, of course, give discounts on my services to friends, family, and blog readers alike.

Tomorrow I’ll show you some of the photos that Amy took for me during our photoshoot for my headshot for the firm’s website! I’m so excited! I’ve been waiting to show you all these! They are just too fabulous!


Fabulous Friday: Shimmery Fall Eyes

I pulled out my fall colored eye shadows this week. I was so excited. I’m all about great eye shadow.

I have this lovely palette of fall eye colors that I picked up last year from Bobbi Brown. Remember how I said I was a lazy shopper? Well almost all my furniture is Ikea, most of my clothes are Ann Taylor, and pretty much all of my makeup is Bobbi Brown. Maybe I’m just a brand loyalist, not a lazy shopper, that sounds better, right?

They don’t make this palette anymore, but I did find a similar one here. Or you can go here and buy the individual metallic shades in Raisin, Champagne Quartz, and Velvet Plum.

p.s. I told Josh that he should keep that picture of my eyes on his desktop at work so he would remember that I was always watching him! Hahahaha! Also, am I a great smizer or what! Hahahaha!
