Shooting from the Hip, or why’d I get a drone anyway?

Just because you have a drone doesn’t mean you have to shoot from super way up high! Shoot from the hip you fools. All sharp-shooter, rooting-tooting cowboy, video junkies do!!!!

When I started getting intrigued with drone photography and the videos drones captured, I looked first at the Anafi (a drone by a French company called Parrot.)

The Anafi Drone… sure, sure it has all the usual bells and whistles. (Insert my boring monotone voice here). Giving you a ton of sleep inducing specs; I’ll wake you when this painful part is over, and we get back to the fun stuff.

It’s got 4K video, yada yada…. 21 megapixel DNG capabilities, blah blah blah. Pssst, it’s safe to come out now, the nerdology has left.

Movie made with Parrot anafi Drone Drone Parrot Anafi edited DNG in PS video edited in divimci Resolve Still loving the 4k capabilities of this drone by Parrot. It's the PARROT ANAFI check it out!!! and please like and subscribe to my channel and check out my work at: http://www.pimentelportfolio.com instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drone_portf...

If you know me and are reading this after watching my YouTube video, you are either a Portrait Photographer, someone I’ve shot in studio, or someone who knows me and my love for nerdy photo, techie stuff. So, endure, you might learn something new, useful or something that the next time you see me you can talk about and I’ll pay attention to our convo for 3.5 seconds, before my mind drifts off to…where can I get a cold brewed grande with salted Carmel infused whip? Or is that an Apple Watch you have on?

So, now that we are back. I’ve prob told you over a chipotle burrito the following:

(Insert my monotone voice)

The Anafi had me at 21 mega- whatever and 4K whatcha-ma-call-it video.

But, pssstttt , before you tap outta the tech headlock I have you in….here’s a little something I’ll let you in on about the Anafi…

Ok, insider info here, listen up Girl Scouts. If you wanna get your diddy badge in Drone Video… so you can:

1. Obtain a Merit for your sash.

2. Create really cool, cinematic footage.

3. Be one of the Uber cool kids riding one-wheeled skateboards, chewing watermelon flavored sour patch kids. (Which I love by the way)

   Then; you must know that the thing that makes the Anafi Drone a Videógrafo dream come true isnt all my boring monotone voices info. No, kids of Toyland, my pretties, my techie- junkies, goo-goo doll loving idiots. The thing that makes it so Ice cream cool is, that it has no sensors blocking ground-up shooting.

   Oh ! HELL YES BROTHER!!

   and….. the piece de resistance is, it also has a camera gimble that swings 180 degrees up or down. So yes sports Fans! You can shoot from down low looking up! Or way up high and look strait down with no prop blades in the shot.

   Case in point. Do not rinse and keep repeating the same thing; do something, anything Different. Be who you are. Be A Creative.

   Cheers,

   Oh, P.S.

   I can listen to you for longer then 3.5 seconds if you include the following words in your lingo: Camera, tacos, editing, Subaru, dog, espresso and a few others 😎 Cheers till next time.

   Keep it real!

You Are Your Brand

Kansas City Photographer Kimberly Pimentel created  this Portrait of business  owner  Jason Williams.  

I’ve been creating portraits for Jason since 2017, and this year we also photographed his fiancé.  

Each time Jason is photographed it’s a journey. He  is a intellectual sensitive energetic man and I know when we photograph him it will be a lesson in branding.

Headshot portraits are the first step of creating your social media look. You have to present yourself in a professional way. Jason knows this and that’s why he chooses professional photographers to capture and create his yearly look.  We do business branding headshots for people who know that their look must be honest and professional in order to be effective.  They chose me to create the look for them. Because they can trust me with their image and know I will not let them down.

In order for branding to be effective the main rule of thumb is, it must be honest and Jason portrait’s encompass him completely and honestly.  He is his one man. There are no pretentious feelings when he sits for me. It’s all him 100 percent and in this honesty we create these intense portraits of him, for him.  

Im sure I’ll Photograph Jason next year and continue to capture him in branding portraits.  Watching him become more successful as we also grow our portrait business it’s a interesting symbiotic relationship and I’m glad I met him and and thankful he trusted me with making his portrait. I enjoy seeing people grow and become the portrait and embrace their self strengths. And creating portraits for them gives me a unique window to see them grow. 

We can assist you by creating a Professional Headshot that will capture you.  

 Kimberly Pimentel is  owner and Photographer at Pimentel Portfolio a Kansas City based Portrait business.

She is a member of the Professional Photographers ( PPA) of America, also, member of Professional Photographers of Greater Kansas City( PPGKC). 

She is also a Accredited Portrait Masters Photographer. Her images have been awarded and published.

I Wanted to let you know something important!

I just wanted to tell you what you what a good thing you have done by scheduling your mother daughter portrait.  It is such a long term powerful thing even a  character building process.

Legacy Mother Daughter Portrait on Canvas

You may not even realize how powerful this simple act  of creating a portrait is but, trust me what you have allowed to be created is a life lesson for you and your daughter.

It’s s lesson in the strength of motherhood,  you have shown her how a mother’s job of creating life and the passing of genetic characteristics is so amazing. And you have shown her how important she is as a daughter in this family. You have given her a place in the family matriarch line.  For we all know how important the Family portrait becomes as time passes. How fragile these ties can be and how history holds true to the impact of a family portrait.

The act of having a mother daughters portrait made for you and her is something she will never forget. The look on her face as she proudly placed her hand on her mothers hand and gazed up to our camera as we captured that moment for you is now a memory captured and will be on your wall then hers then her daughters and so on.

It’s amazing and  we just wanted you to know what a amazing gift you have provided her. It’s character building to know your mom loved you so much that she wanted to capture your relationship.

What a gift!  What a life lesson to show a young girl the importance of their place in the family.

You go mom!!  You have created a legacy portrait.

You rock!!

A Mother’s Day Portrait. Or, a Super-Hero in hiding.

When you are a child you see your mother through the eyes of a child.  You see her as your heart does. With no expectations of any shortcomings, instead you see all her strengths.   

Mother Daughter Portrait captures the moment of a lifetime. Image by Pimentel Portfolio LLC

Your child sees you as the caretaker of their lives. They see you as the teacher of their life lessons. You show them how to be a loving, caring human. You show them how to give and Give of themselves with little thought of what will I receive in return.  

When they see you they don’t see you as tired, or with a few extra pounds or your hair not being perfect.  When they look at you they see Love and that is the best mirror in the world. Your child deserves to have that time captured in a portrait.

Daughter and Mother captured in time. Image by Pimentel Portfolio LLC.

Because, guess what mom, to them you are a super-hero! And, you are!  You bounce back from a 12 hour day of work with no food in your stomach and get them ready for dance, guitar class, swimming lessons or any other activity. With no thought of your own self care you’d give them anything you have just to make sure they want for nothing.  And that is what a Super-hero does.

So, rememberer when you are so tired you are falling asleep in mid sentence and when your feet hurt so bad at the end of the day., You will always be their Hero!

Marketing Yourself on Social Media

The beauty of today’s Social Media Market is that the world of Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat are FREE. And as a business owner FREE is GREAT. But, no one ever handed out a Manuel on how to market on social media the right  way. 

Here’s our top 5 points to consider when starting your buisness media presence. 

Headshot created by Kansas City Photographers Pimentel Portfolio LLC.

1. Your face is the face of your new Buisness. Get a professional headshot of yourself. Use your headshot for all your media outlets.  It often amazes us when we do sessions for clients and then go to look at thier media links and never see the images they paid for to be made in action.

2.  First appearances are everything !  Your mom used to tell you that and it’s true! As a representative of your business it’s up to you to display professionalism.  Have a professional Social Media Video made for your business.

3.  Be Neutral, Truth Hurts.  Ok this one is a bit political but hang in there. It’s for your own good. Be careful with your posts to be neutral. Don’t take this personally.  It just allows you to reach more customers who want to hire you.  

4. Don’t be repetitive on your media business posts. You know you hate it when a buddy post his football party pics on Facebook and the same one on Instagram. Switch it up a bit. 

5.  Media presence is the knock on the door in today’s selling world. And quite frankly it’s no longer a “Hi! This is me!” But a “ Hi, this is what I can produce for you !” Be yourself and show your stuff!  

The opportunity to grow yourself comes hand in hand with growing your business base. Network, chat, meet and greet as many people as you can. And remember EVERYONE is a potential client. 

Cheers!

Staying Connected to the Creative.

As a Business owner and an entrepreneur there are consistent elements of workflow that must be achieved with every clients Portraits.  As we all know, a successful business must have a consistent product to be achieved repeatedly in order to have what we call “staying power”. 

The rules of workflow for portrait photography, combined with lighting rules and posing rules, all become a language of work in our studio and editing space. And these elements create our ability to our staying power.

Here lies the conundrum; in order to remain in the creative spirit, and to let our ideals flow as a Company, we have to keep igniting our Creative side.  This can be done in many ways.  We find that music, the sister art to the visual arts, is a very impactful way of getting the creative ball rolling.  

 When creating the Artistic piceces it’s easy to just let inspiration flow. And the process becomes more of a release from the workflow of the Portrait side of our business.  These pieces are just the beginning of the creative journey. 

“Symphony of Tides”  

What starts as a simple collage of two Lovers we shot at a lighting seminar, soon became a means of transporting my ideals into a shawdowy dream place; the place I like to think all my artistic ideals live. Using seascapes from a trip to the east coast, a place that signifies freedom for me, and a double-exposed black and white silhouette layered into the image to signify the dualness of two people finding love; all resulted in a true “Symphony of Tides”. 

When I create these images there are no rules, no guidelines, just the pure creative thought-flow that hopefully inspires others to look at things differently.

Celebrating Maternity with a Legacy Portrait. 5 reasons to have a Maternity Portrait Created.

It’s 2018, but that will be gone in a whistle and 2019 is towering ahead.  Time marches on fast. And with time comes change.  The one thing we have seen change in the Portrait Industry is the celebration of the Maternity portrait.   

 “Beauty in Motherhood of Grace” the Title of this Legacy Portrait for the mother to be.

Women use to hide this time in thier lives. And Rarely had pictures taken and even more rare if you look back to images in the 70’s - and 80’s were there any maternity portraits. But, in the last decade the Marernity Portrait has become more and popular.  And, why shouldn’t it?  Women should celebrate this time of strength, courage, and maternal power.  We love creating mternity portraits for families.  It’s such a unique way for a family to have a legacy to carry on in the form of Art.  So, let’s begin our top 5 reasons to have a Prpfessional Maternity Portrait created.

A Dreamy Portrait by Pimentel Portfolio LLC

Top 5 reasons to have a professional portrait created during your maternity. 

1.  We all know that when we look at family images from realitives we have all played the guessing game of who was grand-ma carrying in this image.  It’s part of who we are as families to have these movements.  And becomes part of our social makeup. 

2.  You create a legacy to hand down when you capture historical moments of maternal portraits.   One never knows what the future holds we may have captured the maternal portrait of a future leader.  

3.  Maternity is a journey and should be honored for women.  They give of themselves completely for these 9 months and continue to nuture for-ever.  Celebrate this !!

4.  What a gift for a child to have forever and to pass down to grand children and great grandchildren.  Family trees are filled with images and the maternal portrait carries the unique stamp of two lives the child and the maternal side. 

5.  You create a Legacy Portrait with the maternal portrait.  You celebrate the strength of the mother and the love of her family for what she does in the carrying on of the lineage through time.

The Portrait by Kimberly Pimentel

I am a Portrait Photographer.

I capture and preserve portraits for people so they can see and embrace their real selves as others see them.

I remember with fondness years ago as I was purchasing my first L series professional lens. It was a Canon 50 mm 1.2 L. As the young clerk at the local electronics store where I had  purchased  the lens smiled at me and said, 

Portrait of Flamenco Dancer

“Wow your getting the 50mm 1.2! That’s a amazing lens you must shoot a lot of portraits?”

I replied “yes I Shoot only Portraits”

#thebeautyofyou

Portrait of Ballet Dancer Roxi Henrici

     He replied , “ Someday.... I’d love to own that lens , but portraits are hard to shoot.”

     - I thought as I walking out the door  clutching  my new glass  to my chest I love creating Portraits and  for me Someday had begun.

I have throughout my career as a Photographer shot many  different Prime lenses. I’ve owned a 28mm, a 85mm a 135mm, but never have I owned a Pro Canon Lens. Nor would I ever have thought I could own a Canon Pro lens.

Portrait of Entrepreneur.

   Let’s start with where I came from to explain who I am as a Photographer.  I came from very meager beginnings don’t get me wrong I was by all means from a middle class family, But my family worked very hard  to achieve where they are now.

     My grandparents had been struggling Migrant workers from the City of Chiuauau Mexico.  And they came to America to better themselves . And, my parents  with this same ethic had instilled in us from a very young age that to get anywhere in life one must become educated and work hard. We had a good life growing up in the country , fishing and playing in the fields instead of working in them. All because my grandparents had a dream and changed their lives for my parents and then me.  

#thebeautyofyou

Portrait of Male Model

      Who know where my love of Photography and capturing portraits comes from? I like to think of  it as starting early in myself as a way of learning about people. Studying their eyes and. Facial features, As my grandparents spoke no English and I no Spanish and growing up in a bilingual family.  We, my brother and sisters would sit at the dinner table with our families trying to comprehend conversations through the facial emotions. 

Maybe my love for capturing portraits comes from the struggle of my grandparents. Maybe it’s because I know that everyone deserves the opportunity to tell their story.

And that the story can be seen through the eyes of the people I Create portraits for.

#thebeautyofyou

      In the eyes of the young Actor, the emotive eyes of a  dancer, and loving eyes of the bride for her groom, they all tell a story.  What story do your eyes tell?

Let me help you tell your story and capture it in time.  So that long after you and I have left this world , your story will live on.  I am a Portrait Photographer and my images tell your story. 

When was the last time you were photographed?

Kansas City Business Owner Media Portrait

Portrait of Kansas City Business Owner Dawn Hupp.  Anytime we do a Portrait for someone we learn about them, and we learn from them.  Dawn is a millennial entrepreneur who owns Houndstooth Planning Company in Kansas City.  

Image done by Kimberly Pimentel owner of Pimentel Portfolio LLC, for Dawn Hupp Kansas City Buisness owner . 

As we culled through her portrait gallery, we chatted about images and being women  business owners.  She asked me what my opinion was on the above image being a sureshot Media Portrait.  I told her I loved the image but I saw the ones where she was looking straight at camera as being more approachable and powerful .  She thought about that for a moment and said

'Yeah, but I'm a millinial and we do things differently.'

As business owners it's essential that we do whats good for the process not just the moment.  Be yourself and trust your decisions.  And trust that gut instinct that you have to value yourself and place a high value on your self worth and what you do.   

   When your ready to let us create a powerful media for your platform we are ready!

Portrait Session for Kansas City Buisness Owner

  We were fortunate to shoot with Marlene Ollier a Local Kansas City Buisness owner.  Aesthetician and Owner of The Clearest Hydrafacial Skin Care, Marlene called us after being gifted a Portrait session for her birthday. 

We consulted with Marlene and determined that she was interested in shooting in Historical Dearborn Missouri's downtown. 

The client Marlene Ollier and Photographer Kimberly Pimentel owner of Kansas City Buisness PimentelPortfolio LLC 

After we knew the location. We scouted the area.  This step of location scouting is a imperative step in your session workflow. It allows your creative team to develop a pathway of creating.  

Below is a image of the Hotel in Dearborn MO. That remains a iconic landmark in this small town with history that dates back to the Civil War.  

  The owner of the above Hotel and a city matron of the area  both came up to us during the shoot. We chatted about history and Due to our researching the area and knowing some town facts, they shared more knowledge and we were invited to shoot thier again.

This step of researching and communication, is imperative as a professional photographer to let people in the area know who you are and what you are doing. Remain within the public areas of a location. Stay on public sidewalks and be respectful of the area. 

Client Marlene Ollier And Lighting assistant Roxane Henrici enjoy a giggle before the shoot.

We all enjoyed our journey back in time in this quaint Missouri City.  I encourage you to read of this city and learn about it's history.  And thank you Dearborn Missouri for allowing us to capture another moment in your cities history.

Kansas City Photographer on Entrepreneurship.

    Do what you love in life, and you'll love your life. Entrepreneurs often walk to the best of a different drum.  They live life facing challenges of career moves and often self doubt thier creative skills.

     People will doubt your ideals and question your paths at times. I still cringe when I think of someone telling me  " yeah someday that might be a business for you!", or things like " I've seen you do way better". Comments like these and self doubt can lead some entrepreneurs to kick their dreams to the wayside.  

    But at the end of my day running my Photography Portrait business I know two  definitive things:  

   1. It's my dream  

   2. It's what I love to do

and what it all boils down to in life is "what you create is a biproduct of who you are and your love to create. "

I feel lucky everyday to do what I do.  I meet interesting people learn about them and capture their energy in a portrait session. I couldn't ask for a better medium for my creative inner nature.

Pimentel Portfolio Studio creating a Look for a client.

We all walk through our lives placing markers on events that are meaningful to us.  Journeys we've been on good and trying. We all look back on memories. The thoughts we carry with us become postcards of the mind. 

When your lucky enough to be doing a Profession that you love, you soon realize how the pieces of the puzzle fit so well. When  your engaged in tasks that allow you to create and be in your element the workflow is rewarding instead of daunting.

Tether shooting a session for Male Model Jacoby of Kansas City.

Life does move so fast it's a challenge  to keep up the pace at times. But, I have realized that if you are involved in a career that you Love you will Love your Career.

     Nothing's ever perfect and it all takes work and commitment to the goal. But, heres my list of three pivotal steps, to increasing your life happiness ratio.

   First, find what you love to do. Really think about this. Some of us take decades to find this key. Try on many hats and explore.

  Build a a footpath to your goal. look at others journeys. Learn and research your ideals. Educate yourself as much as possible. The most beautiful of bridges have crumbled when the dreamer forgot to see the river nearby and how it flooded occasionally.

Surround yourself with a Army of associates, family and creatives. You need have to have sounding boards for your visions, in all facets. From the accountant, the banker, the lawyer the spouse the best friend all will become your extension into your new world, and all are necessary.

Entrepreneurs face difficulties daily when starting new ventures. I have made mistakes on my path, have doubted my art, my self. But defeating attitudes breed defeated ideals. I choose these days to wake up each morning and think of ideals and plans to make Pimentel Portfolio bigger and better.  For now it's my creative niche but someday I would love to help others pursue their dreams. Everyone deserves to see a dream come true. For me right now this path is a dream. I can't wait to see where it leads me.

Studio Shoot for Business Look

Today's Business Portrait Shoot with Kansas City Business Owner Dawn Hupp owner of Houndstooth Planning. 

When you decide to do your Business Portrait you want to make sure you choose a Photographer who can capture your personal style elements.  

Your Business Portrait is a Visual calling  card it's the first thing some of your clients will look at as they reference you.  

Kimberly Pimentel of Pimentel Portfolio shooting client images.

A few key things to do to ensure your shoot is top notch.  Talk with your photographer prior about wardrobe.  We suggest clients bring 3 outfits so we have a few options darker colors works best, but a pop of color here or there is a nice element for the eye. A contemporary piece of jewlery or your favorite watch or professional handwriting tool is always a plus.

Prior to your shoot ladies and gents a day at the nail Salon and a trip to your hair care Pro is a must.  Also get plenty of sleep before your shoot and hydrate and eat well. Photoshoots can be fun and should make you feel like a Star!
