Christine Glenn

Meet Christine!

Christine graduated with her master’s in business administration while practicing full-time as a Nurse Practitioner. We love a smart, well educated, driven QUEEN so I was honored to shoot her cap and gown session. The Auburn University campus is the perfect backdrop for new grads because there are so many different areas to shoot. You have Samford Hall, Toomers, The WAR EAGLE mural, the AU sign, and many more spots to choose from. Your gallery will have lots of variety for sure! My favorite shot has to be throwing the cap in front of Samford. It’s always a gallery favorite! The best advice I have for scheduling a cap and gown shoot before graduation is to plan ahead. Almost every grad is out there a few days prior to graduation trying to get the good spots so be sure to work with your photographer to plan out the locations and preferred poses before the shoot. Having a plan going in will save you time and allow your photographer to structure the session so you get the most out of your time.

4 Reasons You Need Professional Headshots

Whether you are looking for a new job, starting a new business, or have an online presence, an updated professional headshot is a must.

1. You're Still Using Selfies

Selfies can hold over for a little while, but nothing beats a professional headshot to make you stand out from the crowd and to show everyone you're the real deal. I'm even guilty of doing this! Lord knows I would rather be behind the camera than in front, but it is so important to showcase yourself in the best light possible.

2. You're Ready to Establish Your Personal Brand

Your headshots are likely to be published on your company’s website, on your personal portfolio, on social media, and in countless other places. To keep your personal brand consistent, you need the right headshots. Consider an expertly done, polished head shot as an investment in your future as a business professional.

3. You Need More Variety

Having one great headshot isn’t always enough. As you make a name for yourself, your profile is likely to be published on a wide range of websites and social media accounts. Over time, sharing the same headshot can make you look out of touch.

To avoid including the same photo every time you speak at an event or join a professional network, get an updated set of headshots.

4.You’ve Changed Your Look

If you have ever spent time and money on professional headshots, you might be inclined to keep reusing them to get the most out of them possible, However, if you no longer look anything like your old headshots, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Any time you make a significant change to your appearance, such as altering your hairstyle or color, or gaining or losing significant weight, it’s important to update your headshots so they are creating an accurate depiction of you for clients and colleagues.

If you and/or your team are in need of updated professional headshots, I can help with that. Think about what makes sense for you, be that an outdoor setting with natural light, or a more studio-style professional portrait. I am set up to accommodate you either way.

Get in touch with me today to schedule your new professional headshots!

It’s Official! Audra Michelle Photography is Serving Auburn/Opelika!

Hey friends! I just wanted to hop on and say thanks for making your way to my website and taking the time to read! Your support means so much to me!
Most of you know me already but there are a few that have found me from other places, so I also wanted to take the time to introduce myself and give you a little background.
Michelle is my middle name and how most everyone knows me. I have an amazing husband, Bernard and 2 incredible daughters, McKenzie 18 and Kennedy 10.
I work fulltime in Human Resources but also have a love/passion for photography.
My dream job as a little girl was to be a National Geographic Photographer. The ability to get paid to travel and tell incredible stories through photographs was mesmerizing to me! Just think of it still gets me. How blessed they are!!
I became a mother pretty young, and my focus was more on practicality and stability than chasing a career that required traveling. I never lost my love for photography though. As a matter of fact, my father and his best friends are incredibly talented photographers and journalist, and I've always admired them.
That really brings me to where I'm at today. As my children grow and I become more stable in my life and career I wanted to rekindle that passion for photography. I dove deep into studying all I could, still am really, and now as a mother I really find family and lifestyle photography to be incredibly important and beautiful. Still portraits are nice but it's the candid's captured during sessions that really tell the story and represent the people being photographed. That's what makes them really special and honestly lights me up.
As I started to learn and grow, I decided to take this journey to the next level so that I could not only continue learning but serve other people as well!!
Here's to following dreams, better late than never!! Thanks again for your support and taking the time to read.
XOXO
