One of the reasons I love photographing business owners is to help them get the word out about their service or product.  Being able to SHOW your services on your website and social media helps potential customers to envision working with YOU.

In the spirit of promoting other business owners, I’d like to introduce you to one of my recent clients in the Vancouver area. Kareen Van Nen. Kareen has recently opened a Scalp Micropigmentation business in Port Moody and the Vancouver area.

What is Scalp Micropigmentation you might ask? When she inquired to get a photo session together, I had no idea either! I’ve learned that Scalp Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent, realistic hair loss treatment for anyone experiencing balding, thinning or hair loss. I’d heard of people getting semi-permanent tattoo to fill in their eyebrows – this is a similar process to fill in thinning hair on one’s scalp. Makes sense to me!

Kareen and I clicked right away (no pun intended). I loved her no pretense style of communicating. Quick responses. Straight to the point. She’s a busy Mom with 3 children so there’s no time to waste!

I asked Kareen a few simple questions about starting and running her new business venture here in Vancouver.

3 words to describe your style/brand?

• Minimal, trustworthy, professional 

Any advice for someone about to get a photoshoot for their small biz?
