A gift for you! We're sharing the love for our anniversary

Time sure does fly when you're having fun. We're excited to share that Anthologie officially turned 5 years old today! We're celebrating with a gift for you. As a token of our gratitude for your years of support, we're offering a 16x20 wall portrait for every family or documentary photography session throughout the month of February.

With February being the month of love, we're asking: Who is in your heart?

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and you don't want to be caught without something sweet for those you love, right? Well, we have the perfect way to show your love year round! This year, every family photo session or documentary photo project in February will include a 16x20 wall portrait (an $80 value) as our gift to you.

We know that love is a powerful emotion, but one that doesn't always have to be about romance. Your love for your niece, your grandfather or your family pet can be every bit as important as the bond between spouses. So, this month why not celebrate the relationship you have with those in your heart?

When your photo session is finished you can rest assured that those special moments won't be lost in the ether or relegated to a life in a hard drive. Instead those memories will make a BIG statement in your home. We will print your favorite image on the finest photographic papers around and present it to you to proudly display for years to come.

To get this wonderful gift for your sweetie simply follow these instructions:

• Contact us {952-232-5830 or info (at) theanthologie.com} to discuss your photo project
• Make sure your photo session takes place by Feb. 28, 2014
• All regularly priced family and documentary photo sessions are eligible
• After your photos are presented online just tell us your favorite
• That's it! We'll print the wall portrait for you and you look like a hero

Minneapolis-St. Paul Business Portraits | Mini Sessions

Join Anthologie for our latest Headshot Happy Hour!

OK, let's be honest. Are you still using a selfie for your professional profile picture online? Yikes! You might be sending the wrong message. In business you always want to dress for the job you want, not the one you already have. Nothing says you don't take yourself too seriously like an over-the-top Instagram filter layered on the photo someone took of you on their cell phone. Don't worry, we're here to help.

Anthologie is offering business profile photo mini sessions at an amazing value. Join us 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Jan. 24, 2014, in Suite 312 of the River Ridge Building; 190 River Ridge Circle; Burnsville, MN. After putting my money where my mouth is and having my own headshots recently updated outdoors (on a blustery -6 degree day), we've decided to change things up a bit. We will be hosting our Headshot Happy Hour indoors for the first time so you won't have to worry about the wind! Included with your session:

• The time and talent of your professional photographer in a relaxed (and warm), natural light setting
• Use to 2 unique final images in perpetuity
• Final edits/enhancements of your 2 best pictures
• Electronic delivery of files in high-resolution and web-resolution
• Black-and-white and color versions of your pictures
• Price: $50

Please reserve your place today, or request additional information by calling 952-232-5830 or emailing info(at)theanthologie.com

Burnsville, MN Business Photographer | Headshot Event

Get a new professional profile photo for only $50

Image is everything. You wouldn’t send your résumé in to a potential employer scrawled out on notebook paper, would you? Of course not. You want to look your best – to be taken seriously. However, many people forget to add this same level of professionalism to their online résumés, specifically when it comes to profile pictures.

Putting your best face forward with a great picture that shows you’re serious about your career can speak volumes to prospective clients, colleagues and business associates. Take that image one step further with a photo that not only shows what you look like, but also showcases your personality and you’ll really stand out from the crowd.

Now you have a chance to stand out, and at an amazing value! Join us 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15 at Heart of the City Park in Burnsville (12600 Nicollet Avenue, Burnsville, MN) for our head shot mini session event. For only $50 you'll receive 2 unique images to spruce up your business profile online and in print applications (regular price $150).

Email us at info@theanthologie.com today or call 612-419-7009 to reserve your space!

Dress for success

We aim to capture your personality with your portrait so it’s important for you to dress in a manner that speaks to who you are and your intended career path. Remember, with business photography, you want to dress for the job you want, not the job you already have. Think about the image you want to project to others and dress accordingly.

• Jackets and coats that are crisp and fitted photograph the best

• Dressing in layers is always a great option for multiple looks

• Solid colors rather than busy patterns add an air of sophistication

• Dark and neutral colors are great for outerwear

• Avoid vibrant colors with shirts unless that’s a part of who you are

• Guys, bring a tie. Ladies, add a scarf. You can always take it off if it’s too formal.

• What’s slimming? Simple, solids, darks, vertical lines and single-breasted suits

It may sound silly, but it’s not a bad idea to practice your smile in a mirror before your session. You may find that your “posed smile” makes you look less approachable. Don’t worry, Anthologie photographer Dan Iverson is a pro at making you relaxed and at ease being yourself in front of the camera.
