Best Costumes 2015? Wear Costumes All Year!

Are costumes just for October? I think not! I love costumes and I think dressing up is tons of fun. I've recently took an active approach towards creating my own photography business. I realized there are little things you can do to differentiate/add value to your business.

"Elvis" and Val in Vegas 2015
One way is your style of dress. Clean and professional appearances are essential for business, but what about when you are working with a younger audience or a themed party? What if an option for one of your service provides (Photographer/DJ) showed up at your child's superhero themed party as their archenemy? Maybe even their counterparts? I've seen how costumes even generate smiles on adults when I visited Fremont Street in Las Vegas Nevada. Impersonators were everywhere and everyone wanted to take pictures with them...I did too. I also attended the Evo gaming tournament and cosplay was very popular their too.

So don't let October be the only time you incorporate costumes in your wardrobe. Consider the value they could bring to your business, the fun they generate with children, and how they remind you to always have fun. Many popular costumes this year include the following themes:

Frozen (the movie)
Star Wars
Minions
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Zombies
The Great Gatsby

See my 30 second #DIY #Costume video here: I cut my shapes out free hand, but if you use a foam circle or measuring rulers the appearance can be fined tuned! Materials : Two red poster boards Tape ruler personal hat as a size reference ruler bobby pins apple red inside spray paint - "I took the hat out doors to spray it." Once the energy dome is complete grab a guitar (I used my Wii guitar hero controller), or any other instrument from the Whip It video. To secure the dome to your head you may need to affix a hair pin, wig clips, or cut a whole in the bottom to balance it.  *(caution: test all scenarios (clips/paint/glue) before wearing the dome to ensure comfort and no reactions)  This...
