“The Book of Siavon” Author Jessica Eppley | Central PA Contemporary Glamour | Shannon Hemauer Photography
Young adult fantasy author, Jessica Eppley, creator of the popular Book of Siavon series, needed updated head shots for her bio page on her website and other marketing material, so she did a full session with me in September.
Jessica isn’t one to wear a lot of makeup or curl her straight hair, but she was up for adventure as she prepared for the release of the fourth book in the series, and wanted to glam things up for her portrait session, which I happily encouraged!
I think she’ll be the first to admit she was nervous before her session, nervous during her session, and nervous after her session (even emailing me worried she’d look “too cute” in her pictures), but she was the most nervous the day of her portrait reveal. But once she saw her images—and took a few deep breathes—she was able to relax and have fun selecting her portrait collection.
Initially she had trouble identifying with the woman in the pictures—could this actually be her?—but she soon came to believe that, YES!, that was her!
If you’d like to met this talented writer, she’ll be at the York Book Expo October 15th from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM—you can purchase her books and get her autograph.
A big thank you to Nath Kreider for hair/makeup.
Until next time,
Shannon
