Don (Elrod Digital) has been the photographer for our large annual 3 day high school gathering for many years. He does an excellent job capturing thousands of photos and has these photos posted and ready for our review immediately after the event. I highly recommend Don for your photographic occasions.

Don does a great job taking photos at our big 2 high schools reunion each year. He gets great candid shots, as well as posed photos. We make wonderful memories each year and looking back at all the photos Don takes, helps keep them alive. He does a good job taking our class pictures too. Every 5 minutes he has a new group getting photographed. That’s quite a challenge, but he gets it done. Thank you Don for helping all of us oldies but goodies hang on to our special memories.

Elrod Digital has been the official photographer for the Annual Harding/ West Mecklenburg '60s reunion for many years now. Don and his wife Melissa are always on time, open to suggestions, have all equipment needed, and have good ideas for both casual and group photos. They are considered a valuable part of our reunion. I highly recommend them.

I have been partnering with Elrod Digital for over 3 years. As a Realtor I value the convenience of his services, he and his staff always being professional and dependable. He uses easy to use portal and to download pictures. Also pre-made marketing materials are great! I will continue using his services for my clients and highly recommend to other Realtors.

Write in this style: Hold onto your hats, folks! We're just one sleep away from your grand debut in front of my lens, and I'm more excited than a puppy with a new chew toy! Get ready to unleash your inner supermodel (or at least your most photogenic professional self).
Now, let me introduce you to the dream team that'll be making the magic happen:

Yours truly, Don "Hawaiian Shirt" Elrod - Chief Memory Maker and Keeper of the Camera
Melissa, my better half and Lighting Guru Extraordinaire (She's the real star, I just push buttons)
David, my son and potential Assistant Light Wrangler/Videographer (He might pop in to capture some behind-the-scenes gold - think "America's Next Top Professional")

We're aiming to arrive about 15 minutes early. Not because we're overeager (okay, maybe a little), but to set up our gear and scout out the best spots to make you look like you just stepped off the cover of "Fortune 500 Fabulous" magazine.
Remember, tomorrow is all about capturing the real you - the one that crushes deadlines, nails presentations, and still has time to perfect that coffee order. So bring your A-game, your best outfits, and that million-dollar smile. We'll handle the rest!
Can't wait to see you strut your stuff tomorrow. Sleep tight, and don't let the pre-shoot jitters bite!
Cheers,
Don "Ready to Make You Famous" Elrod
P.S. If you wake up with a sudden case of "what do I wear?!" panic, just remember - anything looks better than my Hawaiian shirt. But hey, if you want to twin, I won't judge! 

I hope this email finds you well and not frantically raiding your closet! 😅 Your headshot session with me, Don Elrod, is just 5 days away, and I wanted to share some quick tips to help you look your best (without losing sleep over it).
First things first: breathe. Remember, this isn't a fashion show - it's about capturing the awesome professional you already are. Here's a quick rundown on what to wear:

Colors: Think mid-tone marvels like burgundy, navy, or emerald green. They'll make you pop without looking like a traffic light. 🚦
Patterns: Solid colors are your friends. Leave those hypnotic pinstripes at home - we want people focused on your winning smile, not wondering if their screen is glitching.
Fit: Aim for the Goldilocks zone - not too tight, not too baggy, but just right. Your clothes should hug you like a supportive friend, not a clingy ex.
Necklines: V-necks, boat necks, or crew necks are all great. Let's avoid turtlenecks unless you're going for the "floating head" look.
Accessories: Less is more. We want "professional", not "Christmas tree". 🎄
Grooming: Stick with your usual style. This isn't the time to test if you can pull off that mohawk you've been considering.

Pro tip: Bring a few options. It's always good to have a plan B (or C) in case your favorite shirt decides to play hide and seek with a coffee stain that morning.
Remember, comfort is key. If you feel good, you'll look good. And if all else fails, just imagine me in my signature Hawaiian shirt. Nothing says "trust me with your professional image" quite like pineapples and palm trees, right? 🌴👔
Looking forward to capturing your best professional self!
Best regards,
Don Elrod
P.S. If you have any questions or sudden fashion emergencies, feel free to reach out. I may not be a style guru, but I promise not to suggest matching my Hawaiian shirt... unless you're into that sort of thing. 😉
