"photography doesn't have to be scary! Keep it relaxed and enjoy the moment!"
Let's have some fun creating a mood board and bring the perfect shoot together!
About your boy...
Looking back even to four years ago I wouldn't have believe you if you told me I would be a professional portrait and wedding photographer! Not only that but traveling around the US to serve amazing people!
Like that wasn't even in the plans, I guess the Lord had other ideas!
I knew I didn't want to be another photographer that just took photos! I wanted it to be:
1. More than a photo shoot
2. A Place you're comfortable in
3. Photos that are meaningful and creatively beautiful!
Personally, I get really self-conscious when taking or getting my own photos taken! Haha might seem ironic being a photographer, but if I'm honest the camera can be really intimidating! Not only that...if you know me, It might be hard to believe that I'm an introvert by nature!
Right, doesn't sound like a great mix when it comes to being a photographer!!
Honestly that, and coming from a big family has really played into how I work with my clients.
One of my biggest things is to make sure you're comfortable and enjoy the shoot! Yes, I want you to love the pictures as much as I do! I also want you to love the whole process of the shoot! From having fun creating a mood board in your downtime, to having an amazing relaxing shoot!!
Words I live by as a photographer:
"Someone can take a good photo, but the best photos are the ones with the raw emotion! "
