Isn’t Ashley just gorgeous?! I don’t think she could’ve taken a bad picture! She’s a prop-aholic just like me, so when she showed up with her own stuff, I squealed with excitement. I love using clients’ props as it makes the pics so much more personal. Ashley you are beautiful and so was your wedding… and I can’t wait to post those pics too. Happy Honeymooning!
Leave some love for Ashley below!
I got a great chance to travel up to Wyle to visit with my friend Jenni. She has been blessed with two sets of twins (yep I said two!)….. four wonderful girls! They are all absolutely adorable. At first I wasn’t sure how to wrangle four babies under 18months, so I roped my bestie (and Jenni’s college roomie) into to going with me, and overall it worked out fabulous. We went to a field in town and I set up “stations” so we could quickly move the girls from one to another without a lot of set up between each (we all know babies don’t last long for pics) and we were lucky…. only one small meltdown! I’m so excited to watch these girls grow up…. as I know they will be the best of friends!
Ohhhh how I am soooo addicted to Pinterest! Aren’t we all! So is it your friend or you foe?
For Photographers (or at least me)… it’s both! I LOVE getting on there and stretching my creative juices, seeing different angles, and new perspectives. All photogs get in an occasional rut sometimes and need a creative boost…. Pinterest is mine! (and sleep!)
For Clients…. they love getting on there and looking up what outfit combos to wear, poses, and shot ideas that they hope to get at their session(s).
For both Photographers and Clients… please let me say…. We all love Pinterest! Here comes the BUT…… we all need to be reminded of one VERY IMPORTANT thing! Everyone is different with different personalities!!! I can’t stress this enough. All Photographers have a different “eye” for what they see thru a lens and how they might edit that image. As well as all clients have different personalities and even though that pose it cute… not all clients can pull it off to look natural.
I myself put a lot of thought into targeted images I want from a session and I have a natural workflow planned in my head for things to happen naturally to keep clients loose and to get the fun unexpected shots. If you are a client of mine and see something on Pinterest you like, please feel free to share the link with me BEFORE the session date! (and please keep the links to about 2-3) I’ve had clients get on their phone and study images during a session to get an exact shot, but they worry about the “exactness” so much that is NEVER looks natural! So please share with me a few days before and I can, for the most part, try to work it into the natural flow of the session…. and then please leave the phone in the car. 🙂 I will stress again, that even though things are cute on Pinterest, it does not mean that it will be cute for you when aiming for a certain pose!
The best advice I can give to potential clients is….
Truly look at a photographer’s portfolio online…. find one you like…. and “trust” them!
