Oh hey, I am back, back again! What have I not been up to?! I am almost done with my third year of college and will leave the country in less than a month for a trip. I have had one of the sweetest years of college ever, and I am so grateful for the people I get to do life with! Being more present in my day-to-day was my goal for this semester, which happened. However, I wasn't consistent on Instagram. I have had such an amazing photography season and look forward to this coming summer!

Should we get engagement photos?! YES, thank you for asking!
As a couple as yourselves this question, when did you both get photos last? Hear me out; sometimes engagement photos are a couple's first photoshoot together! Second, if you are hiring a photographer you have never worked with before, then you haven't ever taken photos together with your photographer for SURE. Third, can you take too many photos together? The answer is always no, haha!

On a serious note, engagement photos allow you to see how your wedding photographer works doing what they love! Taking engagement photos with them also allows you to get comfortable with them, which is essential because they will spend the wedding day with you!

Most importantly, it's a fun way to spend time together and get comfortable behind the camera. Especially if you haven't ever taken pictures together, schedule an engagement session with your photographer! Consider it a date night. You can take pictures, go on a date, NOT wedding plan , and just have fun!

My wedding packages include engagement sessions, and I highly encourage all my couples to do one; you won't regret it!

Should we do a first look?! I am so glad that you asked!

I'm not going to lie to you: I wasn't a massive fan before being a wedding photographer until I began photographing weddings. A wedding day is a celebration, and the people you invite are coming to witness and celebrate with you!

A first look provides a space where the bride and groom can see each other before the ceremony and truly soak in what's about to happen. Let's not miss this significance: you two are coming together and committing your lives together until Christ returns or death does your part; that's HUGE! During this time, you two can exchange letters, pray, and sit in silence. Most of all, take a moment to be together before the celebration.

When I am at the scene of one of these tender moments, all I do as the photographer is capture the moment, but I am not forcing anything along; I will provide enough time for you, as husband and wife-to-be, to take the time you need and allow you to have your moment before the big I do!

One of the best ways to find the best photographer to capture your day is to schedule a consultation call with a photographer you are interested in hiring! I require any couple inquiring to schedule a consultation call with me before officially booking. During this time, I ask questions and share my approach for capturing weddings. I also hear your vision for the day!

However, as the bride and groom during the consultation call, take this opportunity to ask good questions to your wedding photographer. Here are some questions I recommend asking your potential wedding photographer during a consultation call.

Questions:
How many weddings have you shot?
What mistakes have you made in the past, and what have you done to prevent that from happening again?
How do they handle different lighting situations?
What does their backup process look like regarding their photos?
Why are you a wedding photographer? What happens if you’re unable to attend the wedding due to illness or an emergency? Do you have a backup photographer in place?

My name is Ireen, and I own Ireen Mushomi Photography! I specialize in senior and wedding photography! I began taking photos when I was thirteen, and I haven't stopped!

My approach is to provide an experience where you feel comfortable and confident during your session. I desire to deliver galleries that capture the true personality of the person behind the camera and produce images you will cherish forever!

My 2024 year at Ireen Mushomi Photography was one of my favorite years! One of the reasons I do photography is because I get to meet so many people from different life paths. This year, I got to photograph people who became friends and work with some incredible photographers. In 2025, I am excited to see what happens next!

I don't know where you live, but the fall where I am is gorgeous. It is a gift from God that the leaves have transitioned slowly, and the days are warm with a gentle autumn breeze. The autumn weather also makes sessions so enjoyable, and I don't want this season to end.

I started my photography business when I was sixteen years old. What was I thinking? Looking back, I was so timid! It was weird to direct adults and tell them what to do during sessions. It was awkward to say to adults what to wear and what didn't look great on them. During weddings, it was uncomfortable being offered alcohol, even though I couldn't drink. I almost quit my photography business!

Four years later, I am a whole new woman, lol! The confidence that I have now that just came with time. I seriously have grown to love my job so much more!
