How to capture those timelessly intimate wedding photos: ⬇️

•Lighting- natural light all the way! Focusing on only available light sources and using it to your advantage is great for portraits. It’s flattering to the skin and gives people a glowing effect. There’s less equipment needed, and it’s a good option for those camera-shy couples. Heavy lighting equipment can make people feel overwhelmed, which can be reflected in the photos.
•Location- get outside and dance with nature! The natural color tones and wide range of backdrops make for a huge variation in the wedding style and gives the clients and the photographer options. Natural light and color will freshen the photo’s appeal. Play with depth, angles, and shutter speed to get some really unique shots.
•Attitude- the most important ingredient for this recipe! The couple’s energy levels and mood are feeding off each other, and when it’s time for those portraits, your attitude contributes as well. Slow down, take a breather, and focus on capturing the beauty of the couple and their love. I get that wedding photography can seem stressful at times, but remember why you’re there and what you’re there for.

It was a long time coming…but we’re back in business, baby!! 🎉🥳

After taking quite a bit of time off from the commercial side of growing a business, I buckled down and focused on building myself to be better and portray a better brand. The last year has been full of shooting private events and capturing breathtaking sessions for some absolutely beautiful people…soon to be revealed. 😏

But, I’m happy to be here and ready for another big season this year. Back and ready to bring it!

Helpful Reminder on this Sunday afternoon:
Do it for YOU.

Open that business for YOU. Set your prices for YOU. Set boundaries for YOU. I just took a two-week break from everything. I didn’t do any sessions, I didn’t make any posts. Yeah, it was hard because I felt I was letting my future clients and my followers down, but in the end I took a break for myself and my well-being. I didn’t let the guilt of expectations and presentation get to me because they’re not beneficial to my work or my success. Rest is good. Rest is necessary. It’s not a bad thing to need rest. But do it for YOU. You are in charge of your work and your business. You are the one who calls the shots and makes the changes. Don’t let someone else dictate what you do with your work, because that’ll be the quickest way to burn-out in your passion.

What’re you doing for YOU this next week?

Being a photographer is so much more than snapping a picture and slapping a color palette over the top of it.
👇🏻
• It’s striving to capture the real and the raw.
• It’s meeting with and learning about people. ALL people. It’s about connection.
• It’s about speaking truth and life through pictures as proof that all people are worthy of the beauty they see around themselves and inside of them.
• It’s about vision and voice. Letting uniqueness shine through in both the client and the photographer, and embracing the individuality of each one.
👆🏻
We show up as your personal cheerleaders, passionate about showing up with and for you in all of your seasons of life to help create memories that will be real and authentic.
