Little-Known Tips for a Relaxing Photography Experience | Palm Beach, FL
Moms (or soon to be moms) – this one's for you.
Do you feel nervous when you think about scheduling a photoshoot? Maybe it's not because you're worried about getting your kids to cooperate or figuring out what to wear. Perhaps, it's because you're anxious about how you'll look in the pictures?
I totally get it.
As a mom myself, I understand what it's like to feel heavier than you'd like, or to wish your arms were smaller, or to just not feel your best right now. We can be pretty hard on ourselves, can't we?
So, before you decide that you're not photogenic or that you'd rather just have photos of the kids, let me explain why your photo session with me will be different.
1. I understand lighting, editing and angles
I have a deep understanding of lighting, editing, and angles when it comes to photography. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to mastering these aspects of the craft, all with the goal of making sure every mom looks her absolute best in the photos I take.
When you come to me for a photoshoot, I pay close attention to the lighting. I position you in a way that accentuates your best features and minimizes any areas you might be insecure about. Then, during the editing process, I carefully edit the photos to enhance your natural beauty without making you look unnatural or overly airbrushed.
That's the power of understanding lighting, editing, and angles in photography— it's about more than just taking pictures; it's about making people feel good about themselves. And that's something I'm passionate about delivering to every mom I work with.
2. Knowing what to wear
Let's talk about what you'll wear for your photoshoot!
Have you ever stood in front of your closet, feeling like you have nothing that looks good? I've been there too!
Choosing the right outfit for a photoshoot can be tricky, but it's super important. We'll work together to pick clothes that not only suit your style but also look fantastic on camera. By selecting the right pieces, we'll make sure you feel amazing during the shoot, and that confidence will shine through in the photos.
For example, let's say you're a mom who loves wearing flowy dresses. Together, we'll find the perfect dress (and color) that flatters your figure and complements the scenery. When you see how stunning you look in the photos, you'll realize how much of a difference the right outfit can make!
So, don't worry about what to wear—I've got you covered. Together, we'll create beautiful photos that capture your unique style and personality.
3. Posing Matters
You might not realize it, but even tiny adjustments in how you pose or where I stand can completely change how you look and feel in photos. While we're shooting, I'll be subtly moving around you and even guiding you with suggestions when necessary to help you look your best.
For example, imagine you tell you’re bit self-conscious about your arms. Instead of having them pressed against your body, I might suggest a slight angle or position that elongates your arms and makes you feel more comfortable. These little tweaks might seem minor, but they can have a big impact on the final result.
So, don't worry about feeling forced into stiff or uncomfortable poses. I'll be there to gently guide you through the session, making sure you feel relaxed and confident every step of the way. By the end, you'll be amazed at how natural and beautiful you look in the photos!
4. Capturing real memories
When you're with me, it's not about forcing cheesy smiles with a "Say Cheese!" Instead, we focus on fun and laughter, where genuine moments and reactions shine through.
Have you ever seen those fake smiles people give when they're told to say "cheese"? It's like they're posing for a passport photo, not capturing a real memory. With me, it's different. I may use prompts and suggest activities that bring out genuine joy and emotion.
For instance, imagine you're having a family photoshoot with your kids and partner. Instead of asking everyone to stand still and smile, I might suggest a playful game or activity that gets everyone laughing and interacting naturally. The resulting photos will be filled with genuine smiles and laughter, capturing the true essence of your family bond.
So, when you're with me, you can forget about forced smiles and stiff poses. Instead, get ready for a session filled with joy, laughter, and real memories.
5. I’m more than a photographer, I’m your “partner”
From the moment we start planning until well after the session is over, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
If you're struggling to decide what to wear, you can text me photos of your outfit ideas, and I'll give you honest advice to help you look your best.
If you're worried about your kids being fidgety during the shoot, don't stress! I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve to keep them engaged and happy, from fun games to silly jokes. Plus, I'll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera.
But it's not just about practical help—I'm also here to listen. Whether you have questions, concerns, or just need someone to talk to, I'm always just a message away.
So, when you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting someone to take pictures—you're getting a dedicated partner who's committed to making your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
6. I give you a safe and comfortable space - literally!
When you choose me as your photographer, I value your comfort and safety. That's why many of my sessions are held right in the cozy familiarity of your own home. It's a place where you feel most at ease and natural, which shines through in the photos we capture together.
But maybe you prefer a different setting. That's okay too! You're welcome to come to my studio, where you'll find professional lighting and all the comforts of home, including air conditioning to keep you cool and comfortable. No need to worry about sweating or having to cancel due to bad weather—we've got you covered rain or shine!
Imagine you're a mom getting ready for a family photoshoot. Instead of feeling nervous about posing in a new location, you can relax knowing we'll be shooting in the comfort of your own living room. Your kids can play freely, and everyone can just be themselves, resulting in photos that truly capture the essence of your family.
So whether it's at your place or mine, you can trust that I'll create a safe and welcoming space where you can relax and enjoy the experience of being photographed.
In the end, we've all been there—feeling unsure about how we'll look in photos. But with me by your side, I'll help you see the real you, the beautiful you, in every single image we capture.
