Have you ever felt nervous/anxious before a photoshoot? Maybe you’ve thought “ What did I get myself into” or “ I hope they get at least one nice shot”

I’ve found the best way to get people to “Act Natural” isn’t by saying it! No no no. It’s by prompting them to do natural things and capturing those moments instead.

For instance, if you’re not used to posing for the camera (who in the world is used to this?🤷🏾‍♂️) or it makes you feel weird or awkward (most people), I’ll simply have you walk to toward me looking in any direction but the camera.

Guys can put one hand in their pocket (the whole hand...the thumb too gentlemen 🙄) Girls can tuck their hair behind their ear or grab their dress and pull it out into the wind.
With these simple prompts it allows you to warm up a bit and not worry so much about how to move your body or where your arms should be.

Once we shoot like this for a few minutes I show clients the back of my camera and how we already got “One nice shot” in the first five minutes of the shoot. Which always leads to a “Ok, we got this!” followed by a high five lol.

I’m a big fan of switching outfits during shoots. It’s a great way to shoot different looks and keep it fun. When looking back, couples can have a variety of different shots to choose from when they are making prints or albums for their home.

My general suggestion?

Girls: A dress that moves in the wind. A pair of ripped jeans with your favourite sweater.

Guys: A nice pair of shorts with a short sleeve button up. A pair of jeans with a t shirt.

I think it’s funny that I’ve never shot at Duncan’s cove or even been to Duncan’s cove until this year. It has to be one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve done, even with a bag full of camera gear. Shout out to top notch couples that suggest top notch locations. 🙌🏾

How many pictures are on your camera roll? I’m over 17k lol

Do you remember your favourite book as a child? I don’t really consider myself a person that likes to read. I like short and to the point captions or articles and that’s about it.

I realized I was an auditory learner later on in life. I used to love listening to my teachers read books out loud in class. I could imagine what the characters looked like, I pictured the setting and could feel the context of the environment.
•
These days I pretty much only listen to podcasts. I prefer interview style because I love hearing two different points of view. Do you prefer to read a book, listen to an audio book, or listen to a podcast?

We recently bought a time to rise clock for Londyn so she knows when to get up in the morning. The clock will change green when it’s 7:00am on the weekdays or 7:30am on the weekend.
•
She usually wakes up with a “oh yes, it’s greeen” then she runs in our room and tells us to come see lol
•
We’ve found this to be a game changer and would recommend for anyone with a toddler that wakes up at different times in the morning, if they wake up super early, or if you have a newborn with a side of toddler 🙋🏾‍♂️
