What to Wear for your Engagement Session

Talk to your engagement session photographer ahead of time about whether or not wardrobe changes will be possible, and if so, how many. 

Bring multiple outfits and makeup to the shoot, even if you don’t necessarily plan on changing. You never know what will happen, especially if it is on location or outdoors. 

Communicate with your fiancé about what you want your photographs to reflect. Are you a laidback couple? Maybe you want to show your personality by only wearing casual clothes. Just make sure that your expectations are the same. To you “casual” may mean a nice tee shirt and jeans, to him it might mean whatever is on his floor and relatively clean, despite the wrinkles and stains. 

Make sure that you coordinate. This doesn’t mean you have to wear matching argyle sweaters (really, don’t), but the colors shouldn’t clash. Have fun! Come with positivity and adaptability. The biggest thing that can ruin your e-session is if you are clearly unhappy.

And the search through many files of photos has yet to come to an end. I have come across a shoot from a couple years ago and have re-edited a few. I now give you Ms Haley Jane!

Ups and Downs

Being an artist, or any human for that matter, there will be many ups and downs in life. Last night I received an email from a prospective wedding client saying that another photog was offering a better deal on payment plans. To be honest I was a bit discouraged as I had already come down on my price for her as I felt that with this client I would get more out of the pure love of the art than making serious profits on the job. At any rate, I got over it. Wrote her back and said that I understand that cushion is needed in this recession and bid her farewell and happy journeys. 

An hour later I was in bed watching Karate Kid, the original, which I felt was quite fitting. Daniel San never gave up with the support of his mentor mixed with the pure fight in his soul. This reminded me that when one door closes, do not fret for another shall open. It is up to me to walk through! 

That door opened this morning as I opened my email to find that I had sold a print on Fine Art America. Rock on.

Never give up or feel like one down will hold you. As the saying goes there is always ups and downs, not just ups and not just downs.
