Your family is wonderful! You have done an amazing job. :)

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.

Grumpy Old Man

As an artist pent up in a cubicle all day working nimbly on insurance and putting out fires for other people, sometimes a little walk with my camera is needed. Well today was one of those days that aloud for a lunch break and a meander down Pleasant Valley Road. After stopping at the liquor store by the 3 way stop at Bucks Bar Road, you know that intersection next to the creepy house that everyone said was haunted? Yes, fitting for Halloween I thought. Well next to said liquor store is this quaint office looking space that I have never seen occupied but has recently had an address added by the door. Being the photographer that I am and seeing two old lonely barrels I decided that this would be a great senior portrait or engagement session location. 

Until I met the owner of the property. I immediately thought Grumpy Old Men times ten. As he tried to quickly cross the street from the Haunted House at the Intersection he yells at me "What the hell are you doing?" So I replied as I do when I am somewhere shooting and the obvious question is asked, "I am a local photographer and this would make a great location for some portraits. I wanted to document this spot so that I may not forget about it."

The look on this man's face was by far the most evil look that I have seen from a person asking what I am doing. Imagine a 6' 7" or so 300 pound grumpy old man standing in front of you fuming. So I says to this man, "I have no problem in leaving but if you do not tell me that you have a problem and to leave I will continue on about my business of photographing the pretty things of this Earth." 

With that and a few ugly words in my direction I took what he said as "get off my property!" Now I know the truth. The old haunted house at the corner is not so much ghostly haunted as is haunted with negative old close mindedness. I think that I shall make him a print of the pretty little things of this Earth and hand deliver it next week.

Interview: Colleen

Stimulate Photography:Tell us about yourself: What first sparked your interest in being a model? 
Colleen: What sparked me in being a model, is when I first had my first photo shoot. It went awesome. I loved the photographer, and I thought to myself, "hey this is fun, I would love to become famous doing thing." Back then I was smaller than I am now and so my field has changed. So that's when I decided to be a plus size model, but not your average one since my height is a challenge. But I don't let that stop me.  

SP:What are your goals as a model? 
C: My goals for being a model is to be a print model and be in print ads for clothing, also to make it in to magazines. For me to be able to make money and help support my family. 

SP: How do you see yourself progress in this field? 
C:I see my self progress slowly as the moment, because I'm trying to become a baking and pastry specialist first, while trying to get more photo shoots under my belt and have many different types of themes and outfits.

SP:What is your greatest strength? 
C: My greatest strengths is my love for being in front of the camera, i always love the attention. I take direction well. 

SP:What motivates you? 
C: What motivates me is my family, they support me being a model, they support me going to school, and support me in what i want to do in life. 

SP: Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
C: I see my self in the next five years, being the best wife and parent I can be. Also I see myself being in magazines and having a lot more photo shoots under my belt. Also going to casting calls, hopefully. Being able to be a plus size model.
