These last two sessions changed me. They changed me in a wonderful way. They helped me discover something new about my style, and they made me love what I do even more than I did before.
I’m the type of person who likes to keep things simple. I’m pretty minimalistic in my lifestyle, and I keep telling myself to incorporate that into my business as well. Step one in making that a reality was simple pricing. My next goal was simplifying sessions (poses, props etc.). Well, I feel like I finally kept things simple. Capturing more of a “lifestyle” session with the past two clients was part the reason for this shift. Funny thing is, by keeping it simple I ended up with more than my standard 20-30 images!
All this to say, you may start to see a shift in my style more towards lifestyle sessions and fewer of the posed “smile at the camera” shots. While those are certainly important, and I will continue to take them, I find lifestyle images to evoke more emotion. I firmly believe photographs that move a person are the best photographs.
