I was feelin my outfit after filming for this week’s YouTube video when these BEAUTIFUL group of friends said “can we say hi to David?” 🥺❤️ The third photo is my reaction to them saying hi 😂 I asked them where they’re going dressed so cute and they said “nowhere, we’re just hanging out.” I LOVED their energy and styles so I asked them if they’d be willing to be in my tiktok of me photographing them individually AND THEY SAID YES! can’t wait to share the video and photos ❤️ 
A photo dump from a successful birthday surprise for my favorite ❤️ Happy early birthday and I can’t wait to share your birthday portraits @meerkatsuzie 🥰 Thanks for convincing me to step out of my comfort zone with getting colored nails 🤩 
Stop over thinking posing!!! I remember when I was just starting out with photography, I would waaay overdo on everything. Editing, I’ll over saturate to the point RtR picture looked unnatural. Camera tilts, add a Dutch angle (when you slightly tilt the camera to the side) for no reason Lighting, put a strobe on top of my camera and direct it straight at my clients because it looked cool and “different.” But soon enough I got tired of all that. I was tired of following trends and what was “cool.” I was trying so hard to be noticed when all I was doing was adding to the noise. I went back to all the basics and fundamentals. Simple framing, subtle color toning, and soft light and I developed my own voice. Yes there is a time and place for big, elaborate poses but take time to learn the fundamentals. 
Work the pose, don’t let the pose work you! Let your confidence shine baby and then start tackling the big poses ☀️
