You know what they say, "Time flies by when you're having fun." I try to have fun - whatever I'm doing, whether it's my personal life or business. I mean, guys, I've been running my photography business for almost two decades. If I didn't have fun, I'd be done with it long ago. I'm not the type that can do the same thing over and over and over every day. Heck, I can't even prep my meals and eat the same food for a few days in a row, haha!
I don't do those classic stiff poses that will make you uncomfortable or question whether you're doing it right or not. I have a more organic approach to my photography. I will talk with you throughout your session, whether it's an engagement, family, or boudoir session - and by the end, you're not even going to think a photoshoot happened. Hah! It does not hurt, I promise! *wink wink*
I take the time to get to know my clients. This helps me decide how to approach each individual/couple/family. Some of my clients are shyer, some are so energetic, some don't like certain things (so I avoid them), and some need a little more cheering... There's no "one size fits all," which is why we must click. I want all my clients to know me, like, the real me. I want y'all to see yourself grabbing a drink together, going bowling, visiting me at my studio, and sharing drinks at my rooftop. I want you to be able to drop by and say hi to me, Nyx, Aeolus, and Mousey.
I want to surround myself with people I can relate with - and vice versa. I want my clients to be able to connect with me. I want to work with "my humans." I mean, if you don't like my energy, I can assure you my bubbly persona will be annoying for the entire duration of our booking. That can be anywhere from a few months for a portrait session to a year or two with weddings - yikes! That's such a long time to hold your breath, LOL!
I talk too much, joke around, and tease in a fun way here and there, hoping that I get a few genuine laughs here and there. Loving my energy as much as you love my work is the secret sauce!
