The Girl Behind the Lens

It isn't very often that I get to play dress up and play in front of the camera. It is amazing how different the feeling is. I have been behind the camera for a while now and have become extremely comfortable being there too. For that reason, I feel photographers should sometimes be the subject for a change. It really is a learning tool to put yourself in your may feel. Becoming the subject on occasion has really helped me to understand how to get my client's full potential during our session.

My friend Heather K and I decided to go out to a location to scout out potential shooting spots. We decided to bring some cute shoes just in case we wanted to play model for a minute. LOL I really had no intentions of doing it but when we got there the only way to determine if the spot worked or not was to put someone in it. {insert reluctant photographer here} Heather wanted to work on her photography skills, therefore, I was the model. Oh boy! LOL Good thing I kind of wore a cute outfit and brought great shoes!   SAVED! Anyway, we ended up finding dome pretty awesome spots to shoot. We got to practice posing, lighting, locations, and client and photographer relationships. What a fun and productive day! Of course we ended  the day at a lovely little Mexican restaurant laughing over a  few cocktails :)

So I thought I would share what my wonderful friend Heather came up with that day. Also, now I am getting a taste of what it is like to "make the blog" Hahahahahah (My clients are always asking, "Are we gonna make...the blog?!" And yes!!! Everyone makes the blog! Wahoo!

Oh Yes this is the true me by the way :)

Just want to give my friend Heather a little shout out! You did great :) You are getting better and better every day! Keep it up sista!
