The president of my school looked down at all the eager freshman from the balcony he stood on in the modern wing of the Art Institute and said - ▪️ "You're going to fail. Over and over again. In front of people you respect and in ways you can't imagine. But that's what being an artist is about - so embrace the failures and learn from them as you grow." ▪️ Happy Wednesday, babes ❤️
➡️ swipe for a cute behind the scenes with my fave @carlyrowsetanzer & @thatgirlnamedbean for @localeclectic's blog! Where are my other moody moon loving babes? 🌒✋
Moody Halloween inspired zodiac sign jewelry for @localeclectic ❤️ since I've spent the week moving (and tbh forgot about Halloween) you'll find me in the discount candy aisle tomorrow stocking up for the cold months ahead. 😘 Happy hauntin', babes!
I used to take self portraits to mark memorable milestones as I grew up - first heartbreaks, first year of college, when important figures in my life passed away - and I've slowly realized that the only time I feel drawn to taking another self portrait is when I'm sad/stressed. The first time I turned the camera on myself all year was when I injured my back and I haven't done it since - but this week I'm moving into a new apartment for the first time on my own and losing yet another important figure in my life and I have the strongest urge to record it with my camera. I feel so lucky that I have access to a tool that allows me to record these milestones and the courage to be open about my emotions (to a point that it sometimes makes others uncomfortable). Cheers to growing up and getting outside of your comfort zone. ❤️
Loved shooting these dreamy rings for the styled shoot collaboration between @localeclectic & @brideside + the ever beautiful @laurenrebeccaroth. ❤️
Consistency is key, consistency is key... 🔑 I used to hear that saying and get so annoyed. Like, yeah, I know consistency is key to getting people to trust you - show up on time, stick to your word, go above and beyond to show that you're worth trusting. But when it comes to keeping consistency in your photography style to get clients to trust you - it can get a little tricky. 🙉 Creatives who pursue their passion to make a business have a tough choice - keep your work consistent so you become known for that style, or follow your gut and try new techniques and ideas. 📷 I used to think there wasn't any room in my photography to keep my work consistent so clients felt comfortable working with me and still pursuing the style I like - but that just ain't true. 🍂 Today on the blog I'm sharing 4 tips to creating consistency in your portrait sessions (+ why your clients care about it).
