As a family photographer in Colorado, I believe that preparation is the key to capturing beautiful moments. A recent maternity session reminded me of this, and it unveiled some helpful secrets to stunning photography. I had the pleasure of working with Carolina (who I had the pleasure of working with previously HERE), who came prepared with my style guide and eager ideas for her shoot. We chatted about potential outfit choices, ultimately deciding on a stunning dress that would stand out against the winter backdrop. Finding the right dress is crucial—it sets the tone for the entire session and can transform a simple photoshoot into something extraordinary. Carolina even found the perfect sequined dress on Poshmark, and trust me, it was worth the search!
Unlocking the Door to Beauty and Discovering the Secrets to Stunning Photography
When planning your shoots, consider the location and weather. For this session, we aimed for snow, prompting us to choose Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. As any photographer knows, weather conditions can change quickly in Colorado. On the day of our shoot, it was windy and cold, but instead of letting that ruin our plans, we pivoted. We started on the lake but quickly moved to a nearby grove of trees to block the wind, allowing for more relaxed and natural shots. Always be ready to adapt your ideas to make the best out of any situation—your subjects will appreciate your flexibility.
Embracing Change and Capturing the Magic in Every Moment
Lastly, remember that post-processing can be a headache if the right conditions aren’t met while shooting. Adjusting the way you shoot can save you a lot of editing time. By being creative and adaptable during a session, you can capture the essence of your subjects while ensuring minimal post-production work. Embrace the unexpected, collaborate with your clients, and let your photography journey take flight!
