I can totally relate...

A good friend of mine (a excellent photographer)Victoria, told me a few months back that she was doing a little photo session of herself. So she could relate better with her clients, with knowing how it is being in front of the camera instead of always being behind it. As most of you know, I like being behind the camera WAAAYY better then being in front of it getting my picture taken. I toughened up though, and finally talked myself into doing a little photo shoot (just so I could relate better with my clients and people I photograph lol). So I grabbed my camera and Rebekah, then headed out. Rebekah was my photographer! It really is totally different getting your picture taken compared to being the one taking the picture. I think having done this, it will deffinetly help me with my clients. Just being more sensitive with making them comfortable and relaxed, and just enjoying ourselves.

A few tips that I have found very helpful when someone is taking your picture lol. Always.... (1). Relax (thats so important) (2). Think happy thoughts or about someone that makes your laugh (thats my favorite one haha) (3). Smile with you eyes (when you have a real smile your eyes will smile too).

Here are a few that Rebekah took for me. Isn't the snow pretty?!!

Yeah..I know my smile was cheesy here lol.




So serious, I kinda look angry lol..




There, I found it, a real smile.




I think this one may be my fav




Wait..is that another?? It is!!! Thats another real smile! That's two real smiles, I'm on a roll lol...









Just for fun! I was thinking very happy thoughts here lol...
