2012 has arrived and I have implemented many new changes to my business. All very exciting!!
From now on the majority of my work will be Portrait Couture and Beach Portraits. I have decided to focus and specialise in this area as taking portraits of people is my most favourite type of photography.
Many people still request my location shoots, so as well as the studio style I will be offering location shoots at the beach. There are a few reasons I have decided to use the beach as my backdrop. One, my new studio will be built withinn a 2 minute walk from the beach. Two, it is an uncluttered environment which allows the subject to be the main focus of the image, and three I love the beach. Who doesn't! I love the colours it provides and how depending on the time of day you shoot, the different light can completely change the whole mood and feel of the image.
I want my photographs to be clean and modern, using natural style light. Both the beach location shoots and portrait couture shoots will have that 'Natalie Ann Photography' feel and look to them. What to wear during the photo shoot will be discussed prior, and I now have a lovely studio wardrobe of clothes, material and accessories which can be added to enhance or create an outfit.
I am now encouraging all my clients to have hair and make-up professionally done and enjoy a day of being pampered and a day that's all about you! I have my main girl
Daniella Piscopo Make-up Artistry, Simone Lawler and then I myself have learnt how to do the portrait couture style make-up.
Another change is the all out there to see 'Before and After' shots. It is important for me to do this. The reason being for my clients who don't have the confidence to believe they have it in them, to show them their true potential and also for everyone else to see that you too can have photographs to treasure forever. I had so many comments of people saying I only photograph models, where in fact the majority of the women I have on face book and my website are not models. They just look great after a photo shoot with me. We have fun, my clients relax and grow more and more confident throughout the photo shoot and before you know it they're taking stunning pictures.
So Here's to a fabulous New Year! Can't wait to photograph you. xxx
