Katie follows my work, I know this because this gorgeous girl would refer to blog posts and images that I’ve done in the past, that even I had forgotten about. With my blog I occasionally touch certain people in a way that they book me for a shoot. In this particular instance one of the things Katie really liked was that I do my before and afters. Why? Because she can relate. Everybody can relate to the before shot. Prior to her shoot she said to me ‘I haven’t been feeling very pretty, but if anyone can make me look good it will be you. I trust you.’ Even more so a reason to book a photo shoot now. If you are feeling down about yourself then there is no more of a perfect time to do something for you that celebrates you.
The amazing thing is, by the time she had gone through the pampering process with her hair and make-up, and then the photo shoot, she was already feeling amazing about herself before she had even seen the photos. What is that? Confidence. Yes, she now had a gorgeous full body of hair and make-up that brought out her amazing blue eyes even further, but her looks are still the same, she is still the same person. What changed? From being so nervous at first, she completely let go, and in trusting me to guide and photograph her, she relaxed, really started to enjoy herself and truly believed that she was beautiful. And she is. The more the confidence came through the more she sparkled. A new friend and a happy client bounced out of my studio.
