My specialty has always been animal and family portraiture, but sometimes I like to try something different - in this case, a shoot for the purpose of promotional images for a business (an absolutely amazing one, I want to add)
As many of you are aware, last year I had to 'pause' taking on anymore booking due to my health. I suffer from joint pain as a result of having hypermobile ehlers danlos, and taking photos often involves a lot of kneeling, crawling, twisting - all movements that put a lot of strain on my lousy joints. I've always pushed through, but it got to the point I couldn't anymore, which was SO hard for me, as photography is such an important part of my life - nothing makes me happier than capturing and creating beautiful memories for my clients.
Those that know me well have probably heard me at some point joke that chiropractors are a scam, but because of how much pain I was in, I ended up desperate enough to book an appointment with one - and I ended up eating my words. I saw Dr Justin Mitrevski from The Innate Connection (and still am) and the difference he has made in my life has been night and day. My joint pain is managed, and I can do things now that in the past would have left me stuck in bed for the rest of the day. (I've never been so excited to be able to do something as simple as feeding my horse and then go home with no pain!)
For people that deal with chronic pain, relief like this means more than words can really describe. Some of you will get it. It means more than a 'thank you' can portray - so I brought my camera along to one of my sessions and snapped some photos a little different to what I usually capture.
Anyway - here's something a little different I thought I'd share. Although its not work I usually do, I quite enjoyed it and I'm rather pleased with how the photos turned out! (considering I'm used to working with natural lighting π
)
Of course, with my pain now being managed, this also means I am now taking on bookings again! With the weather starting to cool down, now is the perfect time to lock in a session for photos of pets and family.
Bookings can be made through my website: https://taylaannephotography6.mypixieset.com/
(Please note: I will be adjusting my pricing and packages to be more affordable, as I understand times are tougher due to cost of living. These changes have not yet been made on my website, but will be as soon as possible.)
