Part 1: of the most horrifying interactions I’ve ever had with a client…

I seem to learn things the hard way - constantly 🤭

Follow for part 2!

The “don’t assume and ALWAYS seek permission” rule came about after I asked a family member (who I thought was an uncle) to say the word “boobs” to make him smile (he was very serious and this will usually loosen most people up) - he politely said he couldn’t say it because he is a priest - I laughed it off, thinking he was winding me up - he was not. And I persisted MULTIPLE times, still thinking it was banter - it was not banter. He was a priest and I’ve never been so mortified in my life! I learned a good lesson that day, 9ish years ago 😬 (forever learning things the hard way!)

Thankfully, now I read a room much better 😅 (still working on the, think before you speak).

BUT even when my brain is screaming green light - I ALWAYS ask parents permission before going rouge 🤭

Anyone else have any horror stories they want to share with the group?

There is no bigger compliment, than when another talented photographer, books ME to take their photos 🥹🥹🥹

Thank you for trusting me 🤩🤩🤩 I can’t wait to meet your little bundle of love!

Ps I think I’ve hit double digits, in the tally of amazing photographers I’ve photographed over the years.

If you have been lucky enough (I’m the lucky one) to be a “notch on my belt”, please comment below!! I need to do a formal list!!!!

The Prime vs Zoom lens debate always seems to ruffle some feathers… “most” photographers are passionately one sided - myself included at times 🤭

When I started my business ten years ago, I bought a 24-70 f2.8 & 70-200 f2.8 - on paper I am set for any scenario right?…. WRONG! The creative in me hated the f2.8 so I sold my 70-200 while my 24-70 sat in my camera bag for years barely being used. Still to this day, I only use my 24-70 if I absolutely have to - and there isn’t enough room with a prime lens.

So why all of a sudden, do I massively regret selling my 70-200 and want to buy a new one?! And WHY am I dying to get the RF 28-70 f2.0 lens (kinda the same - but the f.2.0 makes this a beast of a lens 😅)

A new lens is a huge investment, so it doesn’t happen often. So help a gal out and give me your pros and cons!

Part 2 - My biggest pet-peeve at a wedding!

What’s the strangest thing you have seen a groom/groomsmen carry in their pockets at a wedding?

“You weren’t even thought of… let alone born yet!!!” - I can hear it already 🤭

Since this beautiful day, Gracie has gone from one sibling… to THREE siblings (solid effort Mum & Dad 😅)

Anyone with multiple kids already knows exactly where this is headed 👀🤭

While this is such a special moment for a Mum and daughter to share - one that will be treasured forever and proudly displayed throughout the family home…

What Gracie & Harry don’t realise yet is that this wedding day will one day spark the ultimate sibling alliance:

The two kids who were invited to Mum & Dad’s wedding
VS
The two kids who were “not even invited” 😂🤭

Cue…

“You weren’t even thought of… let alone born yet!!!”

God speed 💀

If you can see it my pockets, then my camera can DEFINITELY see it in your pockets!! And it looks bulky, weird and burns my soul!

So, to all the grooms and groomsmen out there that I have tortured, annoyed and asked repeatedly for 10hrs - “please empty your pockets” - you’re welcome 😅 and I’m not sorry!

To all my Brides & bridesmaids - it’s never you - (mainly because your dresses never have pockets) and I love that!

Delivered - Baby Myles!!

I've lost count how many milestones I have had the pleasure of photographing for this beautiful family. Each session getting a touch more chaotic, and a hell of a lot more entertaining!!

First time venue alert…

(This either excites photographers - or terrifies them!)

Personally, I love a balance of both. Repeat venues feel “easy” - I always know where the best light is, making portraits faster but sometimes (for me) it can feel less creative and spontaneous. I LOVE rocking up to a new (for me) wedding venue and finding all the gorgeous photo options - where the light hits just right!!

10 years ago, I probably would have been a touch nervous and scoped it out before hand. But now, as a seasoned veteran in the photography world, I absolutely LOVE flying blind, winging it and letting the creative juices flow naturally.
