FIRST ELLE'BLOG POST !!

✨ My First Graduation Photoshoot Experience ✨

When I decided to actually do something productive with my love for the media, I knew the first step would be to build a diverse portfolio, and after reaching out on social media, two friends volunteered for graduation photos.

I was really grateful for the opportunity and learned a lot, so here are my top 4 takeaways for a successful first shoot:

1. Prepare Your Gear

Research poses and locations, and create an inspiration board for your client to set expectations on both ends. Also, check your equipment the day before—nothing's worse than a dead battery, or a full SD card! (I'd know lol).

2. Be On Time

Punctuality shows professionalism, and professionalism sets your reputation off to a great start! so if you are 5 minutes late, communicate!

3. Stay Positive

Many people feel awkward in front of the camera. (Personally, that is why I am BEHIND and not in front hahaha.. just jk..!)

But on a more serious note, encourage your clients, make them feel comfortable, and show them great shots to boost their confidence. I sometimes tend to get quiet because I am attempting to nail "the shot" but I have to keep reminding myself that my subjects will feed off of my energy! If I am positive, they will too and if I am too quiet, they may shut down, feel awkward or worry and that's a bIG NO NO.

4. Check In & Don't Overthink It!

Regularly ask how they’re feeling during the shoot. It helps build trust and keeps the atmosphere relaxed. Also, take the time to breathe, it can be a bit stressful at first but as the minutes pass, it becomes more relaxed! You should have fun!

In the end, a bit of prep and a friendly attitude led to a fantastic first shoot! 📸✨

✨ Well hello there ✨

Today has been a very interesting day but I felt like sharing something so here goes.

I’ve been meditating on this Bible verse: Philippians 4:6.

« Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with Thanksgiving, present your request to the Lord, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ ».

Now I’ve always known it, but today the phrase « … with thanksgiving, present your requests to the Lord…» hit me a little bit harder.

For the back story, in a relatively short period of time and for various reasons, I’ve been feeling so many emotions ranging from helplessness, to hope to then anxiety to then hope again, to panic, but then hope again and it’s just been this ongoing cycle, which can sometimes cause me to lose sight of what matters most.

So stumbling upon, and yes « stumbling » because truthfully this Bible verse found ME today, was such perfect timing. Anxiety, fear and panic have nothing on me nor you!

There are just about 365 references from God telling us, His children, to « fear not » and to « not be afraid » so if that’s not a good daily dose of encouragement, I don’t know what else this is lol. 🤣

All jokes aside, life can be hard at times, but God is such an ON TIME God. I don’t know what you’re struggling with, maybe a dream you desperately need to come true, or maybe a commitment that will change the rest of life…

No matter what it is! God said to just ASK him, and believe that we have already received.

That really encouraged me, and actually brought me comfort and peace and I hope it does the same to you.
