💓 sharing for my new followers!
I am THAT photographer;
Who will overshoot and overdeliver.
Who will yell from behind her camera how perfect and gorgeous you all look. every.single. time.
Who might deliver an emotional blurry image in your gallery because it’s not about the clarity, it’s about the moment. And I want you to have it. (THIS)
Who will include five almost identical images because the mom’s face changes in each and I am not sure which she will love most so I’m sending them all.
Who will get real handsy posing you and crack jokes to make you feel at ease even when you’re not comfortable having a complete stranger touch you (it’s ok. Eventually we won’t be strangers).
Who will gush over your baby and say I wish I could kiss them (I won’t. But I’ll want to and sometimes I do)
Who will send outtakes with your finished gallery, and they will be edited too.
Who just wants to take photos and capture memories so I completely stink at the admin side of things.
Who wants you to message me that you love your photos after I send them. I mean immediately or I get so anxious. 🥴
Who would love if you send me behind the scenes photos. Live versions so I can make little reels out of them.
Who will help you choose outfits. Plan. Send links. The whole thing. The WHOLE THING. I’ll let you borrow my clothes. The girls dresses. Bows. Anything you need. If I have it, it’s yours also.
Who will text you back a simple “no” during a wardrobe consult. I am direct to a fault. 😂 some love it, some hate it. But that's me!
Who really wants your kids to like me. I want them to get excited when you say you’re coming for photos with me.
Who will listen to you, laugh with you, cry with you, and become your friend.
You are SO much more than my “client” you are family! And I love and appreciate that you fit me into your budget!
I love each of you!
Xoxo,
Shalinda
