Sunset Sessions are in full swing!
.
So far, we're off to a glowy, dreamy start and I'm crossing my fingers Mother Earth continues to bless these families with gorgeous sunsets.
.
I've loved working with these sisters over the past years. They have that magical sister bond and every time I see them it makes me wish I had grown up with a sister. 💓

I saw this image and thought, damn, if ever there was a photo to represent the sun going down on summer, this would be it.

Here's hoping your summer memeories don't fade too soon.

Last night I typed up a long post about how I'm over the pressure a photographer has around posting to social media. Reading it in today's fresh light, I decided no one needed to hear my rant.
🙃
So, to sum it up, the pressure I've put on myself to post on social media consisitently, at the "perfect time" and curate a captivating caption on a cohesive grid is debiliatating. So no more.
💥
Posts will be infrequent, more intentional and align with my value of authenticity and desire to share useful knowlege for clients. It'll probably tank my reach and engagement, but I don't care.
✨
To all the photogs out there, do you track where your new business comes from? If not, start today.
.
I get almost no new clients from social media. Maybe you do get clients from IG, but knowing these details about your business will help you to spend your time where it matters.
.
That's all! Oh, and scroll to see me real time vs the first photo where I'm made up (which is almost never, lol). Let's normalize being real, not curated.

Hey Mama! You deserve to shine, too!
🤩
I love this moving portrait from last year. We focused on the mama as well as the baby bump and the family.
.
It's rare, when filming, to get eye contact with adults, it just is. But I love when (especially the moms!) get vulnerable and let their inhibitions go and show the emotion.
.
As fall approaches and the leaves change, you're probably thinking about your family getting photos done. Most of mom's energy goes into preparing the kids and S.O. without much thought of herself.
.
But remember, moms, you deserve to shine, too.

Snapshot or Story?? You decide!
🌟
This week, I've shared a few examples of Moving Portraits and what they're all about. Reminder, you can have your own done by booking a Sunset Session at the link in my bio.
🌟
So what's the difference between a MP and a Full Family Film? Scroll to find out!
🌟
Hint: Sanpshot vs. Story 😀
✨
Then, head to my IGTV to see examples of both. Oh, and have a great day ☀️

What’s a moving portrait, you ask?
🎥
A one minute short film, typically from a portrait session. You’re likely dressed up, at a location (not home), and it’s an extension of the photos taken. It doesn't tell a story.
🌟
A full family film is longer, takes place in or near the home and showcases a day in the life of your family. Clothing leans toward what you’d wear any day of the week and it’s a documentary approach. It tells a story.
📖
If you're just getting your feet wet with family films, a Moving Portrait is a great place to start! Lucky you, they are an optional add-on for this fall's Sunset Sessions! See link in bio for more!
