What to Expect From a “Come As You Are” Portrait Session in Red Deer
Most people don’t book a photoshoot because they feel ready. The number of people who have told me they’re booking a photoshoot because they feel “ready” vastly pales in comparison to what the majority are saying - “this sounds intriguing but it’s out of my comfort zone.” This tells me something though. It tells me that you’re intrigued (obviously, as per the quote in the last sentence), that you’re drawn to the idea and you want to do it, but that you need more information to feel comfortable and maybe even some permission or reassurance that wanting to do something so extravagantly focused on yourself is okay.
Authenticity in portraiture: how does a photoshoot actually promote self-love?
These photo shoots are focused on recognizing that the body you inhabit and the face you show to the world every single day is not only worthy of representation and recognition, but that showing yourself and celebrating yourself is a vital aspect of self-love that can only lead to more development in the right direction.
Red Deer custom photo session: extending the care giving attitude to yourself, too
After her session, Robyn said “I am really shy getting my photo taken. I prefer to be in the background, unnoticed and working away. [Then] I had this amazing, life changing photoshoot with my friend and work colleague Carmen who really found something in (me) ON CAMERA.” Robyn recognized that she’s gone through challenges recently, and credits her career with pushing her forward every day. When she did her own hair and makeup and had her own portrait experience, things really clicked for her. “This photographer captured my soul and she made me see beauty in myself. This was an incredible experience for my mind, body and soul.”
