Sam had two looks she wanted to be shot in. The first look was laid back, casual yet sporty look, the second a gorgeous, bomb-shell yet elegant formal look.
We also didn’t want to settle into just studio shots OR just outdoor shots. Nope, we wanted to do a combination of both.
We started off with Sam’s casual look in studio, just to get her warmed up and settled in; getting her acquainted with the camera.
It can sometimes feel super awkward standing or sitting there, looking at this big round piece of glass attached to legs and a bum (that would be my legs and bum; which is kind of all you can see when I’m looking through the view finder). This piece of glass telling you how to stand, what to do with your arms and legs, where to look, followed by a snap and ooooh’s and aaaah’s of photographer admirations.
Yes, the short legged glass does supply you with riveting conversation and does give you a bit of a giggle every now and again, but it still feels awkward. I get it. I’ve been there. 😛
