Being a photographer I can honestly say I am behind the camera more than I am in front of it. It is my job to make you feel beautiful. I believe that every person is beautiful and finding a person's beauty is when magic happens! I thought about how many people come to me and have no idea what they want when it comes to photographs so they often settle for traditional and honestly a bit boring. So in order to step outside of the box, I came up with 5 fabulous ways to feel beautiful when being in front of a camera. I think this list applies to everyone and can help give people a few tips on how to get great photographs! One's that make you feel beautiful!

1. Relax!--- This doesn't always happen right away, but try to take a deep breath and forget about being photographed. The relaxed and natural person gives an absolutely stunning and beautiful photograph.

2. Figure out when you feel beautiful and showcase it!--- Is there a certain color that makes you feel beautiful? What about a certain attire? How about a place that when you are there you feel beautiful? Maybe it's when you are doing a specific activity that you feel beautiful. Whatever it is that makes you feel beautiful use it to your advantage and make it part of the photography! (P.S. These are often some of the most "fun" photo shoots because the person is in their element!)

3. Have fun and don't be afraid to laugh!--- Yes, I do think it is good to get a wonderful smile at the camera photograph but there is so much more to a person. A person's true beauty shines when they are having fun and laughing. A photographer often has a lot to do with this and I am there to make sure you are having a good time! Let's laugh together!
