Beating the winter boredom

I knew the slow season was coming. I thought I was ready for it. Financially, we were. But I’m so bored!

In January, I did a model call and worked on a new session style. More info will come about that in the near future. I also spent a lot of time working on the business side of things (ex: building a website, legitimizing Exposure with the PA state… signing up for taxes, getting insurance… you know… all the super fun stuff.)

I have mini sessions and a wedding coming up in March. There are some other things in the works. But right now, I’m bored. Creatively bored.

A few years ago I joined a collab group on Facebook that connects small business owners with photographers. I decided I would start getting more involved with it. My first shop owner was Julie T. Rose Boutique. She sent me 6 shirts to photograph. I contacted a few of my beautiful friends and we set up times to shoot.

This was very different than what I normally do. I wasn’t just trying to make my model look their best. I had to focus on making sure their shirts were legible, both through posing and straightening them out. I am all about paying attention to detail as much as possible. I hate having to retouch something in Photoshop that I could have just fixed during the shooting process.

The following are some of Julie’s favorites, mixed with a few of mine. I’m looking forward to doing a few more to keep my creative juices going. Honestly. If you are interested in having this type of work done for you, please contact me. I really enjoyed it!
