Some people go after their dreams.
When Britaney emailed me asking if I would take photos of her to promote her music I was super thrilled! Britaney and I went to high school together and had many mutual friends. Lucky for me, one of these mutual friends is my best friend. (Never underestimate a good recommendation and word of mouth!) As you can imagine my bff pimped me out and ta-da --Britaney connected with me.
This shoot was so refreshing because it was very different than any other I have done. First, It was taken in a dance studio and I'm used to doing shoots outdoor. In addition, most of my clients don't really know what they want and give me free reins to photograph them any which way.
Which is wonderful, but also leaves me in a bit of a panic because I know what I like and how I'd like them to look, but I don't know how they want to look or their vision. With Britaney is was different! She went into the shoot knowing exactly what she wanted and what she wanted to portray but gave me just enough artistic freedom!
Even better-- I got to do her makeup! This I have never done at a shoot and during this time we got to chat a lot. I learned so much about her throughout the entire process....from the day we met up to discuss details until the actual shoot. To top things off, Britaney's vision of editing was on par with mine and right up my alley!
Overall this was such a good experience and I gained a fabulous and caring new friend :)
Britaney is a beautiful soul. She is hard working and determined and I wish her much success and hope all of her dreams come true!
