Here lately, I have been hearing my clients speak more and more about not wanting to take pictures right now because of this or that. We can always come up with an excuse if we think long enough. “I’m too big.” “I need to drop ten more pounds.” “I don’t have anything to wear…” and the list goes on. 

In the world that we live in, there will always be these magical guidelines that most of the world will never fit into. For example, I have been a plus size woman for the majority of my life. Being on steroids after my bus accident help me one bit. After embracing this fact, I learned I had to rock what God gave me. 

One type of session that I simply love to do is Glamour Sessions. They typically start off slow, being a little camera shy and pointing out the flaws that make them unique. After listening to my clients and watching them warm up to the camera, I learn a lot about them. I know what they will like and not like, their good side, they favorite poses, the features that they love about themselves. At this time, I can take the session to the next level. Some of the best photos come from he end of the session when they are totally comfortable. 

That’s when I just want to bust a move in excitement. 

You must trust your photographer. We often don’t think about the fact that they have the power to make you look really good or really bad. Review their work before you hire them for your session. Ask questions and always make sure you tell them your expectations. Photographers cannot meet your expectations, if they don’t know them. 

Recently, I did a photoshoot that was so far out of my comfort zone, but the end product I loved. Trust your photographer, love yourself, wear the right size clothing, and you will end up with a photograph that you love.  

Senior Rep Program

What is a senior rep?

Students who represent a photography studio in exchange for credits toward the cost of their own senior pictures, cash back referral incentives.

Reps receive a photo session in late spring or early summer, from which rep cards are delivered to give out to friends and classmates. As friends or classmates have senior sessions taken and place print orders, when they give the rep’s name,  credit is applied to the rep’s account for each referral to the studio. Reps are showered with everything from discounted sessions to complimentary products, Facebook images, studio credits and cash back!
 

You are responsible for sending Figaro Photography a minimum of 3 referrals. These referrals must book a package and pay for the session by December 31st 2014.  Any type of session package Figaro Photography Studio offers counts as a referral!

For the past five months, I have been standing by my father’s side as he went through the amputations of some toes, surgeries to clean that up, and gallbladder surgery. Through it all, my amazing clients have been there to support me and encourage me, and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

Shooting + Editing + Marketing + Dr Appointments + Consultations = Tired Photographer 

I will be running away soon, but I promise to come to back energized and ready to shoot away. Im just so grateful for wonderful clients. 

Also, I’m pretty excited that I resigned the lease for the Studio for another year! I’m ready to have some fun with some creative kids sessions and boudoir sessions. Parents, keep a lookout for some of these sessions because I will need little models for these sessions. The sky is the limit, and I’m ready to snap a few sky pictures.
