 my toes, and not get bored. Also, mixing it up will naturally show you what you are good at shooting, and what you enjoy shooting most.
This interview isn’t long enough to list the people that have shown me support and helped me grow my business! My first full time job in the photo world was doing client management for a wedding studio in San Diego. John and Tamsin owned a wedding and portrait studio, and brought me on to help with their workload. I can’t even list the amount of knowledge I gained working there, that I still apply to my own business model. About six months into working with them, we hired Becca to help with our processing and retouching workload. She and I became fast friends, and when Tamsin decided to close the doors at their studio, Becca and I opened up our own wedding and portrait studio. She taught me how to direct people better, how to handle pressure better, and how to let go of control. Becca was the best business partner I could have asked for, and I gained so much shooting confidence with her by my side. We decided to close the studio after about 7 years so we could focus on our personal businesses, but she’s still one of my dearest friends. I can safely say that I wouldn’t be where I am now without the love and support of Tamsin and Becca.
I have a few projects that will hopefully get shot here in the next month or so, everything this year has been taking longer than expected because of manufacturing and material delays. I’m heading down to the Valle de Guadalupe next week for a shoot at a winery which will be loads of fun, I’m really looking forward to that! I’ve been tossing around some personal project ideas for next year, I try to accomplish two a year if I can. I have a friend who owns a carnival, so I’m brainstorming some ideas with that!
I try to be an open book to aspiring photographers, and even other professionals. I’m always happy to answer questions about business, photo techniques, tips and tricks, even pricing. Every now and again I’ll get an email from an aspiring student or photographer just starting out that has questions, and I’m always down for coffee or a phone call. I always had people around me to help guide me, so it’s important that I give back in that same way. 
Can you share “5 Things Anyone Can Do To Take Stunning Photos”. Please share an example for each.
Be Strategic With Light: Do you want a more natural and organic feel to your photos? Or are you looking for a more commercial look? You want to light your images in a way that fits your overall brand. If you’re tackling a project alone, make that mood board on pinterest and see what kinds of lighting you’re gravitating towards. It’s easier to emulate lighting when you have an example in front of you. If you’re hiring a photographer, make sure their style of shooting is on brand with your brand. If you’re looking for more editorial or commercial style images that are lit with artificial light, don’t hire the person who only has experience with natural outdoor lighting situations. Chances are, you won’t receive the results you’re looking for!
Photoshop Can’t Fix Everything: Unless, of course, you’re paying top dollar for the world’s best retouchers. Do your best to expose your images properly in camera, with a variety of compositions to choose from. Move around, back up and zoom in, or stand on a box for extra height. Don’t be afraid to ask someone to move out of your frame for a second, or adjust where you’re standing to avoid the pole coming out of your subject’s head. Shoot in RAW, that way your properly exposed image also has the most information possible to edit from.
Respect the Limits of an iPhone: No matter how many cameras it may have, an iPhone will not (yet at least) generate images that are high-resolution enough for print. If you can’t afford to purchase a camera, consider renting gear for your project! It’s a great way to test out the different camera options to see what you like best for when you’re ready to purchase. Make sure you give yourself enough time to learn the system before your shoot!
Go Pro: Whether it’s a food stylist or professional makeup, investing in production value will take your photos from amateur to pro. If the production you’re finding yourself in is more than you can handle, hire a professional photographer that has work that reflects the style you’re seeking. And don’t forget retouching, the absolute critical last step to amazing photos! If you’re planning on retouching your own work, make sure you understand how digital processing works! There are a million great tutorials out there to help you get a grasp on Lightroom and Photoshop, and your final photos will thank you.
I don’t know if I’m a person of “great” influence, but I’ll share something I try to do as much as I can. I truly do value the people in my life, and I try to show up for them. My advice would be to show up for the people around you — call them, don’t just text or send a DM. Reach out to others, let them know you’re available to them. We are so connected and so disconnected all at the same time, especially in the world of social media. People need human interaction, and no one likes feeling lonely. Say hello to people when you walk by, ask the check out person at the grocery store how their day has been and actually listen to their response. Be open to communication not through a device, unless it’s to phone a friend! I think the world would be less anxious, less lonely, and more hopeful if people reached out to one another to check in and say hi.
