I feel like it is something not many people talk about, but I realized a while ago that many people for their blogs and Instagram hire photographers and have proper shoots. Since I realized this I have always wanted to do one and asked my friend/photographer Grace to help me with my first ever photo shoot.
I wasn't to sure where to begin or what to do but I started to put together a list of outfits and items that I wanted to shoot. These raged from gifted items to clothes that I am selling on my Depop to things that I have been thrifting/making. I new some topics that I wanted to write about so I kind of thought about what shots/outfits would work with what content I wanted to write.
After getting all my items together I scouted out a place that we could take some photos without it being too busy. I couldn't stand the thought of people looking and felt self conscious about being watched so I asked Grace to meet me very early to avoid prying eyes.
The night before I got everything together and just made sure that my hair etc was ready for the early start the next day. I know other people hire hair stylists etc but as I was on a strict budget and only have a small blog there was no way I was paying for that!
We shot for half of the time in the street and Grace was so lovely and made me feel at ease and not self conscious at all which was good. For the second half I asked a local Air BnB if we could use their stunning minimal apartment to get some indoor shots, as my house at the time was shared and very messy.
All of my shots turned out so beautiful and I was so happy. I really enjoyed the day and cant wait to share more of the images with you all! I can't wait to do something like this again it was lots of fun and worth the money to get some good photos for my blog.
