PS Photography

Its pretty exciting when you have a vision for a shoot and to see it unfold to be better than you expected. That’s what happened with Victoria. My vision was simple, but sometimes simple needs a lot of effort to pull it off. The idea was a wooden swing overlooking a deserted beach. In order to pull this off we first needed a wooden swing, luckily Victoria has a handy dad. –CHECK. Next, deserted beach. Luckily, we have plenty of beaches. –CHECK. Last, but not least, we needed a beautiful dress that was simple, elegant, flowy, organic, and trendy. Luckily, Victoria has good taste. –CHECK. CHECK, CHECK, CHECK and voila, the vision is complete! Plus, a few other outfit changes that are different and gorgeous!

The words “Styled Shoot” I am sure you have noticed have been popping up lately on our blog and social media pages, well it’s because we are just so excited about this concept! If you haven’t been stalking us and have no idea what a styled shoot is then shame shame on you! Let us fill you in. A styled shoot is a PS shoot but with a lot more thought and magic put into the planning of it. The number one word that we here come out of our clients mouth is “unique”, I want something unique for the shoot. Well to make a shoot unique sometimes takes more than just a unique location and unique posing. We found that although most of our clients wanted something unique they came to the set (aka shoot) with a normal standard look, makeup, hair and outfit; although nice, it didn’t show unique. We came up with the idea of a Styled Shoot. What if we directly worked with the client to come up with a theme or concept of the shoot and then actually helped choose their wardrobe, hair, makeup, accessories. Then we pushed it even more and thought what if we made a “set” for the shoot, like a Broadway show would have a set. The idea was genius (if I don’t say so myself). Melissa’s Styled Shoot was the first of many to come. We have been dying to share these photographs but had to resist until after her birthday bash. Melissa’s Quince party was a carnival theme so when we met for our preliminary consultation it was a simple decision on what the shoot concept and theme was going to be. We then shared ideas with Melissa via Pinterest (check out our Pinterest boards). We quickly agreed with the look and feel of the shoot and began researching on locations, wardrobe and props. As you can see, a lot of work was put into this shoot. Not only did we put a lot of time and effort but the client went all out on finding the outfits and purchasing the props. We had complete trust with our client and she really did go above and beyond to make our combined vision come true. Our Styled Shoots are perfect for the client that truly is looking for something unique and that is willing to go above and beyond to really make their photographs one of a kind.
