{friday photo tip | portrait | wedding | engagement}

I hear so often, right before we start shooting, “I am so nervous”. From a simple portrait, to an engagement session and of course weddings. I know it is easier said than done, but try and relax. You have hired a professional and they will guide you and tell you what to do so that you look your absolute best. If you are nervous, it will show. So just relax, trust your photographer and let them worry about the rest. Knowing and having a relationship with your photographer will help you relax and trust them. If you have already booked your photographer, I am sure you will have already established a connection. If you can’t meet in person, talk to them over the phone, follow them on twitter and facebook. Whatever helps make you feel comfortable with them! And if you still can't shake the jitters, sometimes a glass of champagne will help take off the edge, but not too much!
