You deserve amazing photos

You deserve to have photos of yourself that you love. Stunning photos aren’t something just for celebrities and ad campaigns. 

Everyone deserves to feel confident and love themselves a little extra. Just like you might go to the salon for a haircut, facial, manicure, or to get your makeup done, photos of yourself give you a confidence boost. You get your own personal hype person (aka your kickass photog, me if you’re in PGH) who will do everything they can to make you feel confident and comfortable. 

Think about how nice just having nice photos of yourself is outside of the immediate confident boost. You won’t need to scrounge through your camera roll to find the least blurry selfie or try to find a photo of you that is appropriate to use for your Linkedin headshot (since you shouldn’t use that photo of you from brunch out with the girls 2 years ago). You’ll have cute photos to spice up your fav social media feed, update your Linkedin headshot, send to family when they ask for updates, and just look back on and enjoy. 

I don’t think people (even now with hundreds or thousands of photos of themselves) ever think “wow I have TOO MANY photos of myself”. I genuinely have never heard anyone say this, not models, not clients! Realistically, you only need 5 photos tops from any selfie session (although no shame if you took 47 and kept 29 and can’t be bothered to delete the extras). 

Maybe you thoroughly enjoy your selfies, which is great since you should have photos of yourself that you love! But why not hire a photog whose style you love and let them hype you up? It’s literally their job to make you look like the best version of yourself. I go out of my way to tackle any insecurities you might have by showing you photos on the back of my camera and making sure you feel comfortable and confident. 

I know it’s not easy and always fun to be open to someone who is a stranger, but photographers (at least good ones) are totally non judgemental. Find someone who you feel like you can be honest with about insecurities and will reassure you so you feel like the best version of yourself. 

Hopefully this helped you realize you deserve amazing photos that show off all the best things about yourself. Maybe you’ll book a local photographer and lean into the self love, or at least take time to doll yourself up for some selfies. Celebrate and invest in yourself!
