Finding my style ...

As a new photographer, there is nothing more exciting than preparing for a session. I love the whole process -- the initial conversation with a client, learning people's stories, preserving a moment in time for them ... then watching them open their package and seeing the look on their faces when they glimpse their photos for the first time.

 ... aaah ...  love.

But, part of being a new photographer is wiggling your way through some less than comfortable decisions as well. Defining a vision for your work (studio? location?), staying true to yourself (no, I'm so sorry, I just don't do selective color in portraits), getting your brand to a place where it really states who you are (4 logo changes and counting!) --in short, finding your style.

... tough stuff.

Thankfully, there are some truly remarkable companies to help a girl through the process. One such find (a personal favorite) is Design Aglow. They never (ever) fail to offer the most intriguing designs and inspiring ideas. Check out these gorgeous examples, which I hope to start incorporating in the new year :

A photo collage (just think ... a whole session on one canvas!)...

Album templates ... so lovely!

yikes! ... my hormones really can't take these precious announcement cards ...

Thank you Design Aglow for your utter awesomeness ... I'm brimming with ideas!

... see you all in the new year!
