As a predominately natural light photographer, I tend to start my sessions at 10:30AM to allow for the best natural light in the studio.
I love a good routine, and keeping most of my sessions around the same time allows me to provide a consistent and magical experience to each wonderful soul who walks through my doors.
But I’m also an artist, and routines for artists can sometimes become a little stagnant.
That is, of course, unless you’re making space to play
and shake sh*t up.
Enter: the importance of scheduling in creative sessions.
Making space to play, be creative, and do something entirely different helps keep your artistic brain on its proverbial toes. It’s important to throw everything you’re comfortable with out the window, and get wildly uncomfortable (and tbh probably a little bit frustrated) in the name of art.
It’s in these spaces of newness and discomfort that we find growth, expansion, and playfulness.
I will forever be grateful for Alison, my hair and makeup artist, for always being up for my creative whims and rolling with me when I say “I have a weird idea” or “I bought a new light” or I “I want to try something”
Have you stepped outside your comfort zone lately?
