More about Lauren W....
What do you love about your job?
I love meeting a client and knowing right away I'm going to change their perspective on how they view themselves. When you've been shooting portraits for a long time, you realize that every single person hates something about their body - and I love turning that self hate into self love. When I take that first photo of them and look at the back of the camera, I get this huge smile on my face! I look back up at my subject and just smile even bigger, because I know their world is only going to get better from here on out. I want my clients to see how beautiful they really are!
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I've been shooting boudoir for awhile now - almost 7 years! And during my shoots I try to reinforce positive talk and reinforcement. I let my clients tell me about their insecurities then they must leave those at the door and leave it all up to me. I can put every body into poses that works all their best assets! (Pun intended!) I'm constantly giving them praise on various things - their outfits, face, body, attitude, etc. And that is what my clients feel like they are a supermodel! It's what makes them feel special.
