Interested in a session with Caitlin Claire Studio, see investment opportunities here!
Let’s get honest for a second. We are all our own worst critic. There is no denying that, I see it everyday in myself and unfortunately, I see it most in the youth around me. We have this idea in our heads that if we aren’t what our friends are, or have what they have, we aren’t as good.
Frickity frack that! (You know what words I really mean here.)
I was my worst enemy in high school. Ugh, it pains me to think back to those days. If I could do HS over, I would! And I’d be as ruthless as I am now with my thoughts, dreams, words, etc. I have a firm belief that being yourself is more important than making friends. And if we’re realistic about that, being ourselves will make us the best kind of friend!
Proof is in the pudding… or in this case, the pictures. My first senior session this year was with eleven best friends and it was AMAZING!! I hope every senior I ever work with knows how amazing they are in their own skin. I will work hard to share that belief with them every single day. And in a world where we are constantly asked to compare ourselves, I hope Caitlin Claire Studio seniors know I’m comparing them with the best version of themselves and no one or anything else. Be better than you were yesterday, that’s it.
I’ve been working with The Free Market for a few months now on their image galleries and am really enjoying it. Every few weeks or so, they have specific projects in mind that need photographing and other times we go with the flow and photograph in season items for social media use. You may have seen a few of these beauties on their Facebook page, and soon you’ll see them on Instagram too! Small steps in the right directions always count as progress!
Fresh imagery doesn’t have to be out of this world fancy or feel unattainable. Most times, the simplest of setups and consistency is what will skyrocket your business above the rest. And who better to tackle that project than anyone but you?? Really! Hiring out for the tasks that are not your strong suit or that you know can be done with greater ease by a professional in that field will not only save you time, but also money, in the long run!
If you have, or know of a business, that would benefit from regularly updated images like these – send a note my way! I’d love to hear about your project and help you manage your business with professional images that represent your brand exactly how you see it!
Louis V || Puppy Cake Smash
One year old is BIG deal, puppy or human, right?! I think so! When Lauren of The Flower Mill asked about photos for Louis and his first birthday I of course said YES! She brought along a beautiful cake made just for him from Whisk & Arrow, one of my favorite neighbors here on Wisconsin Avenue in Appleton.
I love a simple smash session because you never know if the one year old will dig in and go for it, or just bark at the cake when it tips over… ha!
Happy Birthday buddy! Hope you’re still enjoying all the kisses from mom and the sweet chain from dad.
