These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:03,460 --> 00:00:05,900 I am so happy to be here talking 2 00:00:05,900 --> 00:00:08,240 today about how I shoot an engagement session. 3 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,740 Now, I'm excited because in a future lesson, 4 00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:13,240 I'm going to talk about why and how 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,780 I structure my business to book about half 6 00:00:15,780 --> 00:00:16,980 my clients online. 7 00:00:17,380 --> 00:00:19,760 So most of our email transactions are what 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,500 set us up for the engagement session. 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200 And this is exactly and precisely what happened 10 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,560 today with Samantha and Taylor. 11 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,340 The lesson I'm going to be focusing on 12 00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:30,120 is how I shoot their engagement session. 13 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,700 But before I get there, I want to 14 00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:34,960 introduce again, Samantha and Taylor to you guys. 15 00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:36,280 Now, you at this point may or may 16 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,180 not know that they were the Knot Magazine's 17 00:00:39,180 --> 00:00:39,980 dream wedding couple. 18 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:42,320 They were voted by the audience, and at 19 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,960 a later point in time, I was chosen 20 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,240 as a lucky wedding photographer. 21 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,920 Now, to make things even better, CreativeLive joined 22 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,700 me for this engagement session, because they wanted 23 00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:52,980 to give photographers a behind-the-scenes look 24 00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:55,280 at my approach and what I do. 25 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,260 Now, we're going to get into those things, 26 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,100 and yes, I will be talking about my 27 00:00:59,100 --> 00:00:59,460 posing. 28 00:00:59,460 --> 00:01:01,180 And yes, I will be talking about different 29 00:01:01,180 --> 00:01:01,880 aspects of it. 30 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,580 But what I want to focus on specifically 31 00:01:03,580 --> 00:01:05,280 is getting a lay of the land when 32 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,500 it comes to creating engagement session and walking 33 00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,460 your clients through, and at the end, making 34 00:01:09,460 --> 00:01:10,800 them confident as a result. 35 00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:13,080 Now, I want to talk a little bit 36 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,220 about what an engagement session outline looks like 37 00:01:16,220 --> 00:01:17,240 from my perspective. 38 00:01:17,780 --> 00:01:21,480 And this video, we'll talk about posing, yes. 39 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,260 But we're going to get into actually the 40 00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:27,100 theories and my approaches in regards to posing. 41 00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:28,960 We addressed this in a future lesson, and 42 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,540 that was how to shoot with intention. 43 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,180 So if you've been with us for the 44 00:01:32,180 --> 00:01:33,940 30 days, you will now see the words 45 00:01:33,940 --> 00:01:35,640 that I choose and how I implement them. 46 00:01:35,860 --> 00:01:37,160 But the things I want to focus on 47 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,580 today will be, one, finding the best place 48 00:01:40,580 --> 00:01:43,080 to start the shoot based on the location 49 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:43,640 that you're given. 50 00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:47,280 Secondly, I want to teach you and show 51 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,860 you how to create a photo map. 52 00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:50,860 Now, a photo map is just a way 53 00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:52,780 in your mind, not to share with your 54 00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:54,960 clients, but for you to know where I'm 55 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,200 going, how I'm going to get there, and 56 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,760 where am I going to end the session. 57 00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:01,880 Now, myself, I usually create these maps based 58 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,220 on where I think light is going to 59 00:02:03,220 --> 00:02:05,100 be the most favorable at any given point 60 00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:05,480 in time. 61 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,080 Thirdly, I'm going to talk about how to 62 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,580 deal with a difficult location and or difficult 63 00:02:11,580 --> 00:02:12,620 weather considerations. 64 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:15,000 Now, I was not planning on talking about 65 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,480 this, but when I got to the session, 66 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,820 I realized that two things had happened. 67 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,880 It was so much brighter than I had 68 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,940 anticipated, because there wasn't any trees to cast 69 00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:25,560 any sort of shade. 70 00:02:26,140 --> 00:02:28,640 And also, it was so inordinately windy. 71 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,920 We were shooting along the coast, and everyone's 72 00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:31,920 hair was flying everywhere. 73 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,320 And I kind of had to take these 74 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,420 into consideration as we headed into the shoot. 75 00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:39,320 Fourthly, what it looks like to actually meet 76 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,020 the client for the first time at the 77 00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:41,700 engagement session. 78 00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:44,440 This could be slightly disconcerting for photographers, so 79 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:45,720 you're going to see how I do it. 80 00:02:45,740 --> 00:02:47,080 And I'm not saying that the way I 81 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,360 meet clients is the best way. 82 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,820 I'm simply showing how I do it so 83 00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,040 that maybe you can take the things that 84 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,480 you like and omit the things that you 85 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,040 might not. 86 00:02:55,340 --> 00:02:57,680 Fifthly, I want to explain what the client 87 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,640 should expect from that session. 88 00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,620 Up until this point, you know how I 89 00:03:01,620 --> 00:03:03,200 prepare my clients, and you know that I 90 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,180 have set those expectations via email. 91 00:03:05,460 --> 00:03:07,560 But now I will set those expectations as 92 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,740 a reminder in person. 93 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,500 Lastly, I'm going to be outlining the shoot. 94 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,620 And once I outline the shoot, outline the 95 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:15,680 shoot that I want them to have a 96 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,240 good time, that I want them to have 97 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,260 fun, that I want them to relax, that 98 00:03:19,260 --> 00:03:20,660 I want them to get great photos as 99 00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:23,440 a result, then I better deliver on that 100 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,920 promise. 101 00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:24,920 Right now I'm going to show you the 102 00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,960 video and how exactly all this shoot has 103 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:27,440 unfolded. 104 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,460 Hi guys, I'm extra amped today because we 105 00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:33,120 are in Los Angeles, California. 106 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,480 I'm here to be shooting an engagement session, 107 00:03:35,620 --> 00:03:37,820 but not just any engagement session, a very 108 00:03:37,820 --> 00:03:39,040 special engagement session. 109 00:03:39,300 --> 00:03:40,920 I'm excited because I'm going to be working 110 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,060 with Samantha and Taylor. 111 00:03:42,220 --> 00:03:43,460 And Samantha and Taylor are going to be 112 00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:45,800 the couple that's getting married for the Not 113 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,480 Dream wedding that's going to be filmed as 114 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:48,300 part of this course. 115 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,000 This is going to be the first time 116 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:50,820 that I'm meeting them. 117 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,620 And meeting them in person, we've corresponded only 118 00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:55,280 via email, so that's going to be a 119 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680 little bit, it's a little nerve wracking, it's 120 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280 a little exciting, it's a little new, and 121 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,880 I'm excited to get it all captured on 122 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,260 camera. 123 00:04:02,540 --> 00:04:03,900 But before we get there, I want to 124 00:04:03,900 --> 00:04:05,080 bring us up to pace. 125 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,860 This particular engagement session won't be so much 126 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:09,280 about posing, I don't think. 127 00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:10,680 I think what I'm really going to focus 128 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,840 on is the logistics behind planning for the 129 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,500 engagement session. 130 00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,480 Yes, I will be going through poses, yes, 131 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:16,560 I'll be showing what I'm doing. 132 00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:18,579 But let's start at the beginning and kind 133 00:04:18,579 --> 00:04:20,040 of build the building blocks to get to 134 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,260 ultimately where we're going to be. 135 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,620 Now, I request that all of my couples 136 00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:26,460 choose a location for their engagement session. 137 00:04:26,740 --> 00:04:29,840 Today, we're at Abalone Cove in Rancho Palos 138 00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,240 Verdes, California, which is Los Angeles. 139 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,580 And what we're going to do is walk 140 00:04:34,580 --> 00:04:36,700 you through where I'm going to shoot the 141 00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:36,920 couple. 142 00:04:37,220 --> 00:04:39,260 Now, I'm going to be really honest and 143 00:04:39,260 --> 00:04:40,820 let you know that I had a minor 144 00:04:40,820 --> 00:04:42,540 panic freak out attack. 145 00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:45,260 Because it's so bright right now, it's so 146 00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:46,700 bright, it's so windy. 147 00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:48,920 And when I arrived to this park and 148 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,880 cove that I've never shot it before, I 149 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,420 realized there are no trees or there's like 150 00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:55,880 one tree in a big massive field. 151 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,960 And you're going to see what I'm talking 152 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,180 about. 153 00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:58,640 So I'm going to kind of walk this 154 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,080 way and talk about the things I'm going 155 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,680 to avoid. 156 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,260 And then we're going to walk back and 157 00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,040 talk about where I think I should start 158 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,340 the session based on light. 159 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:08,600 My first and foremost consideration would be light. 160 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,920 So kind of let's take a look at 161 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,840 what we're given and then how I'm going 162 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:12,860 to map things out. 163 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,600 As I'm walking, what I'm thinking is I 164 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,100 have to take wind into consideration. 165 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,600 The wind is blowing in this direction. 166 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,460 And so I know that if I shoot 167 00:05:21,460 --> 00:05:24,220 backlit for my subjects, that her hair will 168 00:05:24,220 --> 00:05:25,600 likely come into her face. 169 00:05:25,660 --> 00:05:28,340 The minute I got here, I emailed, I 170 00:05:28,340 --> 00:05:30,400 texted her, and I asked her to bring 171 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320 bobby pins and a rubber band if it 172 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,720 was all possible, because it is so darn 173 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,040 windy. 174 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,520 So as I'm walking, I'm squinting, which indicates 175 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,260 to me, it's far too bright to have 176 00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:44,040 my subjects be looking in this direction. 177 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,040 And that's okay. 178 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,820 Knowing this, I think in the back of 179 00:05:46,820 --> 00:05:48,880 my mind, I'm going to start the session 180 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,080 a little bit slower. 181 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,440 And I'm going to start the session slower 182 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,320 so that I can buy myself time to 183 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,260 let the sun drop. 184 00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:56,080 Now, I'm going to come over here and 185 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,260 I'm going to kind of take a look 186 00:05:58,260 --> 00:05:59,840 about what I've been given. 187 00:06:00,820 --> 00:06:03,100 So we're actually on a cliff, which is 188 00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:04,080 very common in California. 189 00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:06,860 And then it descends down onto the beach. 190 00:06:06,860 --> 00:06:09,620 Now, traditionally, I like to save the beach 191 00:06:09,620 --> 00:06:10,700 photos till the end. 192 00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:12,360 I like to save the parts that I'm 193 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,940 really excited to shoot in at the end 194 00:06:13,940 --> 00:06:15,600 of the shoot, because by then, my clients 195 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,220 are warmed up, and they feel confident, and 196 00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:18,320 they feel great, and they've had a little 197 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:18,940 bit of experience. 198 00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:21,580 But given my light options, so she had 199 00:06:21,580 --> 00:06:22,680 said there was two locations. 200 00:06:23,140 --> 00:06:25,440 One location was going to be here in 201 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,140 this upper area, kind of like a park 202 00:06:27,140 --> 00:06:27,420 area. 203 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,880 And then another part of the session would 204 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,880 be down towards the beach. 205 00:06:31,340 --> 00:06:33,400 Well, I assumed that when she had said 206 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,980 park, that there would be some trees and 207 00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:36,080 we don't have that luxury. 208 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,280 So what I'm going to do is I'm 209 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,920 going to ask, I'm going to take charge. 210 00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:39,840 I'm going to say, I think that we 211 00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:40,880 should start down by the water. 212 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,600 And part of the reason why I think 213 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,180 we should start by the water is because 214 00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:46,260 I can have, I can use some rocks 215 00:06:46,260 --> 00:06:49,280 and some shrubbery to actually kind of create 216 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:50,360 more softer light. 217 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:51,860 Hopefully, I'll be able, once I get down 218 00:06:51,860 --> 00:06:53,700 there, to see the light diffused in a 219 00:06:53,700 --> 00:06:54,080 different way. 220 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,620 So instead of walking all the way down 221 00:06:55,620 --> 00:06:57,880 the cove with the cameras, I'm going to 222 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,400 wait until my clients get here. 223 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,060 We're going to talk about a few things. 224 00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:02,260 And then I'm going to ask if we 225 00:07:02,260 --> 00:07:04,480 could shoot the session down by the water 226 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,920 first. 227 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,700 I'll kind of sell that idea, make sure, 228 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:08,620 let her know why I think those reasons 229 00:07:08,620 --> 00:07:10,340 are and why I think they would work. 230 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,760 And then secondly, I'm going to ask if 231 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,120 we can end the session up here, which 232 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,680 I think would actually work really well. 233 00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:16,400 Because since we're going to be elevated, I 234 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,340 could shoot at a distance. 235 00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:19,020 And what I can get is, since we're 236 00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:20,760 elevated, I can get the ocean, the endless 237 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:21,720 ocean off in the background. 238 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:24,220 And then hopefully, sunset will work in our 239 00:07:24,220 --> 00:07:25,780 favor so that they can be walking and 240 00:07:25,780 --> 00:07:27,280 then we get some nice shrubbery up here 241 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,180 in the park area. 242 00:07:28,580 --> 00:07:31,280 So just initially looking at what I've been 243 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,580 given, the photo map would consist of probably 244 00:07:33,580 --> 00:07:34,800 three main locations. 245 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,240 The three main locations would be this park 246 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,260 area that I've already discussed, I will probably 247 00:07:39,260 --> 00:07:41,340 save for the end due to light and 248 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:43,900 limited areas to create open shade. 249 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,520 The second location will be the trail leading 250 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,180 us down to Abalone Cove, which is the 251 00:07:49,180 --> 00:07:49,600 beach. 252 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,560 So there's areas that have like switchbacks along 253 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,300 the mountainside. 254 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,120 So I'll probably be shooting them there. 255 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,700 It'll probably be the area that I could 256 00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:59,800 leverage as much kind of shaded light as 257 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,640 possible, which is my number one priority. 258 00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:03,840 And then the third location on my photo 259 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,080 map would be the beach. 260 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,200 Once I actually shoot through the switchbacks, I'm 261 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,160 gonna get down to the beach. 262 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,440 I'm gonna place them in very basic poses. 263 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,280 And as I'm putting them basic poses, I'm 264 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,180 keeping in the back of my mind light 265 00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:15,040 and location. 266 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,620 And then once I have those two things 267 00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:18,520 down, I'm then going to move into what 268 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,580 the poses will look like. 269 00:08:19,660 --> 00:08:22,060 So knowing where you want to start and 270 00:08:22,060 --> 00:08:23,640 where you wanna go in the middle always 271 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,000 relieves stress in a very big way. 272 00:08:26,220 --> 00:08:27,120 And so I'm gonna talk you through what 273 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:27,720 I've been doing that. 274 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,600 So I'm gonna have somebody off camera reminding 275 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,960 me where I'm going in the photo map 276 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,700 and why I'm choosing those locations. 277 00:08:32,700 --> 00:08:34,900 And we're gonna outline it later on, points 278 00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:36,539 one, two, and three, and then fill in 279 00:08:36,539 --> 00:08:37,780 the gaps with the poses in between. 280 00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:38,520 I hope that helps. 281 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:40,480 Okay, so right now we're just gonna kind 282 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,960 of just chill, hang out. 283

00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:09,070 actually blocking the center, or the nucleus of 571 00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:10,970 the sun, which is allowing me to shoot 572 00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:14,510 backlit without

sun but I think so 787 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:10,780 far we're still okay beautiful yes now look 788 00:25:10,780 --> 00:25:16,280 down beautiful eyes here well now let's yeah 789 00:25:16,280 -->

me good eyes down 800 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:13,500 take a deep breath good eyes here good 801 00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:18,320 yes so JD took Samantha and Taylor off 802 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,200 to a different location real quick just to 803 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:21,560 give me a few seconds to bring us 804 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,460 up to speed with what's happening so far 805 00:26:23,460 --> 00:26:25,360 so I started this session I'm going to 806 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,040 be completely honest I had a complete freak 807 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,900 out moment of this is too bright this 808 00:26:28,900 --> 00:26:30,220 is too windy I think that the odds 809 00:26:30,220 --> 00:26:32,660 are stacked against me but so far so 810 00:26:32,660 --> 00:26:34,940 good I'm taking the very limited space that 811 00:26:34,940 --> 00:26:36,280 I have and trying to make it work 812 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,900 but more than anything what I feel like 813 00:26:37,900 --> 00:26:39,360 I'm trying to do is make them really 814 00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,000 comfortable and give them the confidence that I 815 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,980 think they need to really shine we just 816 00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:44,800 came off the session of watching Samantha really 817 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,620 bloom in front of the camera I absolutely 818 00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:48,280 love the portrait that I got of her 819 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,020 and I think it will look fantastic in 820 00:26:50,020 --> 00:26:51,800 black and white now my goal for this 821 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,280 next part of the session is to focus 822 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,860 a little bit more on Taylor we'll do 823 00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:56,940 a couple more movement shots with them but 824 00:26:56,940 --> 00:26:59,380 up to date so far on our shooting 825 00:26:59,380 --> 00:27:01,500 map our shooting map has just been the 826 00:27:01,500 --> 00:27:04,600 trail back down to this area that's point 827 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,000 one now we're going to head out a 828 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,120 little bit more towards point two which is 829 00:27:08,120 --> 00:27:09,680 by the ocean so that's kind of where 830 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,720 we're going to head right now we'll do 831 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,260 Taylor we're going to do an alpha change 832 00:27:13,260 --> 00:27:14,580 we're going to be by the beach and 833 00:27:14,580 --> 00:27:15,780 that will kind of work us through the 834 00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,040 second part of our photo map so let's 835 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,760 go let's just try this first I kind 836 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,420 of like it kind of going up so 837 00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:25,200 you can scoot as far back as close 838 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:31,040 however you yeah yeah that's nice so I 839 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,680 love the way that your hands are crossed 840 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,400 right now and then in a few seconds 841 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,200 I might have you just open them so 842 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,660 that they dip down in between your legs 843 00:27:37,660 --> 00:27:40,180 just no still with the hands on the 844 00:27:40,180 --> 00:27:43,720 knees but instead of so like that kind 845 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,500 of just exactly but first here second here 846 00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:49,460 and then just have you like look out 847 00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:51,900 so we're thinking of like kind of sitting 848 00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:53,560 court side but extra pensive because you're at 849 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,100 the beach but don't worry I'll make it 850 00:27:55,100 --> 00:27:56,120 look cool you gotta trust me on this 851 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,220 okay I'm at a no I'm going to 852 00:28:01,220 --> 00:28:02,980 have you rotate yeah right now I'm just 853 00:28:02,980 --> 00:28:04,740 going to test the light exactly and then 854 00:28:04,740 --> 00:28:05,600 if I want you to look at me 855 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:06,960 I'll let you know but right now we're 856 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,180 just going to chill I'm going to test 857 00:28:08,180 --> 00:28:16,530 the light so right now I'm overexposed and 858 00:28:16,530 --> 00:28:18,530 it's still really the sun is really high 859 00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:19,550 in the sky so it's going to be 860 00:28:19,550 --> 00:28:21,950 competing behind Taylor's head what I want to 861 00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:23,230 do now is just kind of compensate for 862 00:28:23,230 --> 00:28:26,170 the light I'll be using my hand as 863 00:28:26,170 --> 00:28:32,230 a lens hood yeah this light is now 864 00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:34,330 fantastic I'm at 2.0 2000th of a 865 00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:41,950 second 125

00:28:54,680 so because the sun is behind him it's 869 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,460 getting a little harder to focus but now 870 00:28:56,460 --> 00:29:01,240 once I lock in great can you release 871 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,240 your hands but then less kink in the 872 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,920 there we go but just kind of there 873 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,940 we go there we go now I like 874 00:29:11,940 --> 00:29:13,260 the way that your right hand is placed 875 00:29:13,260 --> 00:29:14,540 on your with your left hand can you 876 00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:15,720 maybe put it up on your

going on with it but I'm 891 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,600 going to bring Taylor and Sam into this 892 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,780 little nearby area it's called Portuguese Bend Nursery 893 00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,980 School but it looks like it's been abandoned 894 00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,620 so we're just gonna kind of take a 895 00:30:19,620 --> 00:30:21,220 walk and see what's in there I'm going 896 00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:24,080 to place my subjects in an illuminated area 897 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,020 and then the things around them are going 898 00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:27,620 to be underexposed but I'm going to try 899 00:30:27,620 --> 00:30:28,540 to do it in such a way that 900 00:30:28,540 --> 00:30:31,840 it conveys like a candid voyeuristic kind of 901 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,800 appeal so let's see how this works Sam 902 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,940 can you back up and then all the 903 00:30:35,940 --> 00:30:37,620 way put your back and then

way because I have his leg up to 910 00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:56,980 level up their heights a bit he just 911 00:30:56,980 --> 00:30:58,060 looked like he was stuck in the middle 912 00:30:58,060 --> 00:30:59,580 now that I have him resting and he's 913 00:30:59,580 --> 00:31:01,440 relaxed I'm going to bring Samantha into that 914 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,960 frame and we're just not going to

it to 800th 951 00:32:13,780 --> 00:32:16,100 of a second relax that arm yes and 952 00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,280 then bring the elbow just slightly rest your 953 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,080 elbow

Samantha 959 00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:40,340 and Taylor brought a few outfits and so 960 00:32:40,340 --> 00:32:43,020 they're asking depending now that we did the 961 00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:44,720 switchbacks down the hill and we're going to 962 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,060 be actually headed down to the beach and 963 00:32:46,060 --> 00:32:47,700 they said what outfit would probably work best 964 00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:49,740 in that scenario I'm going to be partial 965 00:32:49,740 --> 00:32:52,420 and think just due to the light and 966 00:32:52,420 --> 00:32:54,260 that it's an engagement session we have two 967 00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:57,220 options or a couple options for dresses but 968 00:32:57,220 --> 00:32:58,500 because it's so windy I'm going to stay 969 00:32:58,500

really try 1511 00:52:52,430 --> 00:52:52,990 to expedite it. 1512 00:52:53,030 --> 00:52:54,130 I want to show you guys as soon 1513 00:52:54,130 --> 00:52:55,310 as possible and get a sneak peek at 1514 00:52:55,310 --> 00:52:57,090 minimum a week from now. 1515 00:52:57,090 --> 00:52:57,590 If not sooner. 1516 00:52:57,930 --> 00:52:58,670 You guys, thank you. 1517 00:52:58,690 --> 00:52:59,610 Thank you so much. 1518 00:52:59,710 --> 00:53:01,430 So, we just ended the engagement session. 1519 00:53:01,630 --> 00:53:03,970 I could not be more happy with how 1520 00:53:03,970 --> 00:53:04,550 things fared. 1521 00:53:04,790 --> 00:53:06,690 I'm going to be honest, and for the 1522 00:53:06,690 --> 00:53:08,790 video crew and to my amazing husband who 1523 00:53:08,790 --> 00:53:11,110 joined the shoot, I extend my sincerest apologies 1524 00:53:11,110 --> 00:53:12,930 to y'all because I wasn't the happiest 1525 00:53:12,930 --> 00:53:13,250 camper. 1526 00:53:13,390 --> 00:53:14,990 I think I had a little bit or 1527 00:53:14,990 --> 00:53:16,750 a lot of an attitude, and I could 1528 00:53:16,750 --> 00:53:18,370 say that now, but I think that the 1529 00:53:18,370 --> 00:53:20,330 stress that I was carmentalizing was the fact 1530 00:53:20,330 --> 00:53:21,590 that I felt like I was up a 1531 00:53:21,590 --> 00:53:23,490 creek without a paddle, and I think it 1532 00:53:23,490 --> 00:53:26,470 kind of goes to show that even if 1533 00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:28,330 the clients, there was about a 13 to 1534 00:53:28,330 --> 00:53:32,170 14 inch height difference, even when it's so 1535 00:53:32,170 --> 00:53:34,190 bright, and there's not any open shade, and 1536 00:53:34,190 --> 00:53:36,470 even if you really don't know exactly where 1537 00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:37,490 you're going or how you're going to get 1538 00:53:37,490 --> 00:53:38,630 there, at the end of the day, if 1539 00:53:38,630 --> 00:53:40,130 you set up a photo map, if you 1540 00:53:40,130 --> 00:53:41,730 approach a shoot with confidence, and if you 1541 00:53:41,730 --> 00:53:43,910 try in every situation to find some sort 1542 00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:45,950 of positivity, it does end up working out. 1543 00:53:46,110 --> 00:53:48,610 I think just kind of changing and recalibrating 1544 00:53:48,610 --> 00:53:50,330 where you're going with the intention. 1545 00:53:50,530 --> 00:53:52,330 With the intention of saying, I'm shooting up 1546 00:53:52,330 --> 00:53:53,610 in the field, I'm shooting down at the 1547 00:53:53,610 --> 00:53:55,210 beach, and I'm shooting through the switchbacks as 1548 00:53:55,210 --> 00:53:56,850 we go down, that's going to make the 1549 00:53:56,850 --> 00:53:57,530 biggest difference. 1550 00:53:58,010 --> 00:54:00,010 So having said that, the takeaways would be 1551 00:54:00,010 --> 00:54:03,190 stay positive, stay focused, have an intentional plan, 1552 00:54:03,390 --> 00:54:05,670 and be definitely open to how things might 1553 00:54:05,670 --> 00:54:07,950 re-navigate and then get recalibrated as you 1554 00:54:07,950 --> 00:54:08,750 go through the session. 1555 00:54:09,090 --> 00:54:10,430 I'm so excited for today. 1556 00:54:10,590 --> 00:54:12,290 I look forward to kind of delving into 1557 00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:14,370 the befores and afters as we get into 1558 00:54:14,370 --> 00:54:16,470 post-processing and what the shoot looked like 1559 00:54:16,470 --> 00:54:17,970 in its entirety, and I'm excited to share 1560 00:54:17,970 --> 00:54:18,630 the gallery soon. 1561 00:54:18,790 --> 00:54:20,010 Thanks guys so much for joining us. 1562 00:54:20,070 --> 00:54:20,450 Have a great day. 1563 00:54:20,890 --> 00:54:23,150 I am absolutely smitten with this couple. 1564 00:54:23,150 --> 00:54:26,250 Samantha and Taylor were so incredibly nice, and 1565 00:54:26,250 --> 00:54:27,590 they were so incredibly kind. 1566 00:54:28,050 --> 00:54:30,350 And even though it was very cold, and 1567 00:54:30,350 --> 00:54:32,770 even though it was very windy, they made 1568 00:54:32,770 --> 00:54:33,390 the best of it. 1569 00:54:33,470 --> 00:54:35,110 And because they made the best of it, 1570 00:54:35,450 --> 00:54:36,630 they absolutely loved their photos. 1571 00:54:36,930 --> 00:54:38,750 In a future lesson, I'm going to show 1572 00:54:38,750 --> 00:54:40,570 you how I cull the images from the 1573 00:54:40,570 --> 00:54:40,810 shoot. 1574 00:54:41,230 --> 00:54:42,590 I'm also going to show you how I 1575 00:54:42,590 --> 00:54:44,490 edit the images from the shoot and the 1576 00:54:44,490 --> 00:54:45,890 things that I use to make the photos 1577 00:54:45,890 --> 00:54:46,930 look the way that I want them. 1578 00:54:47,150 --> 00:54:48,950 And also, I will be talking about how 1579 00:54:48,950 --> 00:54:51,330 I use these images as marketing resources. 1580 00:54:51,330 --> 00:54:53,630 Yes, for my business, and yes, to make 1581 00:54:53,630 --> 00:54:54,350 my clients happy. 1582 00:54:54,550 --> 00:54:55,550 But what I want to do is, I 1583 00:54:55,550 --> 00:54:57,610 want to empower the creative team in advance 1584 00:54:57,610 --> 00:54:59,790 and give them another reason to support and 1585 00:54:59,790 --> 00:55:00,870 get behind this wedding. 1586 00:55:01,610 --> 00:55:03,270 Now, on that note, I want to share 1587 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:05,830 an email that Taylor had sent after they 1588 00:55:05,830 --> 00:55:07,890 had seen the images from the engagement session. 1589 00:55:08,230 --> 00:55:10,610 As a photographer, it's easy to feel a 1590 00:55:10,610 --> 00:55:13,890 little worried about what their response will be. 1591 00:55:14,110 --> 00:55:16,910 Well, when I had released this slideshow to 1592 00:55:16,910 --> 00:55:19,490 my clients, I got a phone call from 1593 00:55:19,490 --> 00:55:21,410 Samantha, and she was in tears, and she 1594 00:55:21,410 --> 00:55:22,550 said, thank you. 1595 00:55:22,690 --> 00:55:25,350 Thank you for showing how I love Taylor 1596 00:55:25,350 --> 00:55:27,530 in a way that other people can see. 1597 00:55:27,950 --> 00:55:29,410 Which was moving, and it was lovely. 1598 00:55:29,990 --> 00:55:31,850 But then Taylor, being just Taylor, the wonderful 1599 00:55:31,850 --> 00:55:33,150 guy that he is, emailed. 1600 00:55:33,890 --> 00:55:35,210 He said, Jasmine, this is Taylor. 1601 00:55:35,650 --> 00:55:36,910 We just wanted to send you a quick 1602 00:55:36,910 --> 00:55:40,050 thank you note, thanking you again for your 1603 00:55:40,050 --> 00:55:41,210 absolutely incredible work. 1604 00:55:41,550 --> 00:55:43,410 The fact that you got this done this 1605 00:55:43,410 --> 00:55:45,510 quickly is simply amazing, and Sam and I 1606 00:55:45,510 --> 00:55:47,990 feel absolutely like the luckiest couple on Earth 1607 00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:48,850 to get to work with you. 1608 00:55:49,350 --> 00:55:51,410 With that said, these photos are out of 1609 00:55:51,410 --> 00:55:52,110 this world perfect. 1610 00:55:52,410 --> 00:55:53,690 I don't know how to express to you 1611 00:55:53,690 --> 00:55:55,910 in words how happy these make Sam and 1612 00:55:55,910 --> 00:55:56,090 I. 1613 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:58,410 It literally brought tears to our eyes when 1614 00:55:58,410 --> 00:55:59,750 we had the chance to go through them 1615 00:55:59,750 --> 00:56:00,070 together. 1616 00:56:00,310 --> 00:56:01,850 We are so excited to share these with 1617 00:56:01,850 --> 00:56:03,830 friends and family, and we'll surely look into 1618 00:56:03,830 --> 00:56:05,170 purchasing some prints from the gallery. 1619 00:56:05,630 --> 00:56:07,010 We can't wait to work with you again. 1620 00:56:07,330 --> 00:56:08,910 Seeing how happy you made Sam with this 1621 00:56:08,910 --> 00:56:10,310 shoot is one of the best things I've 1622 00:56:10,310 --> 00:56:11,890 experienced so far during this journey. 1623 00:56:12,290 --> 00:56:13,710 So thank you from the bottom of my 1624 00:56:13,710 --> 00:56:15,930 heart for providing that for us. 1625 00:56:16,310 --> 00:56:17,270 The pictures are beautiful. 1626 00:56:17,590 --> 00:56:18,990 You were an absolute delight to work with, 1627 00:56:18,990 --> 00:56:20,550 and we couldn't be luckier to have you 1628 00:56:20,550 --> 00:56:21,470 as our wedding photographer. 1629 00:56:22,690 --> 00:56:24,670 Lastly, Sam and I feel it is only 1630 00:56:24,670 --> 00:56:26,670 right to extend an invitation to you and 1631 00:56:26,670 --> 00:56:28,750 your husband to our welcome event the evening 1632 00:56:28,750 --> 00:56:29,510 before the wedding. 1633 00:56:29,910 --> 00:56:31,970 It will be at the Blank in Sonoma 1634 00:56:31,970 --> 00:56:33,970 from 6 to 8 p.m., with light 1635 00:56:33,970 --> 00:56:35,170 snacks and drinks provided. 1636 00:56:35,570 --> 00:56:36,970 We would love for you just to come 1637 00:56:36,970 --> 00:56:39,050 as you are, get to know everyone, and 1638 00:56:39,050 --> 00:56:39,770 enjoy yourselves. 1639 00:56:40,190 --> 00:56:41,990 I'm sure we'll talk soon, but once again, 1640 00:56:42,110 --> 00:56:43,810 thank you for all your hard work and 1641 00:56:43,810 --> 00:56:45,970 providing us memories that will last a lifetime, 1642 00:56:46,290 --> 00:56:47,070 Taylor and Sam. 1643 00:56:48,070 --> 00:56:49,290 I don't know why I get a little 1644 00:56:49,290 --> 00:56:49,790 choked up. 1645 00:56:49,930 --> 00:56:53,110 I feel like it brings so much satisfaction 1646 00:56:54,970 --> 00:56:58,030 and gratification to actually reach to people, show 1647 00:56:58,030 --> 00:56:58,470 their love. 1648 00:56:58,530 --> 00:57:00,450 But what I think I get a little 1649 00:57:00,450 --> 00:57:02,250 bit moved by is that Sam and Taylor, 1650 00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:04,870 they share a simple love. 1651 00:57:05,290 --> 00:57:07,170 And the fact that they are inviting J 1652 00:57:07,170 --> 00:57:09,390 .D. and I into that, the fact that 1653 00:57:09,390 --> 00:57:12,170 the knot is covering this wedding, and otherwise 1654 00:57:12,170 --> 00:57:13,730 they would not be able to afford to 1655 00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:14,110 get married. 1656 00:57:14,450 --> 00:57:15,750 So the fact that they're having a small, 1657 00:57:15,930 --> 00:57:18,270 intimate welcome dinner with their closest friends and 1658 00:57:18,270 --> 00:57:20,290 family, and they invite my husband and I 1659 00:57:20,290 --> 00:57:22,670 to join them without any preconceived notions of 1660 00:57:22,670 --> 00:57:24,990 us shooting, means so much to me. 1661 00:57:25,130 --> 00:57:26,650 It means that they value me as a 1662 00:57:26,650 --> 00:57:28,530 person as much as they value me as 1663 00:57:28,530 --> 00:57:29,230 their photographer. 1664 00:57:29,690 --> 00:57:31,870 And I hope the same for every photographer. 1665 00:57:32,250 --> 00:57:33,990 We have prepared to get us to this 1666 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:34,230 point. 1667 00:57:34,510 --> 00:57:35,770 We have set our expectations. 1668 00:57:36,010 --> 00:57:37,510 We have outlined what we wanted, and then 1669 00:57:37,510 --> 00:57:38,450 we deliver on that. 1670 00:57:38,750 --> 00:57:41,430 And because we do it so articulately, our 1671 00:57:41,430 --> 00:57:43,330 clients feel loved and they feel supported. 1672 00:57:43,550 --> 00:57:44,770 And I want the same for you. 1673 00:57:44,770 --> 00:57:47,190 On that note, totally had a girl moment. 1674 00:57:47,950 --> 00:57:49,050 Get to our homework. 1675 00:57:49,510 --> 00:57:50,450 I'm going to do this in a manly 1676 00:57:50,450 --> 00:57:51,430 voice as much as possible. 1677 00:57:52,170 --> 00:57:52,870 What I want you to do at your 1678 00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:54,930 next photo shoot, I want you to arrive 1679 00:57:54,930 --> 00:57:56,970 at least 30 minutes early and create a 1680 00:57:56,970 --> 00:57:57,530 photo map. 1681 00:57:57,670 --> 00:58:02,450 It's easy to feel overwhelmed and completely, like 1682 00:58:02,450 --> 00:58:03,950 life is against you when it comes to 1683 00:58:03,950 --> 00:58:05,550 light and weather and maybe location. 1684 00:58:05,930 --> 00:58:06,790 But what I want you to do is 1685 00:58:06,790 --> 00:58:08,250 I want you to assess the location. 1686 00:58:08,690 --> 00:58:10,650 I want you to establish where you're going 1687 00:58:10,650 --> 00:58:12,730 to start the session, where you're going to 1688 00:58:12,730 --> 00:58:14,970 pause the session so that your clients will 1689 00:58:14,970 --> 00:58:16,910 have the opportunity to change if that's something 1690 00:58:16,910 --> 00:58:17,570 they want to do. 1691 00:58:18,030 --> 00:58:19,210 And then I want you to also know 1692 00:58:19,210 --> 00:58:20,470 where you're going to end the session. 1693 00:58:20,590 --> 00:58:22,130 Because if you could tell your clients and 1694 00:58:22,130 --> 00:58:23,830 keep them up to date, it lets them 1695 00:58:23,830 --> 00:58:25,210 know that you are prepared and then they 1696 00:58:25,210 --> 00:58:25,690 trust you. 1697 00:58:26,070 --> 00:58:28,590 Lastly, I want to remind you, if you 1698 00:58:28,590 --> 00:58:30,330 fail to plan, you plan to fail. 1699 00:58:30,430 --> 00:58:31,090 What I want you to do is I 1700 00:58:31,090 --> 00:58:32,410 want you to know where you're going. 1701 00:58:32,750 --> 00:58:33,990 And once you know where you're going, I 1702 00:58:33,990 --> 00:58:35,990 want you to create a mind map of 1703 00:58:35,990 --> 00:58:36,970 how you're going to get there. 1704 00:58:37,050 --> 00:58:38,390 It will make you feel more confident and 1705 00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:39,730 assure that you can deliver on the end 1706 00:58:39,730 --> 00:58:40,010 product. 1707 00:58:40,530 --> 00:58:41,350 Thank you guys so much. 116079
