Styled Shoot
Ah, styled shoots.
I love brainstorming new ideas and dreaming about how to bring them to live. I love seeing other creative's styled shoots and how beautifully everything seems to just come together.
But then I actually tried to create one. A styled shoot.
To say it was hard work is an understatement. Maybe because it was my first time. Maybe because I tried to tackle this while taking on two other jobs at the same time (#help! Life of an entrepreneur, am I right?!). Maybe because Organized Occasions had really only just begun and I wasn't quite used to being on the "designer" side of things yet. I think it was a combination of all of those factors, but thankfully I pulled through. WE pulled through! I had the most amazing team of "friend-ors" help me breathe life into my ideas and the end product made me SO proud. I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, I challenged my creative side, and the result was nothing short of rewarding. Will I do more styled shoots? Absolutely!
For most, the end goal of doing shoots like these is to gain recognition, open yourself up to a wider audience, earn business, and ultimately get published. And I am BEYOND THRILLED that this shoot was picked up by The Perfect Palette, which is one of my favorite wedding blogs (and Instagram pages: @theperfectpalette)!
