Miss "I am not photogenic"

 This is Meggan Bishop, and today I took head shots for this beautiful woman. But one of the first things she tells me is how she is not photogenic. As a photographer, I hear people say that a lot. I always hear people saying how they do not like how they look in photos, how it never turns out right, how they cannot stand being in front of the camera, and the list goes on and on. But also as a photographer, here is what I have to say... each person has their own personality, their own charm, their own attractiveness, allurement, and their own things that make them stand out. I personally believe that it is my job to go and photograph you in a way that tells the story of you. Meggan is a beautiful woman inside and out. She is full of laughter and fun and God's love; She has a gorgeous smile and personality. But here is a girl who usually does not like how her picture turns out. We went over her pictures after the shoot today, and she was so excited! She said that she usually freezes in front of the camera, but I was able to make her feel comfortable and to just have fun. I love to have fun myself, and I want each one of my clients to feel like they can be themselves with me. I am not out to just photograph, I am out to photograph you, who you are from the inside out. I want your personality to shine through and to capture the smile that encompasses all of who you are. That is one of my main goals! I want to have fun, be creative, play around, and put all of my effort into each shoot that I have! I am blessed to have been able to shoot these photos of Meggan and for everyone else out there who feels like they are "not photogenic" and hate having their picture taken, I hope you read this and believe it. You are perfect just the way you are, and I want to help inspire confidence for you to be you. As the saying goes, "You only have one life to live, why not live yours?"
