Your go-to place for all kinds of helpful tips & advice to make your intimate portrait session perfect!
Josie is my best and oldest friend! We’ve been friends since my sophomore year of high school, where we met via our high school dance team. We later went to college together and ended up roommates my senior year!
She’s been an incredible source of love and friendship, and she has always been so supportive of me and my little business.
I was thrilled when she wanted to do her own virtual session, and I am so happy with how these photos turned out!
I love working with Laura on in-person shoots, so when I saw she was doing virtual ones I had to hop on the opportunity!
It was incredibly easy to navigate! I just had to prop my phone up on some DIY tripods 🙂 and Laura did all the work from there! You just had to pose and do your thing while she does her thing! It felt kind of cool to be ‘setting up’ your own photoshoot and angles! And Laura has a great eye for the best spots in the house/lighting/angles, etc!
I’ve been lucky because I’m quarantined with loved ones! So thankfully I haven’t felt too isolated or lonely. I’ve also noticed a huge spike in how much I talk to my friends! Whether it’s via chat, text, FaceTime, virtual yoga, etc. The extra attention to keeping quality friendships is definitely something I want to continue after quarantine is over.

Yoga everyday!
I have been loving listening to ‘Glorious’ by Ella Henderson, and ‘Never Seen the Rain’ by Tones and I.
Being able to have friend group gatherings. I love hosting so I miss that! As well as the warm weather – where you at Sun?!
Going on walks outside with friends, getting friends together, hugging people.
Create and foster genuine friendships. Friends can help you through so much – it’s so important to keep those friendships and relationships strong.
Workouts: YogiApproved, Yoga with Tim, Sarah Beth Yoga, Boho Beautiful, Nike Training Club app
Shows: rewatching New Girl, & just started Money Heist
Off-screen activities: do a puzzle, learn a new dance (Salsa, Brazilian Zouk, etc), craft, board games, create a meal from a recipe, read.
* A note from Laura: if you’re going to shop for activities, be sure to support a local small business! Your community needs and deserves your money and support. Amazon definitely doesn’t.
