Sometimes I can’t believe that part of my job is about having fun with strangers! Yes, I know I run a business and create portraits for people, but when it boils down to it, they would be pretty crap portraits if we weren’t all having fun at our portrait session. And so it’s up to me to bring the fun to every session. I usually have a quick video consultation with the mom or dad who booked the session, but other than that, we are effectively strangers meeting each other for the first time in real life ;)
Getting peoole to laugh is a great way to break the ice, especially if someone is nervous. Go out on a limb, crack and joke and feel the energy change. I had SO much fun with this family!! It really felt like the kids and I had always known each other, as we ran around the park (yes, I ran with some extremely heavy gear hanging around my neck!), and cracked jokes together! I basically had the best of fun with strangers!
Try having some fun with a stranger today. You’ll both walk away feeling happier for the exchange ;)
