Since the birth of our son, we have photos taken with our little guy quite often. Every time we do, the two or three hours prior to stepping out in front of the camera, I start stressing out.

Crazy right?

The photographer stresses out when he’s being photographed!

As a photographer, the last thing you would think I would do is stress out about my own photo being taken.

However, know that no matter who you are, you will always have “what if’s” that could go wrong with your photography session.

What if my hair looks bad (that’s a joke, since I’m bald)?
What if what I’m wearing looks bad?
What if I look fat?
What if my son does not behave?

So many questions flood my mind!

I’ve learned that I’m not in physical pain, but I am in mental and emotional pain.

So, I’ve come to think of myself as a “pain doctor” to the people I photograph.

When in front of my camera, you are not in physical pain, but more than likely the idea of having your photo taken has stressed you out.  

My job is to relieve that pain as quickly as possible.

My job is to relate to you, get to know you, put you at ease, tell a joke or two and get you laughing.

And before you know it, I’ll say, “And we are all done, great job!”

The mental and emotional pain is gone, you’re still smiling and you’re going to say something like, “that was easy and fun, way better than I expected…”
