I took the weekend off from social media, and as always, it was such a good break. It’s important to step away sometimes. We get inundated with so much information, so many opinions, so much of everything on social media... and while I think that can be a good thing when we are following accounts sharing different perspectives so that we can more fully understand issues outside of our own reality, we also need to give ourselves the time & space to really let it all sink in. To think through what we’ve heard to really learn from it. To take that and process it & begin having actual face-to-face conversations about it. We have to make sure these lessons we are learning are taking root in our hearts, not just taking space on our feeds or in our stories. #bebetter #dobetter #bmariephoto #bmariephotobrand

Can I let you in on a brand photography secret?? You don't necessarily have to rent out studio space to get the images you're wanting. Yes, it can be great, but it isn't a requirement - especially if that's not in your budget!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I'm pretty sure that looking at this image, you'd never guess I was in the game room of our house... standing on a blue couch... with toys & school work & empty kids' cups scattered all over the floor. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I knew I wanted a clean, white background for a few images, and so I took the painting off the wall over the couch, hopped up & had @holmesmm1 stand on a stool on the other side of the room so that he could still get a straight on/slightly elevated angle so that it was more flattering than him photographing me from slightly below my eye level. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ During brand sessions, I am always looking for creative ways (like me taking down artwork & standing on a couch) to give my clients a wide variety of images so that their gallery can serve them for a long time! #bmariephoto #bmariephotobrand

This is not the caption I had planned for this post. I had typed out a full post about a simple wardrobe tip based on this image from a brand session... But I can't talk about that right now. I can't post that content when all I think as I look at this image is how I don't have to be scared to walk down the street. I don't have to fear for my children's lives when they leave our home. But that is not the case for so. many. people. I can't talk about brand tips when my heart is heavy & my stomach is sick. I have to be honest & say that I haven't spoken out before in the fear that as a white woman, I would say it wrong. That I would be unintentionally offensive. But you know what? That fear is NOTHING compared to the fear so many are living in everyday, & it should not keep me quiet. What I can say now is that I am working to educate myself more so that I can do better & I can raise my girls to do better. What has been happening is not ok & I am going to do my part to learn & grow & open myself up to figuring out how I can live with Jesus' heart for ALL people, & be a part of figuring out how we can heal our society. #georgefloyd

I love having fresh flowers on my desk - even if it's just a few from the backyard... but you know what I love more??? That I 👏🏻 didn't 👏🏻 take 👏🏻 this 👏🏻 photo!!! 👏🏻I taught @holmesmm1 how to shoot in manual years ago, and he recently decided to pick the camera back up... and this is the photo he took! 😍 If you're ready to learn to use your DSLR in manual to take photos for your business or document memories for your family, you can learn from me in the comfort of your own home!! (Pjs are most definitely welcome.) Just follow the link in my profile to sign up for the Light Lessons Online Workshop - you'll get video content breaking down the settings you need to understand to shoot in manual, and it will be explained in a way that's easy to understand! You can watch/re-watch as many times as you'd like, AND you get access to my Light Lessons Family Facebook group to ask any follow up questions, share photos, etc! #bmariephoto #lightlessonsworkshop #learnphotography

When choosing wardrobe options for your brand photos, remember these three tips: ⁠⠀ 1. Choose clothing that is either neutral or within your brand colors. Having your wardrobe in your brand colors means that your images will be able to seamlessly fit into your website, printed or digital brand documents, and your social media feeds. Neutrals are able to fit in anywhere!⁠⠀ 2. Solid colors with subtle details allow the focus of the image to be your face. ⁠⠀ 3. Bring a variety of styles/looks, including clothing you'd wear in different seasons. Even if you are taking your photos in the summer, throwing on a scarf or jacket for a few images allows you to stretch your session through multiple seasons. ⁠⠀ Bonus tip: If you love light, bright, airy images, wear clothing in light tones - white, cream, blush, light gray, etc. This paired with a light background will give you that beautiful, fresh, light look you want! ⁠⠀ #bmariephoto #bmariephotobrand

I'm 100% a dog person, but even though I love her like crazy, I'm NOT a fan of big, wet dog kisses... Dixie is TOO good at sneaking them in there, though! (And I'm pretty sure @holmesmm1 enjoyed this moment a little too much when he was taking some updated photos for me! 🤣) Here's to starting your week with lots of laughter & even more love, my friend!! #bmariephoto #holmesfamilycircus #bmariephotobrand #dogmom
