IMPROVISE!!! That was the theme for my shoot with Julie. We had the perfect location chosen for her senior pictures, but when it came time for the shoot, we were unable to get there due to construction! So what did we do? We improvised! There was a church along the route to our chosen spot. We met there, and began exploring. Seriously so much more fun than the other location would have been. We found all kinds of hidden nuggets around the parking lot, and down the street. Not sure about the rest of you, but I’m convinced that if we want to juice up our creativity we should look for opportunities to improvise and not shy away from it!  In fact, since that shoot with Julie, I’ve challenged myself at every shoot to take away something I have relied on in the past. And I’ve been extremely surprised at how it has spurned new ideas and more creative images. On your next shoot, even if everything is going as planned, I challenge the lot of you to improvise and eliminate part of the norm…OK, so enough of my little moment, here are some images from the star of the shoot, Julie!
