Our recent client Megan said "Agreeing to this shoot was wayyy out of my comfort zone, but Kismet Photography did not disappoint! I’ll treasure these memories with the two mares I’m so blessed to call mine. #SmartKindel #AhhMommaMia 

Later in comments on a Facebook post she confessed that she was so anxious she almost cancelled the day of the photoshoot. Especially since she is more comfortable in jeans and boots than in a flowing dress and heels. We thought she rocked it and apparently 550+ likes/loves and comments later maybe she is getting the message that we are not alone in that estimation.

We had a vision for this shoot that included pictures like this:

 
Collaborating together helps everyone climb out of the ruts of our comfort zones and produce artwork that we can be proud of for years to come. 

She visibly relaxed when we communicated that we mostly wanted to get images of her interacting with her two "babies". Her two horses are athletes and they have all trained together for endless hours in the heat and cold. The shared love between them was visible and translates through the camera. 

She isn't alone in getting anxious and awkward about being in front of the camera. We have found though that with directing and tips and explanations that our clients began to really enjoy themselves and anticipate rather than dread the final results as our time together progresses. Then you get accidents like this when the flash trigger malfunctions:

And then magic moments when a high strung and ahtletic cutting horse performs like an actress on a stage and you get captures like this. and you smile so hard your face hurts.

Our heart message to those of you who may read this and be thinking "Yeah but..." Step over any fear, push aside anxiety and breathlessly take the plunge. We will do our best to make sure that you will have a great time and the resulting Oohs and Awws make you so happy you got out of your comfort zone.
