wygant: creative session (partial)

Attitude.

It's a fairly big word with even bigger meaning. What one person perceives as a tragedy, can be seen by others as opportunity. It's in this vein of thought that Josh and Lauren's creative session stands out.

Lauren loved the imagery of couples out in fields that she had seen of our work earlier, and asked if we could do some shots in a field. The weather was clear and brisk on the day of their shoot. Silly me, I was thinking she'd want to stay warm and had some great indoor ideas; trying to keep the couple comfortable. We decided that for us to create the mood we wanted, and have access to that "perfect light", we would need to start shooting a little before sunset. I loved her idea and initiative; we found a field, freezing and all, and captured some of our best pictures there.

Sometimes brides picture the perfect day, with just the right weather and just the right things falling into place at just the right time. The truth is, that rarely happens. And for those who can keep from stressing about that, and shift their thinking, a world of unseen and beautiful possibilities unfolds! Because with the right attitude and a little fun, you can make a seemingly "less than perfect" situation into something more amazing than you ever thought possible!
