behind the lens

So I've been sharing lots of outfit inspiration for my clients lately and I thought it would be fun to show off what I wear behind the lens.
Glamorous, right?

I know every single one of my clients is laughing while reading this, saying, yes, throw in a messy pony tail and that is exactly right!

I've done a lot of research on how to dress professionally at a shoot and most other photographers recommend a more polished look with jeans and blazers and such.
Sorry friends, I need to be more comfortable than that.
I spend most of my time on the ground rolling around barefoot so a good pair of leggings and easy to kick off flats are a must.
I also suggest layers because, number one, they hide your behind which should never show in leggings, and two, they're easy to take off when things get moving and you get hot.
I'm also a fan of scarves because they make you look more pulled together and they're always helpful for a number of reasons during the shoot.
I also always wear my glasses and not contacts because I can't afford to get some speck of dust in my eye or lose a contact during a session.
I always bring my tote full of tricks because it's sturdy and easier to access things from than a large bag.

oh, and a starbucks grande skinny vanilla latte with whip.
almost as necessary as my camera.
