My name is Ruby and I am a Maine based creative portrait photographer. As the child of a professional artist, my creativity is something that has been cultivated all my life. I knew from an early age that I was going to be an artist. It’s written plain and simple under “future occupation” in my 8th grade yearbook. I have a brain that is overflowing with ideas for creative concepts, that fit a variety of aesthetic from edgy to elegant. And I am ready to turn them into a reality, the only thing that’s missing, is you!
But milestones usually mean our lives get busy.
The next thing we know, we are stressed to the max, trying to coordinate six outfits, find a hairstyle we can pull off, while trying to get our child, or partner to pretend like they are having fun.
It’s about leaving your session, not with the mindset of “we are never doing that again” but with a “post photoshoot high”. Feeling refreshed, energized, glowing, and empowered, like the Goddess that you are!
With smartphones only an arms length away at any given time, and front facing cameras opening to show less than favorable angles of our faces, we have had to endure viewing so many photos of ourselves where we don’t love how we look. This constant bombardment of unbecoming images has convinced some of us that we are simply “not photogenic”.
Newsflash, even Beyoncé has bad angles, everyone does!
While I’m a firm believer that loving your “imperfections” is a great mindset to have, the truth is a lot of us are still working towards that. Self love is something that requires constant maintenance. Together, we will identify some of your fears and insecurities before the shoot, so we can focus on having an amazing day, living in the moment, and highlighting your favorite aspects of yourself at the session. In the end, you will have a gallery full of images that you love, along with a new found sense of confidence in front of the camera.
