Photographing a massive event with tons of guests? Here’s how I made sure to capture every moment at the NCL 100th Anniversary:
1. Position yourself strategically to cover multiple angles.
2. Focus on storytelling shots— think candid reactions and group interactions.
3. Keep your gear light and mobile for quick movement!
Big events can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can document every detail while staying organized! 📸🤍

Cake smash tip for photographers: Embrace the mess! 🎉🍰 The best shots often come when things get a little chaotic. Don’t be afraid to let the little one dig in, smear frosting, or even topple the cake. Capture the laughter, the sticky fingers, and those priceless reactions – that’s where the magic happens! #CakeSmashPhotography #MessyMemories #photographertips

Photographing senior boys? Here’s a tip: Keep it casual and let their personality shine! 💪🏼✨ Instead of stiff poses, encourage movement and natural gestures – whether it’s leaning against a wall, sitting on steps, or hands in pockets. Giving them something to do helps them feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera! #SeniorBoyPhotography #PhotographerTips #authenticposes
