I am so excited you are here! I hope you find something to take with you in building your photography business, I believe in you.

Hello + Welcome!

In this Youtube video I wanted to do a fun Thrift Store Wedding Flay Lay Challenge! We are going to my local thrift store to create a flat layout of things we can find only today inside the thrift store. This means stationary, the background, any trinkets, all of the styling props, and all the jewelry. I wanted you to do this fun challenge to challenge myself in terms of composition as well as making things intentional in photos. As you see in the video I feel like the hardest part was actually the station area, usually I have a full wedding invitation suite for flat lays.

Flat lay styling and not having my wedding photography styling kit was also a major challenge, but I wanted to make the most of it and try and grow as an artist in different situations. So in this video I start I’m going into a thrift store and picking the invitation to eat first, then trying to pick a background and the theme, then picking the trinkets or the styling products, and then ending with shoes and jewelry.

At the end of this video I head back to my car to go home just styled invitation to eat and props that I found today, and you can head and you can head to my next video to see me actually style and photograph this flat lay!
