Romance Tip 13:
- See a Professional
Photographer.
Single? Now is
the perfect time to commemorate how fantastic you are. Not when you lose five
pounds. Not when you have a boyfriend or get that fantastic promotion, right
now. Either find a photography studio that does hair and makeup or splash out
and go to a salon. Get your hair and make up done, fish out that amazing dress
you only wear on special occasions and get your photo taken, exactly as you are
now.
Avoid wearing jewellery or clothes that will look dated in a
few years and make sure you ask the stylist for a neutral, natural look.
Not only will you come away with gorgeous photos you can
look back on in thirty years, but you’ll have a new, fresh image of yourself
for online dating profiles, facebook and your blog. Send a copy to your parents
for Christmas and don’t be ashamed to frame it and put it up somewhere in your
house. You’re gorgeous Who wouldn’t want a picture of you around?
Dating? If you’re
still early in your relationship, it may seem a little formal to get
professional photos done. However if you last the distance, you’ll be glad you
have such a nice memento of your early years. If you’ve been together a while,
it’s the perfect opportunity to get some nice pictures done and celebrate the
time you’ve spent together.
Photos are some of the most special keepsakes you can have.
In emergency situations, they’re usually the first material things people try
and save. Not only that, they will last well beyond your lifetime. A few years
ago my grandmother died and many of her old photos and slides ended up going to
me. There are a collection of professional photos taken at her wedding and they
are utterly gorgeous. She looks like she could be my sister.
The photos you take now might not just be enjoyed by you and
your children, but your grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Remember! Finding
the right photographer is paramount. Visit their websites and look at their
online galleries before committing to anyone. You want to find someone who
matches your own personal style, be it quirky and alternative, or traditional
and classical.
Be sure exactly what you are getting for your money. Don’t
be afraid to ask questions and ask for alternatives if they don’t offer a package
that suits your needs.
