Shauna Veasey | American Boho Sneak Peak/Blog

What can I say about Shauna? She is an amazing friend, photographer and a great mentor. She has taught me so much about photography and given me many opportunities to explore and perfect my craft. We always have such a blast when we work together. It's always full of laughs, learning and we are constantly teaching each other something new. It's so nice to have someone that can teach you something new and in return do the same for them. I was beyond thrilled when she let me photograph her (most photographers prefer to stay behind the camera. Myself included). Photographing fellow photographers can be extremely nerve racking but she made it so much fun. She allowed me to take control and put my vision into a photograph while at the same time putting her own ideas in as well. 

I have always loved non traditional photography. I prefer more emotion pulling photography. The depth of the human emotion is what I want to portray in a photo whether that be happy, serious, sad, deep in thought or so on. In this session I felt more free to express my ideas and thoughts. Shauna was such a great model. Was willing to do whatever I wanted her to do no matter how awkward she might have felt. She pushed through the heat and the bug bites just so that I could get the shot I had in mind. Many times we just came up with something and just rolled with it.

We were able to put together both of our ideas and come up with a great photo over and over. 
She allowed me to practice my angles and gave me awesome tips to better my photo. She was throwing ideas out left and right while also hearing what I had in mind for the direction of the shoot. 

I feel like I have truly discovered the type of photography I enjoy. Not just the Boho style (which I throughly love) but the care free , natural and full on emotion. I was able to photograph many different emotions and had a great time doing it. I have never been so satisfied with my photos as I have with this session. I felt like I was able to be me and do what I enjoy and not feel tense. I love photographing all types of styles but this was truly something that I will remember as a great teaching tool. Shauna has been more than supportive of my passion for photography and I couldn't ask for a better person to be in my life. Thank you Shauna for being such a good sport and allowing me to make my vision happen! It truly means a lot to me!
