Fourth of July // Styled Shoot

I've never really liked the idea of a styled photoshoot before.. I'm not sure why. I think it's because it's too "model-y" for me. I really love photography but I don't really like the idea of putting on fancy clothes and posing in sexy ways. Ya feel me? I think that's why I've never really set out to do styled photoshoots. I really love capturing real moments and people just doing what they naturally do in the moment.

However, I did have a friend who wanted to practice her photography and we ended up doing a styled shoot. And... it was fun! I was really surprised because I like it! A few days later I was visiting my cousin and I was just itching to take some photos of her. We ended up doing this Fourth of July styled photoshoot and I had such a blast doing it. Really. It was sooo much fun.

I hope you enjoy these pictures!
P.S. Sparkers are  now officially my favorite prop to use in photoshoots.
