How to Hire & Work With Blog Photographers

D.C. blogger Alicia Tenise shares tips and tricks on how to collaborate with blog photographers - How to Hire & Work With Blog Photographers by popular Washington DC blogger Alicia Tenise

Ah, blog photographers. When I first started this blog, my boyfriend at the time was taking my photos. However, even though I had a DSLR, neither me or my boyfriend knew what on earth we were doing. After we broke up, I connected with a student photographer at my college, and my content improved ten-fold. 

Even though I have a DSLR of my own and occasionally get my friends and family to help me shoot content, it really is a lot easier for me to team up with blog photographers to produce high-quality content for the blog. I’ve had a few learning curves over the years with blog photographers, and I wanted to share some tips and tricks so that you can make the most out of your blog photography sessions!

30×30: Day 9

This is my first pair of white jeans, ever. I know, I’m pretty behind the times. I only buy 2 or 3 pairs of pants a year, so this was a nice addition to my closet. I’m not sure why, but I always have to force myself to go pants shopping. I always tend to gravitate to skirts and dresses in a store before trousers and shorts. It’s hard being such a girly-girl.
Anyways, this is Day 9 of my 30 for 30 Challenge. I’m starting to become a little more creative with putting together ensembles every day!
