Hi all!
I’ll be heading out to a weekend with the friend group in two weeks.
I’m looking to bring some components for NA mixed beverages, in particular fruity margarita-style options.
However, I’m struggling to find recommendations for NA tequila alternatives that I can actually get here in Europe. The most common recommendations (Free Spirits, Rituals,…) are simply not some around here.
Any tips?
Did any of you (or someone in your circle) decide to do a maternity or newborn shoot? Are you happy you did (or didn’t)? And if you did: how did you find a photographer you liked working with?
Context for those interested: I am in Germany, and it’s not something super common to do around here; none of my friends have ever done one. I don’t typically like photos of myself much. So it’s not something I had previously considered.
But I recently realized that all of my friends who did not do a shooting still have these incredible mementos because their SOs or families took candid shots at various points in time. In the meantime, my family lives pretty far away so I don’t see them for months at a time. My partner rarely takes any photos of me, and even if I specifically ask him to take some, they turn out horrifying. 😬
Example: I have about a million cute and sweet candid photos of him with our puppy and later adult dog, and there’s maybe a dozen of me, even though I was the primary care giver… he generally never takes, so he would always choose the least flattering angle possible, or photograph the “hilarious” facial expression instead of the cute one, etc.
I’ve also noticed that I LOVE photos of myself at a few family events over the last few years where professional photographers were present.
And now I’m dreading that I will have no photos to keep as memories of something that I will likely only experience once or twice in my life, or that we will have a ton of photos of the new dad with baby and none with me.
Not sure if I’m overreacting though, so… really hoping for your input 🙈
