I've never really taken photos that weren't headshots that were intended for a website before. Clients have used photos of mine on their websites before, but I've never done any work strictly intended for that purpose. When I was first starting out and I was getting some of my first jobs, I remember I would have trouble sleeping the night before, usually wake up pretty early, and then sit around and wait anxiously for the time to come to take the photos. I still get excited before every job, but not nervous like that.
I showed up to the clinic about 15 minutes early to set up and everything went about as well as it could from my end. The photos ended up turning out better than I had thought they would, and I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I was having a slight issue with the lighting, but I moved my umbrella around once or twice and got it into a pretty good position for most of the shots. Some of the areas were a bit tricky, but I was able to work with it.
It's a pretty big confidence-booster when you go in to take photos you haven't really done before and they turn out pretty well. I'm a firm believer that if you can take photos of one thing well, then you can take photos in similar situations pretty well if not just as good, though. I used to be the photo editor of the Royal Purple when I attended the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and I had taken quite a few photos that were similar to the ones I took at Noble Choice Chiropractic, which I felt helped tremendously in this situation. A lot of people probably wouldn't have hired me because I didn't have enough "experience," so I'm pretty stoked that Dr. Jon and Steph Pinnow gave me the opportunity.
