BONUS: Stop Overthinking
My techniques may not work for you. I'm not trying to convince you to use it when I'm asked to teach asked always well, how do you do this? How do you get that moment? And I'm telling you how I do it and it works for me, it works for me because this is how I figured out how to use it, so that job using who he is doesn't have to think about it because I am a thinker. My problem was always overthinking the problem, and it became more of a problem, so it had to be perfect before everything I mean, oh my god, if that boot near was out by a quarter inch, I go over and fix it. But it's not about that it's, not about the perfect photo. What I realized was my god, that thing that unfolded boom, I got it. Oh man that's what it's about that's? What it's about that's what they want they want these moments to relive they want the moments also that I captured that they were never aware of, they weren't even around it, I'm bringing him part of the wedding that they weren't pretty too that is ultimat...
ely what I'm after that that's my job on a wedding day, right? That's what I want to bring him and for job using to be able to do that, he has to stop thinking he has to stop over thinking, you have to stop trying to be in control of it all. And that, for me, is one of the most difficult things. I try to control everything in my life. I'm an aires, dang it, we control, so but on a wedding, it's, the one time in the the place where I feel freedom, because I get to exercise the right side of my brain, the artist in me, not the left side, the statistician who was that freak with numbers, but the right side, who says, you know what, let it go, just be with them in those moments, find their essence documented, that's, what I want to do, that's, what I wanted.

I feel like this course with Joe Buissink is a basket of gems. Several times already I have been tearing up, because Joe is validating each one of us, as artists and professionals. Being ourselves, selling the experience, and knowing what we offer artistically IS enough. Of course we have to do the work, know our craft, and have good business sense...But what has been the most valueable to me is the sense of joy that happens when Joe says something that I have felt myself, him sharing so much with us makes reaching our goals real, because he has been there.... when he said he pitched in Dunkin Donuts and still made it an experience..I cried, I have done that myself. (And booked the client:) I remember wishing I had a studio at the time, but now I think..one day I will! To hear him say he tears up at clients weddings...I do that, and felt so silly, but now I feel proud! This is a morale boost...a shot of joy in my arm. Thank you Joe Buissink for offering up your help and advise and for being so willing to share yourself with us. You are inspiring so many...and Thank you CreativeLIVE!! To anyone who is not sure if they want to purchase this workshop...DO IT!!! It is a gem.

I always feel so grateful to have Creative Live in my life, which, in turn, has given me the opportunity to have this wonderful source of information, Joe is one of them, he made find myself as a person when it comes to dealing with yourself and with the client, he vibrates in every thing that he does, every step from beginning to the end, that is the essence, put your passion in everything you do, we love what we do, It was so touching when he said that he tears up with moments of their clients in their weddings, I do too and I thought it was wrong, show our sensitivity it only proves us that we are human, and we can break barriers created by wrong schemas letting us be who we really are and then we can be free to feel and create, and do what we like to do, thanks JOE, thank you also for all the technical information, is PRICELESS. Your course it was my Birthday present that I give to myself, and I have not regret, thank you.
