David says he googled grad school photo poses for inspiration.

Right? Like, there's a, a sense of style to it.

Maybe it's a girl graduating.

She's got her hands on her hips, and then she's got her arm up in the air.

Maybe it's, like, throwing the, like, cap or something like that.

If anything, it was a, a big roadblock for me.

I didn't wanna think about poses.

How do you want to see yourself? How do you want to feel in these photos? How do you define feeling like yourself? Then they look into clothing options.

Will you, like, tell that story and yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So quarantine, I couldn't take any more clients, right? So I, I tried to stay optimistic.

A lot of the peers around me were being really sad.

I was like, "You know what? Let me see what I can do," right? Let me take the abundance of time as a blessing.

So TikTok was a big thing then, and I was like, "What if I just, what if I just share the joys of what I do?" And, um, I wanted to tell, like, the transformation that goes on in my small Sacramento studio of my clients coming in really shy, uh, disconnected from their bodies and, and then transforming into this, like, beautiful, like, human being in front of the camera.

But I only had myself.

Yeah
