welcome to two twigs photography
During your session you can relax and know that I'll pose you most of the time! Do you really think those “lifestyle” moments AREN'T posed? They totally are – but it's what happens after I get you into that position when the magic really starts to work. I move fast so that you and everyone else won't have time to think twice or feel super awkward. I play games, give prompts, and ask you to do some of the craziest things... but it's all for the best possible images, I promise!
I don't generally bring props to sessions – I may bring a chair, stool or bench out for one of your littles, but that's usually the extent of it! I don't bring blankets to sessions, I pose you right on the ground because that's what looks the best in photos and doesn't take away from the most important part... you.
I'm a natural light photographer, so majority of our sessions will take place an hour or so before sunset to ensure you get the best photos possible! It's always well worth it. If it's gloomy outside we just roll with it! I do have an indoor studio -- but this is typically reserved for newborns, sitter sessions, cake smashes and head shots.
Be prepared for a little adventure – I love finding unique locations that may sometimes require a little walk, climb, or drive to the middle of nowhere!
Central Illinois Wedding Photography at its best.
Getting married in central Illinois and looking for a wedding photographer? Look no further. Central IL based wedding and portrait photographer, Sierra Smithers, will document your day in one of the most stunning and beautiful ways possible; moment by moment as your love story unfolds. Sierra will work with you and your family to ensure you get those extraordinary images that tell the story of your love.
No bait and switch here. You are working directly with Sierra. Why is that so important? Well, unlike other vendors, your wedding photographer is the one person that will literately be with you the entire day. So, naturally, I think it's extremely important that the person you hire to document one of the most meaningful moments in your life, is actually the same person who’s work you are looking at and the very same person who you shared all those creative ideas with before your wedding.
Make no mistake. Talk to your friends who have been married and one thing is certain, most all wish they had spent more money on their wedding photographer. Why? Because when it’s all said and done, the only thing left to remember your day, will be your wedding photography.
