    Hey Jessica. Quick question. Is it the couples or the photographer's responsibility to provide the props/flowers for shootz like this?

    It's kinda funny when the model moves on every click of the camera. She's like a robot.

    Awesome video but pleeeease WASH YOUR HANDS after touching digitalis (the purple plants). They are highly toxic

  15. Stacey Lowe says

    What focus settings do you use? I feel like I'm cursed to have my images always ALMOST in focus.

  16. PhGiulia97 says

    Jessica, so you mind sharing the manual settings of your camera when you are doing behind the scenes, that'll be soo helpful for beginner photographers. Thank you in advance. 🙂
