J. Adames Stranger Sessions

❗️So... I feel it may be time to talk about why I haven't done a Stranger Session yet. 😁🫣❣️
I get asked about it all the time, and I do have a lot of applicants. Life is different now and I have been thinking about it. My main thing is the matching. This all started with two singles who were strangers and wanted to do a fun photography CHALLENGE. Since then, I have added in what people are attracted to in another person. But I feel it's been too focused on finding someone a partner rather than having a fun photoshoot. There are only so many big-muscle men with tats/ beards and so many "Barbie dolls" walking around! 😂 I wanted to focus more on the inner self as well. Now, mind you, not everyone who signed up is only looking for looks. And I completely understand being afraid who might be the partner, but I have matched people who are still together, married etc. But I feel the fun of getting surprised by someone you may never think is the best part! So going forward I am going to keep in mind that this is a fun challenge with two people who are adventurous and want a fun memory! 📸 Hoping that clears up some questions. 😘😘

Let's talk about Stranger Sessions! 😆😉
I started doing this back in 2020..many setups and a lot of fun! I took a chance and wanted to try something new and it turned into an amazing ride. (Maybe a few bumps on the road 😉) Very grateful for the doors this shoot has opened up for me. I still get stopped by people I don't know saying how much they love the shoots! Funniest encounter was in the ladies room of a Target 😆 But I keep asking myself...is this something people still enjoy or is it something I still want to do? And the answer is always YES I LOVE DOING THIS! I still get applicants and have so many ideas, but it takes alot of work. So I have prayed about this for a while and I am going to revamp it for 2024. I will look into hiring a camera man, editor, makeup artist, contact businesses to collaborate with, etc. If and when I feel it's time to let this go, then I will do it with pride. The fact I can possibly bring people together, and continue to challenge my photography skills is still in my heart to do. So for all those who applied thank you ❤️
