4) Make each shot your own

Instagram is a great resource for finding locations to take pictures, but don’t feel compelled to copy bloggers and models. Use them for inspiration, but don’t stress on replicating the exact shot or circumstance, just go with the flow, enjoy the moment and do what comes naturally.
