Torn...

As an aspiring photographer I feel like I need to find not only my 'style' of photography, but also the look and way I edit. I'm having a tough time figuring this out though because I love bright colors...but I also love vintage. Should I have two decision for my clients, so they can choose which look they prefer? Or should I choose one and stick to that? Or should I edit each session however I feel it should look and not worry about my 'style'? Lots of decision when figuring out what kind of photographer I want to be. Examples of bright and vintage below.

I totally know what you mean about the editing! I love both of these!!

I think you should keep both an option, and go with however you feel looks best for that specific picture. Are you booking for January yet?

i love both ways too. i also love to pop the color, but i also really like the vintage look.
i am wondering how some of mine would look vintage that you took?? hmmm.
like the one of just lily (full body shot) or one of the shots of my four kids in front of the buildings.
i am definitely curious.

I think you can do both. Maybe asking a client ahead of time which look they prefer and then edit that way. I think you have a style, but you are still just playing around a little. Don't tie yourself down to one style too much. I think that would loose the creative part of it. Based on your professional judgment and client request you can save editing time and make everyone happy. Simply Amazing, both of them.
