Using A Second Shooter

I thought the Kingsley wedding would be a great way for me to show off how much I love photographing weddings with a second shooter. As you may know, my second shooter is almost always my husband. He is crazy talented and I always tell people he taught me everything I know about Photoshop! It is true! We met my sophomore year of college, where he was studying to be a graphic designer...so I started learning from him back in 2008! He has been stuck with me every since :)

What I love about photographing with him, is he has an eye for detail and composition. He sees things that I don't, and as a team we can work to take even more photos in a short period of time then we ever could alone! Take a look at these photos, in each pair one photo is from my camera, the other is from his and are taken within seconds of each other! How fun right?? Whenever possible I suggest for any event that my clients add on a second shooter to make the most of their photography experience!

Baby J

Baby J was welcomed into our studio this winter, and what a doll she is! We loved capturing her with specifically "no pink" per her daddy's request!

Zavier- 1 year

This weekend was the last of Zavier's photos for his first year! I've been photographing this little guy every couple months since he was in his mommy's tummy....and it has been so fun to watch him grow! The basketball themed photo shoot this weekend was the perfect way to celebrate turning one year old!

Tips for Better Cell Phone Photos

This is a post for all you moms out there that are looking for a few easy tricks to taking better photos of your little ones on your smartphone! As you may know, I don't have little humans running around our place, so I decided to use my favorite subjects...our too cats! Meet Lady Grey and Gallifrey! Here are a few useful tips to learn to take better cell phone photos of your little ones! Try different angles. Get down to their level, make them look all the way up at you. Try something new! You don't always need to just take a photo straight on! Face them towards a light. If possible use natural light. Phones aren't great with backlighting, that is sitting a subject we're behind them is your primary light source. Photographers can shoot directly into the sun, phone's not so much. Try placing them towards a window or opening the front door. (left photo with the light behind Lady Grey, right photo where she is looking at the window) ...
