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!

The J Family

Now this is one good looking family! Rachel has been one of my good friends for quite sometime. When we both lived in Lincoln while we were in school we actually spent one summer sharing a farmers market booth. She is fantastic, a wonderfully artsy individual who I envy for all of her great talents! Her family is just as wonderful! First, I'm always impressed when little boys do well in photo shoots. We had lots of great smiles, and very few bribes from mom to keep them in a good mood :) I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their family for a Christmas card. We had a wonderful day at the park, I wouldn't even call it work!

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!

Lens Investment

I regularly have clients that come to me asking what equipment they should invest in to take better photos. Many families now have an SLR camera (single lens reflex...one of those cameras where the lenses are screwed off/on and the mirror inside makes a click sound when you take a photo). One of the best investments you can make after buying an SLR, is a good prime lens. Now, you may not know this, but I shoot with Canon. Typically photographers are either Canon or Nikon...and the equipment is not interchangeable . If you are a Canon user, I suggest you invest in a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens . This lens runs around $120, and is fabulous. It is one the cheapest (if not THE cheapest) Canon lens you can buy. It is fabulous and you'll still find me using it on occasion. Here are a few examples of photos I've taken with that lens. It is also the first lens I would suggest that you purchase if you're looking to try to shoot in Manual Mode. It gives yo...
