Wedding Photography Tips
Photographing a wedding can be one of the most stressful and lucrative jobs you will do. There is a lot of prep work involved such as checking out the venue and lighting. You also want an itinerary of the day so you will be sure not to miss any of the day’s activities. You will need to sit down with the bride and groom find out what they are expecting…do they prefer more formal shots or more casual candid pictures?

Newborn and Baby Photography Tips
This is my favorite. You can use your imagination with props and clothing, the sky is the limit or just a simple face shot can be beautiful! You have to have a lot of energy for this, children move fast and constantly! You never know what their mood will be and if they are cranky or crying you might just have to wait them out.

Outdoor Photography Tips
You are provided with a natural backdrop for your portraits. What could be easier than that? Some things you have to consider is weather, location, time of day and equipment. This is an easy way for beginners to get started. Early morning and sunset provide the perfect lighting!

Black and White Photography Tips
To me black and white photography can be the most interesting and beautiful. You focus on contrast and texture. Digital photography gives you the option of shooting in color and converting to black and white.

Maternity Photography Tips
This is a very special time in a woman’s life that they want to record. You will need to decide on location, clothing, and who will be included in the pictures. I like to keep the photographs simple, not doing the typical “cheesy” poses.

Boudoir Photography Tips
This is a new trend, becoming very popular. Women are doing this for their boyfriends or husbands as gifts or even just for themselves as something fun and glamorous to do. You want the photographs to be tasteful and artistic. Lighting and equipment will be an important factor.
