Up until about 8 months ago my business was sooo disorganized. And because of it’s disorganization I was working more. Yes. Spending more time working because I was so disorganized. Honestly I’m not an organized person, so naturally my business didn’t start that way. Being organized with a system and a schedule has allowed me […]

The second shooter has become this benefit that everyone enjoys when they book their wedding with me. Almost every inquiry asks do we really get a second shooter? Are they shooting or assisting? You really include a second shooter? We get two photographers?!!!!  And enthusiastically I reply with yes there will be 2 of us […]

UNITED 2013. Where to begin? Last week I headed off to Santa Barbara once again. To be a part of something much bigger than myself. Even bigger than I had imagined. You see I attended UNITED last year in Las Vegas. And although I gained a little from the classes I gained more from the […]

I woke up this morning pretty refreshed. Grabbed a cup of joe…. cup of coffee like I always do. With a husband named Joe saying I grabbed a cup of him is weird 😉 Hopped on the couch to enjoy the view from my living room window. As I sit I can feel myself getting […]

The last part of the exposure triangle, ISO. ISO – your cameras level of sensitivity to light. In film ISO was the indication of how sensitive the film was to light. Measured in numbers on the film, 100, 200, 400, 800, etc.  It’s the same principle in digital photography.  It measures the sensitivity of the image […]

Let’s tackle aperture!  Aperture is the probably the hardest of the exposure triangle to understand.  However once you get the hang of it it’s a breeze 😉 Aperture – the size of the opening in your lens allowing light in. Also determines depth of field in an image. Back in Step 1 you learned your camera […]

Alright lets break down the exposure triangle a bit and look at each piece separately. We’ll start with shutter speed as it’s generally the easiest to grasp. Here is the definition of Shutter Speed that I gave you in Step 2. Shutter Speed – is the amount of time that the shutter is open to allow […]

I meant to post this up on Friday however Friday was CRAZY. Meeting with a gorgeous bride, another following with a photographer and then rushing to pack and get out of town on a mini-vacay for a friends bday. So here we are! Alright I left you last week with some homework. Missed it? Check […]

Who here just got a new camera for Christmas? Or do you have an SLR but when you take photos they don’t look like the images you see photographers taking?  I bought an SLR after my daughter was born. Primarily for a faster shutter speed. My point & shoot would have this delay after you […]

UPDATE!! WINNER!! Giving away this ticket has been SO rewarding. I originally purchased it for my husband but some things have come up and he is unable to come with me. I just felt the need to give it away, hoping it could be such a blessing to someone else growing in the industry. Cattie […]
