That Perfect Picture

Dont' Forget...

This may come as a surprise but growing up I hated having my picture taken. Or maybe its not a suprise at all, after all everyone at some point hates how they look in pictures. There are so many pictures of me that make me cringe every time I see them. I can never quite place my finger on why I dislike them though. I'm sure you've had these moments as well. That's why I've put together a list of ways you can get that perfect picture!

1. Don't look directly at the camera, instead angle your face to the side.
2. Have the photo shot from slightly above, this is more flattering than a picture taken from below.
3. Don't stand directly under a light.
4. Use props. Try holding onto something, such as a flower or a decoration of some sort, that will help you relax.

These are just a few ways to take better pictures. But I've always felt that my favorite pictures are the ones that I don't pose for. I seem to be more comfortable getting my picture taken when I don't have to stand there and stare at the camera. The best tip I can give everyone is to just keep trying. It's hard to get comfortable with having your picture taken by someone, but if you keep trying it will get easier and you will be able to smile more naturally!

Precious Moments That Last a Lifetime

All the memories!

What kind of pictues do you treasure the most? I'm sure there are a lot. And there are probably many times that you have found yourself wishing that you had gotten a picture of a certain moment so that you could look back at it whenever you wanted. I know there have been many moments in my life where I've found myself wishing I had my camera with me.

While I can't help with every moment I can help with some. Right now is the perfect time to hire me for your wedding or event. "Why" you ask? Because until the end of March I am taking 40% off my normal fee! You won't want to miss out on this deal. Hope to hear from you soon!

What are you excited for?

Fun Family Events!

Can you believe it's March already? It feels like the year just started but we are already in the third month. And even though it's still a few months away I'm already making plans for the summer! Part of the reason I'm so excited is because I am really tired of all the snow and the below freezing temperatures, but who isn't at this point? The main reason though is all of the beautiful pictures I can take during those months. Everything from weddings to fourth of July events, I'm excited to photograph it all!

I have so many wonderful memories of summers when I was a kid. My only regret is that we didn't take more pictures. Unfortunately all of those great memories fade with time, escpecially without a memento to remind you of fun days. Now to the fun part of this blog! Leave a comment on this post and tell me about one of your favorite memories growing up. Everyone who leaves me a comment will be entered into a drawing for some fun prizes!
