Tips on taking baby photos

    Just like every mom I love to take photographs of my babies.

    I have a lot of people ask me for advice about how to take better photos of their children using their own cameras. Here are a few tips that I like to share –

    1. Turn off the flash and use a room in your home with a lot of natural light. Or even better go outside, but keep in mind that lighting is best in the early morning or late afternoon.

    2. Think about the backgrounds. Keep it simple with solid colors or natural settings.

    3. If you have an SLR, but not sure how to use it. Try selecting the portrait setting which is still automatic, but will choose the best shutter speed and aperture for this type of photography.

    4. Have fun. Your baby will react to laughing and silly faces with smiles and excitement in their eyes.

    Yorktown Freight Shed Waterfront Wedding

      Megan and Eric had one of those perfect evenings for their wedding. The kind where you could just sit outside for hours and just feel relaxed by the warm breeze. But there was no time to mellow for us! We raced from getting ready to the ceremony, chased the remnants of sun through Yorktown, then first dances, toasts, cake cutting, more dancing and then away they went! Phew! (In a good way) My favorite part of their wedding was their adorable shepherd mix doggie who was the ring bearer!





































      Contemporary Art Center with Beach Flair

        Jordan and Matt had originally wanted a beach wedding, but decided that having no control over the weather was too stressful. So they decided on the Contemporary Art Center – whose windows from floor to ceiling and trees make you feel like your outside. They must of had a sixth sense because the day of their wedding was rainy and humid. But in the late afternoon the sun came out and we were able to take some beach portraits after all. So Jordan and Matt had the best of both worlds the day of their wedding!
