As soon as my husband and I bought our first house, I knew there would be some life lesson I could take away from yard work. You see, our first house sat vacant on the market for over a year, and by the time we put in an offer, it was in short-sale. What that resulted in was a yard full of WEEDS – lots and lots and lots of weeds. The first spring we were there I remember spending over 8 hours one weekend just pulling weeds! What on earth does this have to do with your photography.. - Continue Reading

People who are new to photography often ask me about my gear – what camera I use, and which lenses I prefer. My answer to this question used to be fairly simple when I was doing strictly commercial work, but now that I am in school for photography, I have two sets of gear! I have my digital setup, and then I have my film setup (which is more for school). While I prefer film, I’ve come to rely on the ease-of-use digital provides for commercial work. So, for the sake of this post, I’ll talk about my digital gear... - Continue Reading

We talked last week about light and aperture, and how to use them to shoot more professional-looking images. I hope you took out your camera, dusted it off, and got in some good old fashioned practice. Now on to the last two tips! 3. Details, Details, Details I know from experience that when you first start out as a photographer, it seems like there are a million things to think about during a shoot… ISO, aperture, shutter speed, lenses, focus, etc. Sometimes you’re honestly just thrilled to get a photo where the subject is in focus and the scene is.. - Continue Reading
For those of you who are not familiar with me or my photography, I live in what would be considered a rural (read: extremely rural!) part of Middle Georgia, USA. When I am not in the studio, my photography consists mostly of rural landscapes and small towns. I recently spent several days in New York, so photographing in the city was definitely outside of my comfort zone, but altogether an amazing experience. So, I thought I would impart a few simple tips for anyone who might be planning a photography trip to a large, or simply unfamiliar, city any time.. - Continue Reading

You come home, feeling like your shoot went well. The subject cooperated, you didn’t run out of ideas for posing, and you took 400 images over the course of an hour. There have got to be a few good ones in there. But as soon as you plug in your card and start browsing in Lightroom, your stomach sinks. There’s just something off about your images. They don’t seem to look anything like what you envisioned in your head, and that old adage of “don’t quit your day job” is finally starting to hit home. We've all been there.. - Continue Reading
Are you still afraid to upgrade to Lightroom 4? I really do wish I could come to your house and walk you through installing it. But I can’t. So I do the next best thing I can do is write about it here in hopes that you won’t be afraid any longer. The truth is that software changes. It upgrades and following along is part of the process. It likely won’t be THAT much longer before we are talking about Lightroom 5 (no, I don’t have an inside track and am not announcing ANYTHING—I am just guessing because it.. - Continue Reading
