For those worried about AI taking over their photography jobs please stop worrying. My previous blog explains why we don’t need to worry. In this blog I’ll show you the benefits of using AI to make your editing faster. I did a short review of Adobe Photoshop’s Beta AI and it’s quite impressive.

Answer It Before They Ask
Potential clients who don’t know you aren’t just going to book you. The have they’re own sets of needs they are worried about. It is a good idea to have frequently asked questions posted somewhere on your website to ease potential clients’ worries. When you ease a client’s worries, you raise their client experience.

Sorry to say the summer is nearly over. On the plus side, that means it’s almost autumn. Let make memories with an autumn photo session.

Yes i know a lot of you reading this already had an amazing session with me. This blog is for that new client you’ve sent my way. I love word of mouth referrals btw. Photoshoots can be extremely daunting. What do you wear? Should you shoot indoor vs outdoor? Do you even know what you don’t know? This is where a good photographer (like me) comes in.
First off… RELAX. Even if our session is a total disaster in your eyes, I usually get a few salvageable images. There was pregnancy announcement session where the big brother wouldn’t stop crying. I had him hold a sign and made it seem he was upset about possibly getting a sister. Even if it is a total disaster, there’s always a reshoot.
What do I wear? Dress up! Look your best. If it’s a group, wear matching colors. For example the whole family wears a white top and blue jeans. Make sure it’s neat. My goal is you love the images so much you buy a huge print and hang it in your living room to enjoy forever.
Bottom line is if you arrive knowing what to expect and how to prepare for a photo session, you will be comfortable not to worry out the things you can’t control. Be in the moment. Have fun. It’ll show in your images
My two most frequently ask sessions are maternity and headshots. I hope these links calm your worries.
I had the honor of shooting a childhood friend's wedding this weekend. CONGRATS JAY AND MARYAM!! For those who are close to Jay and Maryam, enjoy the teasers. For those looking for a few outdoor photography tips, continue reading after the images
Photography talk now. I might lose some of you here.
Ok, so as you can see it was a quaint, beautiful wedding. You might also notice it is super sunny and the sun was at a very high point causing a shadow in everyone's eyes. A quick fix would be to raise the shadow level in Lightroom. There is more artistic freedom in the couple shots.
Do as much as you can do inside the camera. If there is less to edit then workflow is a breeze. Come prepared. I travel with my strobe lights and a lithium battery so that means instant strobes anywhere. Another must have is a ND Filter. This helps keep the shallow depth of field (bokeh) on sunny days. Yes, some math is involved. Without a high speed sync, I must keep my shutter speed under 200. Thats what the ND Filter helps with. From there it's photographer's choice on what your filler light and what your main light source will be, sun or strobe.
Images were shot with a Canon 5D Mark III Lens: 85mm L Series ISO 100 Shutter Speed 200 Fstops 3.5-5.6
