One mistake a lot of portrait photographers make constantly is to blow out the sky in their portraits. Raise your hand if that is ever you. My hand is up with you. I have plenty of portraits with the sky completely blown out.

A year ago, did you imagine that we would be in quarantine for 30 days??!  This is obviously something that none of us have ever imagined could happen. But it did. We could not plan for it. I don’t know about you, but as I watched the world start dealing with this virus, I just […]

One fun part of my job is helping clients coordinate their outfits for the shoot. A question I get asked constantly, is “what should I wear????” I put together a little list to give you a starting point. After that, I’d love to help! Every Senior who books a Solo Shoot with me, gets a […]
