Weddingphotography
As the primary photographer, I stay with the Bride and Groom for the entire day, from the getting-ready shots like makeup and suiting up, to the first look, to the reception. Formal portraits of the bridal party generally occur after the wedding ceremony and before the reception. Once I receive an itinerary for the wedding day, I try to choose locations for us to shoot with consideration of time and distance from the next way point.
I give 100% during your wedding day. During the portrait session, I try to give clear directions to get the shots we need quickly and efficiently. I also pay attention to the details of the more intimate moments during the day,I generally try to get along with the wedding party and guests, and show them that I’m not only professional, but friendly and fun, without being intrusive. This not only helps your guests to have a good time, but to also be more comfortable in front of the camera for great photos,We have the techniques and advanced camera equipment to frame lasting memories of your nuptials in stunning high resolution.

MATERNITY
Photographing pregnant mothers-to-be is one of my favorite things to do as a photographer.I just remember you a few Tips for Maternity Photography:
BE PREPARED
Always come prepared to your shoot. Have your hair and nails groomed. Pamper yourself before your shoot. Make sure to bring water and snacks, especially if you have any dietary needs during your pregnancy. Remember not to wear anything that applies too much pressure to the belly (ex. leggings) before your maternity photography session. Otherwise, you will have visible marks left on your skin during your photo shoot.
The whole purpose of taking maternity photos is to showcase your pregnancy. If you take the photos too soon, you won’t be able to tell you’re pregnant. However, don’t put it off too long either. Otherwise, you could end up having issues holding the different poses for long lengths of time, or you could go into labor before your photo shoot even takes place.
TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT
There are plenty of traditional maternity photos: for instance, the silhouette of you and your belly, or a heart of hands over your belly, or a holding a pair of baby booties over your belly. However, just because everyone else uses a specific pose doesn’t mean you have to. Nor does it mean you should stay away from a pose because it has been done many times before. Offer yourself plenty of options to choose from. Be creative. You can always suggest or use a more unusual shot later in the shoot. It’s all up to you. Be as abstract or as traditional as you want to be.
REMEMBER YOUR ANGLES
Not only do you want the photographer to use different camera angles, but you want to pose using different angles as well. For instance, if you pose standing with your left leg slightly forward, it will naturally pull your right hip slightly back. This in turn will create a more flattering angle for you to be photographed. Avoid unflattering posture, vary your poses, and vary your camera angles to create a wide variety of options for you to choose your prints from.
USE PROPS
Props are a fun way to customize your photo. You can announce your baby’s gender, incorporate items from the baby’s room, use blocks to announce the due date, or showcase something sentimental and special to your family. The possibilities are endless.
TREASURE YOUR TIME
You only get to experience this pregnancy once! Cherish your time and memories. The goal of these images is to capture that special time while you were creating your child.
FAMILY PORTRAIT
A family portrait should tell a story about your family. Think about your favorite activities, like soccer games or weekend hikes in the mountains—is there a way to work this into your portrait?If so, this may play into where you decide to take your photograph and what time of day works best. Lacey Meyers suggests choosing a place where everyone is comfortable, like on your own front porch or at the family lake house.
CHOOSING A LOCATION
It shouldn’t be crowded at the time you take your photo.
There should be a variety of scenery, so that you can take images with a few different backgrounds, like an open field with trees around it, or a beach with a horizon view over the water and tall sand dunes.
Look for shade in front of and behind your family for even, consistent light (unless shooting at sunset).
If you have ideas for the look or color of your holiday card, make sure your photo’s background colors mesh well with the card motif.
SCHEDULING A TIME
There’s a reason sunrise and sunset are called “The Golden Hour.” Schedule an outdoor photo shoot in the early morning or evening, and you’ll avoid harsh shadows, squinting eyes and sweaty photo subjects.”I schedule most shoots for two hours before sunset, but that’s not always ideal for families with newborns or children on eating or sleeping schedules. But shooting earlier can lead to squinting in bright light, so I’ll usually suggest a shaded place, like a park with trees, for midday shoots.”
“Visit the location during the exact time that you will be shooting there to make sure that it works for your family.”
WHAT TO WEAR?
Don’t overthink your family’s attire, but do choose a color scheme with your location in mind. “You don’t all have to wear the same color, but make sure it all works together.” White shirts with jeans or khaki pants are a classic choice, as are blues and neutral grays. Avoid patterns that stand out and shirts with writing on them. I think is better you picking one main color with two supporting colors and a neutral to tie it all together. If the family’s clothing collectively falls into that color scheme, nobody will look out of place.
Keep the kiddos warm! “I much prefer a late fall/early winter session with a child in a cute winter coat and a hat—with a smile on his face—than an upset, chilly child who is under dressed for the circumstances. Embrace the weather and dress accordingly.”
