Maternity Photography

What a great Maternity photo shoot with a wonderful young couple, braving the cool weather to get some outdoor memories. They are a fisherman’s family so the theme was water, lobster traps, boats, and fishing sheds.  It’s always nice when you can have locations that suit the theme and some place that is close to their hearts.

Every image we captured of this couple showed how much they are in love and the baby is so blessed to have them as parents.

Newborn Photography

We really enjoyed taking photos of this little guy. In preparation of his photo shoot we purchased a studio bean bag from Studio Baby and material from Fabricville. My cousin handmade the baby outfits.  Everything sort of arrived at the same time, Mom was so excited to try many of the outfits on her 1st newborn boy. He was so good and his parents were fabulous.

Christmas Moon

It’s Christmas time, and customers are looking for something special this festive season. After spending some time preparing for this photo session we came across a digital backdrop we thought would work. The composite would depict the excitement of the season, getting a glimpse of Santa Claus, and something that would fit a pose for three children.

It takes some preparation, setting up the right lighting, shooting at the right angle, getting a pose that gets the children to appear to be interacting with a key element in the photo, in this case Santa’s sleigh and reindeer, and post processing the composite. It was great to see this come to life in the final image.

Why should I post process my photos? …or… Why do I need to learn Photoshop. If the photo is not for journalistic purposes, clients are expecting to be wow’d nowadays and they expect more than just a photo that you can get at a low priced photo boutique. People talk about upping your photography to the next level, well what does next level mean, as if there is a reference to some previous state. It’s really how to stand out, the experience the client has during the photo shoot and delivering the unexpected.

Although you cannot enter these types of composite images into competition and in some cases there are limitations on pixel sizes when uploading to social networks as they are a collaboration of sorts between the photographer for the subject and the artist for the background, It’s still a means of putting that little extra into the final image delivered to your customer.
