Tip of the Week
When photographing newborns, keep a space heater close by. To photograph a bare naked butt, slowly take off the diaper and let the cold air hit the baby before removing it completely or you will often get a surprise! Have mom in the picture cuddling with her baby. Watch for lighting and expression before shooting but always be ready.
Baby Portraits are my specialty!
A breath, a cry and a life brand new,
in a single moment our dreams have come true.

A fabulous pitcher, batter and outfielder for William Tennent High. I’m very proud of you.
Tip of the week
Spring is a great time of year to photograph. Everything is new again! Try to see things from the height of the subject. For instance, shoot flowers from a low vantage point, not from standing position. Get in closer than you normally would and look for simplicity in your composition. Use a piece of white cardboard to reflect light into the shadow areas.
Take a piece of sky blue poster board and place it behind your flower to act as sky if there is a building or such behind the flowers you are photographing. Use a larger fstop (5.6) to throw the background out of focus and noone will ever know it wasn’t a true sky.
