Photography Lesson #1...

Are you a budding photographer looking for tips and tricks?  Well, here's one for you... 

Try your best to HOLD STILL while taking photos.  Seems like a no brainer right?  In fancy photography "terms" it's called camera shake.  Even your own breath or or heartbeat can make your camera move ever so slightly causing a blurry picture.   In my terms it's called, "This family was so fun they had me laughing through the whole session.  I was struggling to stop laughing long enough to capture the moment and hold my camera still!  Such a happy, fun-loving family!  Let me show you what I mean...

A lovely shot of the girls, wouldn't you say?

  But... uh oh.  Looks who's creeping in on the left 

(and watch how Mom's expression changes):

GOOSE!  Priceless I tell ya! 

I shall post more of this lovely session later.  Just HAD to share these. 

(And yes, I got permission to post these) :)

Waiting... (Naylor-Kennedy, Utah Wedding)

 
I decided an appropriate title for this post would be "Waiting"...  This beautiful couple has been waiting and waiting for this day to actually happen.  Believe it or not sometimes even true love has to wait.  I had been forewarned that I may get very short notice and was basically an "on call" photographer.  (I've heard of this for newborns, but a marriage?!)  :)  Well, the time finally came and I got a call literally 6 days before the wedding.  Of course I was honored to be a part of this special occasion.

  

This picture became one of my favorites of the whole day.  Here he is, "waiting" for the very last moments.  His beautiful bride arrived just after this picture was taken, and the rest is history...
