This was a last minute shoot on the first weekend of December. If I didn't like this family so much, I would have said no ... but I love these kids, so there we were at the park, pulling off winter coats to try and get a quick Christmas card shot. It wasn't easy ... it was FREEZING!
How Take Better Pictures
A two-evening class designed to help you get the most out of your camera!
Dates: Thursday, Feb 3rd and Thursday, Feb 10th
Time: 8:00 pm – 10:00pm
Location: My Home - 295 Bellair Road
Refreshments will be served! Part party … party school!
Cost: $75 (payment is expected to hold a spot!)
Max of 15 students … so book soon!
Day 1:
Get familiar with your camera. Get off automatic and see your pictures improve. Learn what those little buttons and icons mean, and how they can help you take better pictures. Find out how to get sharp pictures. For the DSLR crowd: at the end of the class I will touch upon lenses and demystify the thousand of choices!
Day 2:
This class will focus on editing to make your pictures better! I will use Adobe Elements in the class. A laptop might be useful with a photo editing software installed … but not essential! I’ll even show you how to clean up skin (ie … remove those annoying scratches, bruises, pimples that ruin a perfectly good picture.
What you need for both classes: A digital camera. Either SLR (the kind with the lenses that come off!) or a point and shoot (they may be tiny ... but you will be surprise what they can do!). Bring your manual (all cameras are different and you might need to refer to it!) Make sure you charge your camera and you have room on your memory card. A laptop with a photo editing software would be helpful, but not necessary.
Hope to see you here! Tell a friend!

Thank goodness I work with great families ...
I have previously worked with this family at a local club. They are great and the kids are awesome. They were one of my last bookings of the season and I was crossing my fingers the weather would hold out. It DIDN'T! The wind was whipping off of the lake like a hurricane. I have never backed off of a spot before trying it ... I couldn't even fathom trying.
We found some secluded outside spots and then when we were fully frozen, headed inside and found an empty room with a fireplace. Worked out pretty well.
Thanks to Amy and Mike. You guys are cool!
I have shot the M. family three times now. I know these kids so well, it's so easy and fun. The oldest boy is my bud. We commuted to school together for a year and we bonded. He is the best. I love the younger kids too ... the daughter has such expressive eyes and the boy is such an imp ... totally my kind of kids! Thanks for sharing with me for an afternoon Kate!
Jill is a very close friend and her husband has the BEST printing business in Northern Jersey! I have known their son since he was 2 years old. He and my son Peter were in the same playgroup and they still see each other to this day ... not as often as we would like though!
Thanks Jill and Jon!
I met up with this family at their backyard and then we went over to an alley in town. I shot them last year and their daughter makes it so easy. She turns it right on for me and it gorgeous ... how easy is that!
Thanks Joe and Mere.
