Claudia stopped by for a last minute headshot session–her mother Susan told me that she needed a shot for a pageant entry and I was able to capture her wonderful smile with a quick studio setup–doesn’t she look great? Good luck in the pageant!

- Besty | Newborn Photographer | Hoover, AL September 5, 2014Baby Betsy slept soundly and looked oh so cute during her photo shoot at her grandmother’s house! After spending a pleasant late morning in the sunny guest bedroom, things got a little wilder as her brothers and cousins posed for a group shot. Congratulations David and Susanna!

October 28, 2013Shooting events at night can be pretty challenging, and frequently I see students shy away from using flash to properly illuminate their subjects. Sometimes, the effect can be fun, such as when you get a graphically interesting silhouette. More frequently, shooting with high ISOs, slow shutter speeds and no flash can result in pretty […]

- On Location Portraits–Candid and Posed August 15, 2013One thing to think about when shooting portraits of couples or individuals is the approach you are going to take; are you going to pose your sitters or are you going to capture them candidly? One of the great things about having a background as a photojournalist is that I’m comfortable with doing both and […]
