We’re still getting technical! Today we’re going to discuss how to put together the things we’ve covered recently (ISO, Shutter speed, and Aperture) to create the Exposure Triangle. Shooting using all 3 of those settings means that you are shooting in manual mode! Woohoo! When you are making adjustments to each of these settings, you’ll...
Are you an obsessed dog or cat mom like I am? I can go months without buying myself something. But show me a cute dog bandanna and it is in the cart! So I thought I would show you some of the things that I have purchased lately for my babies. Check out this 7...
As a photographer, I get asked a lot what I would suggest for clients. Whether it be for themselves, their kids, etc. So I thought I would put them all together so you guys can read at your leisure. Now these will change over time, as new and fun things come out all the time....
Have you ever done a photo session with your child or grandchild and they brought their favorite toy into the session? It is probably the bright yellow/pink elephant that doesn’t match anything. Or the horrible multicolored thing you hate. We have all been there. It is their favorite, but it looks awful in the photos....
Well, isn’t this a flashback! I started photography in junior high. I actually won a competition in school with a little point and shoot film camera. My dad was really into photography so he taught me a lot about composition and gave me the eye. Then things just progressed from there. High school I was...
We’re getting technical again! Today we’ll discuss aperture, how it affects your photos, and what settings you might use. Aperture (or f-stop) is the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light reaching the film or digital sensor. The lower the f-stop, the larger the opening in...
If you are looking for a photographer that isn’t stuffy. That let’s your family be goofy and crazy? And you can bring your fur baby? (I have an assistant to help.) Well you have found your girl! I’m Kara and I have been around the Woodlands for over 20 years. So I can find THE...
We’re getting technical again! Today we’ll discuss shutter speed, how it affects your photos, and what settings you might use. Shutter Speed (also called exposure time) is the amount of time the shutter remains open when you press the shutter button. Shutter speed is measured in seconds. So for example, 1/500 means the shutter is...
Oh you want the nitty gritty? Ok, let’s see. There is a bunch so maybe I can do some FAQs for you. Is there a session fee? Yes, most photographers charge a creative or session fee that covers their time. What does my session fee include? My session fee is $150 for families of 5...
Let’s get a little technical! Today we’ll discuss ISO, how it affects your photos, and what settings you might use. ISO is how much light sensitivity a photographic film or digital sensor has. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive the sensor is to light and the more grain you could potentially have. Since we are...
