<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These were just a few fun shots we took on our last day in Virginia. We woke early to catch the sunrise over Buckroe Beach. I used to run to this beach from my childhood home in Hampton. I love the sound of the waves rolling in and the smell of the beach. I love the birds and the shells and the way the sky meets the water. It was such a neat thing to be able to stay at this particular beach and have my children experience nature in a way that I did as a kid. It was cold but none of us minded. They danced at the water's edge and sang little ditties as a new day dawned before our eyes. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My brother and sister in law live on the east coast and we took a little time to work together during my visit last fall. They are a gorgeous couple who make my job super fun and super easy. Just look at them! My brother is currently in Afghanistan and looking through this shoot makes me a little weepy but certainly proud. He is a young man full of character, strength and wisdom. His wife is not only beautiful but her spirit is generous and loving. I am so proud to be related to them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This family is my one of my most favorite families! Kate and I are long time friends and I had the privilege of photographing their nuptials and now their blossoming family! They live in DC and this shoot was done last October when I visited the east coast for a couple of weeks. Baby C is much beloved by all who know her. Look at her gorgeous eyes and infectious smile. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I'm so behind on getting this blog up and running. I post sneak peeks for clients on facebook and realize the quality is poor via fb so I'm going to to do a much better job getting this blog updated where pictures look more like they really do! These are photos from my girls' session for the holidays. The little one, Elise, is wearing a dress my Mom made for me when I was 3. The dress is over 33 years old! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This set is from one of my more favorite sessions. Jess and Kyle drove 5 hours for this shoot and they totally rocked it out from start to finish with their polished style and lovely props. We were a little late getting started but we rushed through with the remaining light of the day and I think we made everything work just perfectly! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">First of all, hire EKP and know that your experience is in great hands! I love the dynamic elements that family shoots provide. I never know what to expect so I always come into a new session prepared for ANYTHING. I want to capture the uniqueness of your group. I will be on the lookout for anything that creates that special spark and I will do whatever I can to create it and to capture it.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">When you are planning your outfits, consider creating a coordinated feel for the family. Perhaps one person wears a fun/funky pattern and everyone else’s outfit riffs off that pattern. If one person wears plaid, pull those colors out in solids or stripes for other people’s outfits. Get personal and have a blast! Consider neat patterns, hats, scarves, funky shoes, and big jewelry. Your personalities will shine in your photos and everyone who sees them will know how unique your images are! Do your best to have everyone’s nails and shoes be clean. I don’t recommend spaghetti straps unless covered by a jacket. I don’t recommend horizontal stripes. I strongly encourage you to coordinate your outfits to maximize the aesthetic of your pictures. Whether you choose a color palette (jewel tones, fall colors, neutrals with a splash of color) or to have one pattern you riff off from, have a plan where everyone looks their absolute best and I can almost guarantee that everyone will FEEL their absolute best. If everyone FEELS great - this will translate big time into your pictures. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If working with small kids, I recommend giving them a couple of choices for their apparel (that you love) and then working around what they choose for the adults. This way, the kids will feel that they’ve contributed to the session and will come into the shoot feeling great about their choices. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">So you’re all dressed up as a group - why not make it an event? While a photo session with EKP is easy and fun, I like to recommend that my clients, already all snazzed up, do something fun in their cool outfits. Maybe it’s a show, maybe it’s a movie, maybe it’s brunch or dinner or ice cream out but whatever the event, consider that planning something after the session creates a little more excitement for your time together as a family. Plus, when working with young people, it gives you an incentive to have them be their best selves for their photos!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">More on working with young people: bring snacks, water, and comfort items. Feed and change little ones before the session. While I’m pretty good at working quickly with small kids, I want to be sure everyone gets everything they want and keeping kids comfortable during our session is critical to the success of the shoot. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I love to get full face smiles! Oftentimes these are made possible by setting up an occasion for candids. During the session, I will do several configurations, some posed, some more casual. I will ask questions in hopes of having the family share something unique to the group that creates priceless facial expressions and captures something new and beautiful to mark your family’s time together. Be prepared to share more of yourselves than you thought you might during a family photo session. I am in the business of capturing the unique love and energy of your family so I’ll be working to tune in to those trademark qualities. </span></span></div>

Bring small items that elicit joy for babies and toddlers. I will get down on the ground with them, show them their pretty faces on my camera and do everything I can to make them comfortable to smile for me but any happy antics that you can bring to the scene would be much appreciated!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This post features my brother and sister-in-law who came to visit in the spring of 2012. We headed out to a couple of fun locations boasting great light, neat architectural elements, and desert landscapes. This post is designed to give you some ideas and helpful hints on making the most of your couple's session.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TIP # 2. Get your STYLE on<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* coordinate your outfits to complement each other in style and color<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* wear your best and favorite colors<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* avoid large, busy patterns, avoid large logos - go with tried and true solid colors that you love<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* consider hiring a stylist through EKP or your fave salon for hair and makeup - if this is an engagement shoot, consider this a trial run with your wedding day stylist<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* consult your favorite styles in a fashion magazine or catalog for ideas on a color palette or wardrobe choices<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* consider the environment we'll be shooting in - if lush greens of a farm field will be the background, consider grays or a more neutral palette for a nice contrast<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>* if an urban downtown scene is our background, bold, luscious colors may be the way to go<br /></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Katie went shopping for the perfect dress & shoes and found this gorgeous number at Express. Shoes are from DSW.

Where we expected June to be the start of slow slow slow season, it's been our most productive month yet. We are at 84 shoots now, with 7 more on the books, since we opened for business last fall.</span></span><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">In May I photographed a high school senior and her family and the sessions were amazing...such beautiful people and some of my best work. Unfortunately, they requested that their images not be shared. Much to my great disappointment, the world won't get to share in the delight of seeing their awesomeness. What I learned from their sessions were the following tidbits:</span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">~No matter how much money people have or don't have, people are always still just people, with cool kinks and quirks, no matter their financial status.</span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">~When it comes to doing something they don't normally do, people want guidance. As a photographer, I need to be prepared to create not only an experience during sessions but a journey. This requires both forethought and spontaneity.</span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I can blog about some other sessions...I'll start with Jaime. Jaime volunteered to be a model and together we broke free of some of what had been holding us both back. I hadn't explored Roosevelt Row with my camera and she hadn't explored how awesome she would be as a model and we both made amazing strides!

We are in our 8th month and have completed 67 shoots. This post is dedicated to what I've gotten out of doing commercial shoots thus far.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">I did a commercial shoot for GE at the end of April and it was a great experience. It was my third commercial shoot since EKP has been operating. The first was for an airplane company in Florida and I shot one of the Cubs' pitchers during spring training for them. The second was for an alumni magazine at the University of Texas, San Antonio and I photographed a leader in our community. Commercial shoots are unique experiences that, for me, have brought new opportunities to expand my skill set and comfort zone with photography and people.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Here are some of my take aways:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">1. Stay committed to your vision. My goal is to "capture the love and energy of the good life" and while circumstances beyond my control (time to shoot, time of shoot, quality of environment, celebrity status, purpose of shoot) dictated these shoots, I eventually realized that my vision must always be the priority. I wasn't able to fully grasp this until the third shoot. I was star struck with the baseball player and mired in the hiring group's details with the community leader but finally found my groove with the GE employee. I spent 10 of the 20 minutes I had with her doing what GE wanted and then 10 doing what I liked. It wasn't long enough to achieve total perfection but I walked away feeling as if I had created some images that made her feel beautiful AND I accomplished what I was hired to accomplish.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">2. Read the contract - not just the summary - but the whole darn thing. I read the summary of an 11 page contract and it matched my proposal so I signed it. Later, I learned that I signed off on some very basic things that you sinply don't sign off on...sigh - live & learn - and read every word.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">3. Be quick on your feet and be flexible. For each of the shoots, I was fortunate to have access to open shade even though 2 of the shoots were at high noon, per the subjects' schedules. I arrived early to each shoot (on each subjects' home turf) to scope out available light, available shade, mood of the space and prospective backdrops. The extra scouting gave me a little more room to be flexible and fast with whatever circumstances presented themselves.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">4. Gather & Disperse: Aside from the fact that commercial shoots can be more lucrative than highly personalized portrait sessions, another bonus is that commercial jobs have inspired a new level of spontaneity that I've been able to apply to all types shoots. This level of spontaneity is truly a gift!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">5. Clarity matters. For each shoot, the subject was not interested in being photographed. I had to elicit something from them to get something in the images. In each shoot, I spoke with each subject maybe 3 minutes prior to clicking the shutter so I had to develop rapport AS I shot which is not always easy. Being clear in my direction and secure with my vision allowed images to emerge that met the demand of the project as well as my own aesthetic demand.</span></span></div></div></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946293447459465266noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913107882155039495.post-22554091416884731142011-04-21T07:22:00.000-07:002011-04-21T07:26:04.066-07:00Arizona Event Photographer - A Film Premiere<div><div style="font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I was privileged to photograph the film premiere event of _Afghanistan: Between Light and Darkness_ directed by Dr. Penelope Price. Held at Filmbar Arizona in downtown Phoenix, the middle eastern decorated venue was intimate and artful. As far as photography is concerned a theatre is, of course, a challenging place to shoot with its lack of light. The images turned out rich and dreamy with the glow from ornately colored ceiling lanterns. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The film was incredibly beautiful capturing a side of Afghanistan I've rarely seen depicted. From the wide and peaceful snow covered mountainside imagery to smaller scaled details of every day life, the film offered a glimpse into the culture and country that seemed fresh and pristine on one hand and also heavily encumbered on the other. I was struck by the child throwing a rock at a donkey and the sense of danger that emerged in stories about the pursuit of education in a Taliban run society. I was captivated by the careful stitching of imagery, sound and storytelling. It was a well paced 22 minutes offering a wealth of information in both image and narration. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">From the Q&A, I learned a little more about the sense of hospitality demonstrated toward the filmmakers by the Afghans. I was left inspired to share more of what I have with those around me and I was inspired to learn more about what motivates people like Mary MacMakin and Marnie Gustavson to make a difference in our world through organizations such as http://www.afghanistan-parsa.org/. The stories of Yasin and Palwasha were somewhat inaccessible for me, not sharing the same social and cultural history, but their visible courage and perseverance were universally recognizable. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial;

We opted to have dessert outside and the kids played for a little while before we served them. As it was close to sunset, the light was "sweet" and I grabbed a few moments with the camera. I really enjoyed how the essence of the kids playing was so niftily captured in these images.

My favorite way it showed up was when I asked them to talk about their day so I could take some candids. After one person shared about a routine dental visit from that day, a plethora of memories showed up in the conversation. The three sisters reminisced about having to be all dressed up in their mother's best homemade clothes for a trip to see the dentist. The 2 grandkids listened intently and with amusement. There was laughter and warmth shared and it made for some interesting captures. To level the playing field of enthusiasm, I also asked them to play a game so I could try for a few more candids. They got quite into the game and seeing them enjoy themselves made not only the shooting part fun for me but made for some great images as well. By the time we were to take posed portraits, I think everyone was on board with the plan for the day! What worked for this group - 6 people - 3 generations - their home turf - was the following:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">1. Having a plan. I cant say enough about having a plan for a shoot. Of course, there's always improvisation that goes into photo sessions but having an outline of what to do sets a tone and pace that I think makes or breaks a great session. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; ">I started out with the kids outdoors then moved to their parents and then got the matriarch involved. I knew various generational configurations were anticipated so we knocked out many of these in the lovely late afternoon light.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">2. Giving them a topic for conversation (share what you did today) and letting the energy flow from there for about 15 minutes allowed them to loosen up for each other and for me</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">3. Requesting that they play a game (they chose cards) and capitalizing on the momentum generated from a little competitive fun gave me access to who they really are for each other. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR5WbWogY8wcIuKddUq1yCpb4K6eGJk3gXsXAPmjc6mgnS1Y7i8R3V0-teJuVHDtxtfr-kThWWEpL-hzrvHRcURh__0PEOWxDV1A7usdw8HkiJ9UC6VmbJh7F0qN8dia6VASdA2TpB3Wsp/s1600/215205_207791155917121_152845758078328_724915_441325_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

We headed to Downtown Mesa and a nearby overpass to get these shots. Her expertise in front of the camera made my job so much easier. But here's the thing, not being a natural in front of the camera doesn't mean you can't or won't look glamorous. I will always do my best during a session (and in post production) to bring your fullest you to the image. I understand that it's hard sometimes to have a camera documenting your every move so I will do what I can to make the process one of ease and enjoyment. We do offer custom touch up services but if you enjoy yourself during a shoot, it's almost a sure thing, the images will be a hit!</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9hSZubwe7uNslsqVVJ0oKxev6V4_d5McKuiz2tbbtp7eWcqq9UZscciVvvQ6miQp9FHp1Jlan8q4mh0BRJ2erMK4K5kLv5cRxMVO_On_zcv8GXwJh-1o1X3-pU3_TsSHUA7dAt0_9JUL/s1600/199300_206005132762390_152845758078328_711717_2693602_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp9hSZubwe7uNslsqVVJ0oKxev6V4_d5McKuiz2tbbtp7eWcqq9UZscciVvvQ6miQp9FHp1Jlan8q4mh0BRJ2erMK4K5kLv5cRxMVO_On_zcv8GXwJh-1o1X3-pU3_TsSHUA7dAt0_9JUL/s400/199300_206005132762390_152845758078328_711717_2693602_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157066319155234" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTFOEfIIgmovb199-OFVBEuwTFEXuxWGu_kVqgpNYcekppyXEQ-OEqCd8lP1sK5gVU0hzfYNwhduTo8rm1oPQuILSIglN1fYsOl0SibfBo1e9O4KLU8AMHFgihaJvzMtrk_1BA6UGg6r8/s1600/198141_206005159429054_152845758078328_711718_6646460_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTFOEfIIgmovb199-OFVBEuwTFEXuxWGu_kVqgpNYcekppyXEQ-OEqCd8lP1sK5gVU0hzfYNwhduTo8rm1oPQuILSIglN1fYsOl0SibfBo1e9O4KLU8AMHFgihaJvzMtrk_1BA6UGg6r8/s400/198141_206005159429054_152845758078328_711718_6646460_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157068784931746" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><br /></u></span></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_kIh-5m8Nw4STTsOkWbGvYgEpLz6xY96_oZjs0IGdALqGtMemi-au3n9eMdjvm7J-Ezf3OVheOGyRl_fHteOq6xjn9QUAwD9JpatZv0r24ap5ERCja64g-kEF4JBF6SlRvL5aJ9YBisc/s1600/200740_206005179429052_152845758078328_711720_1453070_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_kIh-5m8Nw4STTsOkWbGvYgEpLz6xY96_oZjs0IGdALqGtMemi-au3n9eMdjvm7J-Ezf3OVheOGyRl_fHteOq6xjn9QUAwD9JpatZv0r24ap5ERCja64g-kEF4JBF6SlRvL5aJ9YBisc/s400/200740_206005179429052_152845758078328_711720_1453070_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157065687971122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHR-JTidkuhlgY9n8BMMBvQsJNAN5qNVvw09jhFmRDZPfJEHVRwb0Z_OF2Z7aRsz5jxNYmn01jcbRG0cwH9chNBIFHyeHxWrGlI2FPkiiBr_VGNJI4qfkilrDO5mHvS2VdmUHx_4cO77v9/s1600/208128_206005166095720_152845758078328_711719_2111552_n.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHR-JTidkuhlgY9n8BMMBvQsJNAN5qNVvw09jhFmRDZPfJEHVRwb0Z_OF2Z7aRsz5jxNYmn01jcbRG0cwH9chNBIFHyeHxWrGlI2FPkiiBr_VGNJI4qfkilrDO5mHvS2VdmUHx_4cO77v9/s400/208128_206005166095720_152845758078328_711719_2111552_n.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594157060209814626" /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: 14px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:x-small;">Mesa portrait photographer - Mesa lifestyle photographer - Gilbert portrait photographer - Gilbert lifestyle photographer - Phoenix portrait photographer - Phoenix lifestyle photographer - Arizona portrait photographer - Arizona lifestyle photographer</span></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12946293447459465266noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2913107882155039495.post-69713122870984039752011-04-03T13:23:00.000-07:002011-04-14T18:49:56.571-07:00Arizona Family Photographer - H, J, M & Some Tips<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">H, J & M were a fantastic family to photograph! Not only did they arrive beautifully clothed (not matchy matchy but in a perfectly compatible color set of creams, beiges, and browns), they were happy to play together! It is such a joy to be able to spend time with happy people. I realize we can't all always be happy but when it's time for family photos, taking the strides necessary to keep each other in good spirits, will clearly show up in the images captured. I'll do my best to make you look as great as I can but whatever good mojo you can bring to your shoot will make a world of difference. Some tips on keeping spirits up:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">1. Make a day out of the photo shoot. You're looking good - why not plan to go out somewhere after your shoot - maybe for a meal or to a show?</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">2.
