Say "Hello!" to Lucy! What a sweet little lady, she is.  It was fun to have a little one be so alert AND happy!  That's the tricky part, asleep and happy, more often go together. But she was perfectly content and a pleasure to photograph! Enjoy her photos!

Say, "Happy Birthday!" to Miss Brielle!  She is officially two years old!

Pretty exciting stuff.

This was my 3rd shoot with Brielle, I first meet her when she came to big sister, Lorelai's birthday shoot. I think she was about six months at the time. 

 Six months later, we met up to take her 1 year photos! 

Now look at her! She's so grown up!!

Well... not too grown up for a blankie.

 What a sweet time, she was so happy and curious about the things going on around her. 

I loved when we picked up to move to another spot, she piped up and said with very purposeful steps, "Follow me!"

 What a cutie!

Camera Tips: Shooting in Auto/under or over exposed

If you find that your image is either over or under exposed while shooting in "Auto", there is an easy and simple way to force your camera to change the exposure without having to tackle the manual mode. 

Step 1: Switch your camera from the "Auto" mode (Auto) to the "Programmed" mode (P) 

(NIKON Users)

Step 2: Locate the exposure compensation button (small button with the +/- signs).

Step 3: Push down on the button while rotating the wheel on the back of your camera either left or right to change your exposure. 

Step 4: Use the + side to make your exposure lighter or the - side to make the exposure darker.

This is an exposure taken in "Auto" mode. It is under-exposed.

Step 5: Retake your image, play with the settings until you get the exposure you are looking for. 

Step 6: Return the exposure compensation button to zero when finished. 

Learning to shoot in manual will allow you to get the most out of your camera, contact me for information about one-on-one classes.
