     I'll be sharing some tips over the next few weeks to help you take better everyday images that you can be proud of.

How to shoot in full sun

     Today is a fairly easy tip.  The best tip I could give you to shoot on a full sun sunny day, is get out of the sun and into the shade.  Well sometimes I know it is harder then it looks.  So how do you shoot in the sun when you don't have any shade to go to?  you turn them so your subjects face is not in the sun.  For 

example, the top photo the sun is almost right on top and to the right of the children,  it is giving off horrible shadows on half their face and eyes.  The middle image is a little better but the sun in front of them is still giving off a bad shadow in their eyes, under the hat, and under their noses.  And the child is squinting.  The man in the photo is cheating and using glasses.  I really had no choice in this photo though we were vacationing in Yellowstone and I wanted to take a picture of them with the beautiful background and the sun was unforgiving that day.  On the third photo I turned him so the sun was behind him, no harsh shadows!!!  We now have an eye pleasing no harsh shadow image. So remember get into the shade or if there is no shade simply turn your subject so the sun is behind them.

 That is all for the tips, 5 weeks worth whoa, thank you for joining me on this journey!!!   I'm so happy I could help you take better photos that you love and be proud to show off.  Make sure you subscribe to my page, its right there at the top.  I will be sharing more of my personal photography journey, my photo shoots and some more tips later in the year.

My photography story

     I knew I wanted to be a photographer around the time my son turned 4.  Plus, I grew up with my dad always into photography and videography, he was always my inspiration.  So I got a cheap point and shoot camera and started shooting.  My first photos of my son I took I fell in love with and thought I was just born for photography. hahaha yea I look back on them and just laugh.  Now they were not horrible by any means but they definitely not the quality I believed them to be.  In the last 10 years I have grown soo much.  9 years ago, with the help of a group of very special ladies, I started taking photography classes and haven't stopped, some of them include NYIP, Rocky Mnt college, and through various other professional photographers.  I highly believe in you can never stop learning and if you stop learning you'll never grow.    Here is a picture of when I first started taking pictures.
