FAQ: For Photographers • Eastern Idaho Wedding Photographer

Q: Where are some of your favorite locations in the pheonix area?

A: My top two are the Mesa Arts Center and Granite reef.
The Mesa Arts Center is fave mostly because of the water. I save it for the tail end of the session because we tend to get a little wet.

I love the dots

I love the stairs



Granite reef is fave because of the big trees, green grass, and mountains. At different times of the year your pictures will have a different look. It's not always super green but still beautiful.







I do however enjoy shooting at all kinds of new locations. Sometimes we will drive around for a little bit, I'll see something that I like, and we will stop for some pictures.

FAQ: Large Groups

QUESTION: The family you did with like 50 people... everyone looked good... did you happen to capture a perfect moment or did you photo shop everyone so that they would look great?

Photobucket

ANSWER: The trick is to take ALOT of pictures and act crazy to get everyones attention (I need to get better at the acting crazy part.) One of my favorite photographers Jana bowen taught me a little trick to getting kids attention and getting them to smile. The trick is playing peek-a-boo with the kids using your camera. They will watch you and wait for you to pop out from behind your camera. It's a great trick! Thanks Jana.


Another thing that keeps the kids looking at you is to place a leaf (or business card) on your lens and tell the kids to let you know when it falls off. It works for some but not all.
