What's with the mini sessions anyway?

I have done mini sessions several times in the past, but they don't seem to get the attention I would like to see them get. So, I thought, maybe I need to explain what my mini sessions are like. Well, in one word.....FUN!!!! Lol, ok I am biased. But really, what is with these sessions anyway? What makes them different then the other sessions. 
First, they are a smaller version of my full session. Mini sessions are convenient and quick. They work great for busy families who don't have a lot of time. Everything is set up and ready. All I need is your smile. 
Secondly, they are less expensive. You still get a variety of photos but at a lower price. There is no sitting fee. Just one easy price. 
Lastly, like I said, they are fun. Sometimes I have little gifts for the kids when they give me their best smiles. I sometimes even have a little something for the adults. I want this to be fun. Many people don't love getting their photo taken, but I try to make it an enjoyable time for everyone. 

What do you think? Doesn't sound so bad, does it? 
Keep an eye out for my next mini session. You don't want to miss it. 
Below I have a few examples of sessions I have done in the past. 

Spring/Easter Mini Session is coming soon!!!

Foto Tip Friday!!

These days we have so many options for photos. 
Photography studios are still around but you may have noticed that the department store studios are becoming a thing of the past. The digital era is making it easier to choose a backdrop and have it put into your photo in post processing. Phones have become better photo takers than an expensive camera.....well, sometimes.
 I prefer outdoor photography because it offers natural lighting and endless options. Drive around and you can find several areas that would make beautiful backdrops for your photos. Check out your own backyard for ideas. Browse photos online to get oodles of ideas. Keep in mind that the location should match the personality of the people in the photo. Have fun and try all sorts of different places. 
If you decide to go with the digital options, again browse online and you will find many ideas. 
Have fun being creative!

Easter Mini Sessions coming soon!!!

Small Business Group

I have a group page on Facebook. Did you know that? Well, if not here I am to tell you that yes, indeed, I do. It is called the Small Business Moms of Northern Arizona. This group is a place to advertise if you are a woman who has her own small business. It has been a great group, no drama. That is how I like it!!!! Check it out if you are a small business mom.

What to Wear Wednesday!!!! Head Shots

A head shot is mainly just your head, so it really doesn't matter what you wear. Right?  Wrong!!

It is just as important what you wear in this type of photo as any other, if not more. You are representing your business. So what you wear and how you feel in what you are wearing is vital.

 Here are some things to keep in mind when planning for your head shot photo:

* Wear clothes that are comfy and don't overdress.
* Avoid logos or branding
* Avoid busy patterns or large lines or stripes
* Bring a few different outfits to try different looks
* Keep jewelry simple
* Be prepared to remove piercings
* Make up should be clean and natural

Keep it simple and remember to dress comfortably. Not only comfortable fitting clothing but comfortable styles. You want to look confident and proud.

Digital Photography 1 online course

I have been a photographer for about 5 years now. I love it!!! So when the idea of teaching others how to do it came up, I thought, hey I can do that.  So, after a lot of work, my Digital Photography 1 Course was born. I started teaching it to groups of people on a random evening in person. But I felt like I was missing people. The nights I did it didn't always work for everyone, so I often would get asked to let people know when I was going to do another one. Then I got the idea to make it an online course. This can reach anyone anytime. People can take the class when it fits into their schedule. So, after a lot more work my Digital Photography 1 online course was born. I have to admit I am not an actor, so it is not exactly professional, but I think I did pretty good for my first try. Lol.

In this class I teach several things that are pretty basic when it comes to using a digital camera with lenses. Many people just set their camera to auto and click away. My class teaches you how to begin to choose the settings yourself. Like I said, it is pretty basic, so it doesn't go to deep into things. I didn't want to confuse people when some of them only know how to turn their camera on. 

Here is one of the slides I use in the video. It tells what I talk about. Exposure triangle, rule of thirds, lighting, and tips to remember when taking photos are the main points. I take time to talk about each one and explain what they do.

I am offering this class for only $25. I am throwing in some of my notes on aperture that dig a little deeper into what aperture is and does and how to adjust it for the photo you want to take. I also am offering each person who purchases this class, a membership onto a Facebook page that is private and only for people who have taken the class. This page allows for people to talk and exchange tips and tricks they learned from the class.

If you are interested in this class please contact me by email at www.remembrancephoto11@yahoo.com . Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have as well.

My hope with this class is that the people who take it will better understand their camera and be on their way to taking the photos they want without the camera choosing for them. Cameras will only get more and more complicated so why not learn how to stay ahead of the game.
