I have to admit that this family is really hard to beat in sweetness, cuteness and kindness and a million other wonderful things! I had such a wonderful time yesterday shooting on your farm and i hope you had a good time too!! Here is your sneak.. just for you!!
I had a premier yesterday! My very first time shooting a wedding! Kari called me two weeks ago and asked me if i wanted to shoot some pictures at her reception. Luckily i said yes cause i got a huge learning experience shooting the wonderful decoration, her getting dressed as the wonderful bride she was and the party in the evening. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to make my first steps into the wedding photography and to let me share some time with you on this very special day of yours!!! Congratulations Kari and Shan! You are such a wonderful couple!!
Here they are!!! I was so waiting to be able to get some pictures done of that session so i could show them to you! Isn’t she soooo pretty?!!
Tonight i had a wonderful time shooting a really amazing and beautiful girl. She loves photography just like me and when i asked her to be my model and she said yes i already knew that we will have a great time.. and boy we had! I got to try out so many cool things and fun effects with lighting it was just amazing. And she is such a natural when it comes to posing.. thank you so much for beeing my model tonight! And i can’t wait to show you all the rest of this awesome session!!!
Hi everyone!
I got a new SECRET SESSION sneak for you..
Looks fun, ha? Wait until you see the rest! I really had a blast shooting them.. even if i again didn’t had much luck with the weather!
This was actually the first time i went to Fort Dodge to shoot a session and i have to say, I LOVE IT.. i already got tones and tones of new ideas and fun spots for the next hundred sessions!
And here we are, right on my next topic! I wanna say THANK YOU SO MUCH to those who already had a session with me or booked one and spread the word about AR PHOTOGRAPHY and how much they like my pictures.. I am super thrilled about all the people who called or emailed me and booked a session or just keeping me in mind for their senior pictures or engagments sometime in the future!
Thank you so so much.. i love photography and i love that you love what i love.. and that you are making it possible for me to do it everyday!!
So be ready for a lot more session sneaks and reveals to come..
Today i thought i will tell you a little bit about that mystical word ISO! What does ISO mean and how can it help you to take better pictures?
First let’s get the term ISO figured out.. ISO stands for International Standarts Organisation. That is the standart by which light sensitivity is getting measured.
So that means that the ISO number is telling you how sensitive your film or camera sensor is to light. The lower the ISO number (for example ISO 50 or 100) the slower is the film or the less sensitive is the sensor and the longer it takes to expose the image right. And the higher the number (for example ISO 400, 1600) the faster and more sensitive is the film and the less light and time it takes to expose an image right.
So as you probably figured already, the less light you got the higher do you have to set your ISO. So where you before maybe had a hard time taking a good exposed or sharp picture, and instead got a very blurred mess or a picture almost black, do you now just go ahead and bump up your ISO setting to 200 or 400 or even 800 and you will be able to capture the scene with more success.
But be aware that there is, how it is with almost everything, a downside to that fantastic invention called ISO.. that is that as higher you bump up your ISO, as more grain or noise and loss in color saturation you will get. But this also depends on the camera you are using.. you will most likely get more grain with a general point-and-shoot than you will get with a Canon Rebel or even a 5D. This you will have to figure out by yourself and than also.. sometimes grain can add an interesting touch to a picture.. specially in black and white.
If you got some more questions just post em here or check me out at facebook.. Have a great sunday!!
What a cute cute couple and what a beautiful song they have.. sit back and enjoy!
This evening i had the pleasure of shooting Jennifer and Trevor, two really amazing people. We had a really ugly rain going on and so i wanted to cancel first, but Jennifer was so enthusiastic and just ask me to try despite the rain and the clouds.. and i am so glad i did. So here, a little preview of what we did..
I am sooo excited.. finally i am able to show off some pictures of the most sweetest girls i know! The session was a birthday surprise for Brenna’s and Danielle’s Mom and really gave me a hard time not revealing it right the next day, cause i was so excited about how the pictures turned out and how much fun i had!!! The session was Jenna’s idea, and when she told me that Brenna was the sweetest model i never would have guessed how amazing she really is!
And to make it even better, Brenna’s beautiful sister Danielle and her amazing friend Maranda came along too and in between breaks and outfit changes we took some fun pictures and had a good time. 
Check out the slideshow… and enjoy!
