The Mom and Me Portrait Event started on Monday and there has been lots of laughter, smiles, giggles and even some crying coming from the studio. Here are just a few of the precious photos that were taken Monday. Make sure to book your FREE sitting for your Mom and Me Portraits.

I hear you saying "I need to "lose 10lbs first". Hogwash.  Your children think you are perfect just the way you are and want photos of you now. Don't have anything to wear? You don't have to get dressed up, casual is often best. Don't have children? Bring your mom. Your mom isn't around, bring the special lady in your life you go to for advice. Kids are grownup? Bring them along (they still have to listen to their mother!)

This is a great opportunity to have some fabulous photos taken in honour of Mother's Day, so call us and make your appointment 604-463-3654.


Sports Quick Photo Tip 

   

Sports shooters are always looking for that ideal action shot - the one that makes all the waiting and camera work pay off in the end. Being positioned close to the field is always an advantage, and having a monopod or tripod to provide stability is another important benefit. (Available at Photo Express and online here) 

 

It also helps to keep your eye on the ball.

 

It's often our instinct to focus on the players and wait for one of them to have possession of the ball, but it's sometimes more effective to keep your camera trained on the ball and follow it until the action shot reveals itself. Having your camera set in continuous shooting mode will also help when the moment arrives.

 

In addition, you may want to use a larger aperture so that the focus remains on the player while the background is thrown out of focus and not competing with the subject.

We also offer density, enhancing, cross screen filters and more! Pick one or two and watch her creativity soar!
