I love the graduated filter tool in Lightroom. With it, you can just drag a ‘window shade’ of saturation down over your sky or let in a diagonal leak of light in the corner of your photo. I was disappointed that the new version of Lightroom (LR3) didn’t add the ability of erasing portions of [...]
The holidays are nearly upon us and our clients are going to be asking about cards! I like making mine in Elements because I love the ease of the project bin which shows me all of my open files and lets me drag and drop them with ease. The steps are below and even lower, [...]
Over on my blog, I entertain reader questions weekly. Today I got a question so great I wanted to share the answer with you fine people! Q. “I have tried both Aperture and Lightroom and I can’t make up my mind. So which one should I get?” A. At first, one might give this reader [...]
One of my favourite services that I offer is that of the engagement shoot. I include an engagement shoot in my wedding package and have gotten rave reviews from all my couples. My couples love the e-shoot. By the time they’ve gotten around to finding their photographer, many couples have pretty much finished all their [...]
Over on my post 6 Tips for Setting Your Photography Prices, there has been some discussion about whether a photographer should ever sell original, unedited files. There’s also some questioning whether photographers should sell any digital files at all, edited or not. But then, that’s a common dialogue always going on amongst photographers. I just thought [...]
Focus is quite possibly one of the most vague and mysterious things I’ve ever had to suss out in my photographic journey. It got ever-clearer (pun intended) when I got my Canon 7D. Even now, just admitting that I have one makes my heart skip a little beat. Ok…reeling in my inner geek. Let me [...]

But what happens after you’ve photographed the top of her head, her feet, her scrunched up newborn face and laying on her tummy? For a keen momarazza or paparazzi who are just waiting for their little bundle [...]
I’ve written a couple times before about photographer A (artsy fartsy) and photographer B (‘B’ for all business). If you’re going to have a successful photography business and not be a starving artist, it’s essential to fuse these two qualities into one artistic and business minded brain. If you’re photographer A, you’re going to get [...]
Weddings are such delicate piece of work. They can’t be done flippantly or without preparation. And with such easy access to high performance pieces of equipment, it is so easy for just any Joe Schmo to buy a DSLR and some business cards. This practice means that us professionals need to be completely on the [...]
Aah the rings of marriage. As many’a groomsman speech has pointed them out: the engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffering. Har har. Jewellery is pretty much the main detail of an engagement. As soon as the girlfriends take a breath after a long and high-pitched shriek, they want to see the ring. Then comes the [...]
