Back Button Focusing

We ask the same question over and over again.

"how do I get my images to be sharp?"

or

"how can I get many more images sharp?"

I want to tell you a little secret! I just found out about it myself.

Thanks to my curiosity and research, I came across this AMAZING post

ever! It literally gives you step by step on how to

set up your back button focusing.

What does it do? Well, with a click of a button, you don't

have to keep re-focusing every single shot.

SERIOUSLY?! This is amazing!

All my images look a million times sharpen

than ever before thanks to this amazing post!

Just take 5 minutes to figure it out, it's SO worth it.

It took me 10, but that's because I'm slightly slow

when it comes to any menu.

Hope this helps!

Happy Thursday!

Jasmine Star on CreativeLIVE

This past weekend,

I sat on my toosh, for about a total of 10 hours,

watching Jasmine Star on creativeLIVE. The course taught me,

more than I could have ever imagined and it just gets me

more pumped about my wedding season!

Since the move, I have been researching, working with other photogs with weddings,

and stalking Jasmine Star's blog :)

Nothing could have made my brain click, unless it was Jasmine Star.

Now, I'm a bit more business savvy, actually a LOT more, and I plan to keep

on learning each and every day.

I made some new photogs friends too while watching Jasmine Star!

She should have her own forum for photogs! Well, I guess she basically already does

on her facebook. Anyways, just wanted to share that with you!

Although, I have weddings to photograph this year, I will be going full-time next year.

Andrew and I will tag team to photograph the beautiful memories that can always be created

during a wedding! It will be exciting!

Jasmine is a huge inspiration to me and

I love helping other photogs when they ask me questions!

I would love to do a Q&A once a week!

So, photogs, if you see this, shoot me questions

through email or facebook and I'm thinking every Friday

I can do Q&A time! Whether it's personal questions

about me, my business plan, or my photography.

I want to hear it all!

Lighting and Such

So, I know a lot of you ask me about my lighting and how I do it.

Truth is, I took a workshop with Trevor Dayley and suddenly,

everything I ever learned in school suddenly clicked.

His words spat out lightbulbs and by taking that amazingly awesome

workshop, I am where I am today, with lighting :)

I do encourage all photographers who are starting out, or have been photographing

and it hasn't clicked yet, well take his workshop!

It did wonders and it is amazing!

I know money is sometimes an issue, but it's the best investment I have ever made!

But, if it really is an issue, you should check out this article by the talented,

Michelle Moore. Her photographs are amazing and once you look at them,

I know you will be like, "oh, I so have to read this awesome article!"

It's a long read, but it's so worth it.

It explains backlighting, photographing in the shade, and what not!

I'm gonna go practice and get her technique down!

Really awesome article is here.

Happy late Sunday!

Boo to mondays!
