growth

Noun: The process of developing or maturing physically, mentally, or spiritually.

A couple of years ago I was taught by the very talented Christine Kane that choosing a word that will inspire every single action you make over the year, is way better than setting a whole bunch of resolutions that most likely will never be accomplished and she was so right!

This year I decide to choose the word GROWTH. In this 2012 not only I want my business to grow, but I also want to grow in my personal life, my relationships and grow my possibilities. I have set my intention and I have said it out loud, and I am sure  the universe has heard me: IN THIS 2012 I HAVE CHOSEN TO RISE. 

I now leave you with my latest set of Self-Portraits. Here it is to a very AWESOME 2012

Taking self-portraits is a whole project, and finding the perfect composition and right focus can be hard. Here I didn’t know I was that close, nor that the crop was right above my lips (which I LOVE) or that the focus was on my zipper, “hello zipper” as my husband told me. But regardless of all that, I just ADORE this image

If you are ready to find some self-realization I recommend you read Danielle Laporte’s Blog she will rock your world. Also, if you are in business, any type of business, I recommend you subscribe to Marie Folio’s Newsletter. She is funny, clever and such an AWESOME business woman

LIGHTING

Lighting is one of the most important components in an image and mastering it takes lots of practice. However, a basic tip is to avoid shooting against light.  Another great tip, if you are planning to photograph your kids at the playground do it two hours before sunset. The light at this time of the day is not as harsh and it will give you beautiful cream tones. To master lighting you need to practice a lot, but these two tips will set you in the right direction.

B&W.

I LOVE B&W; there is something very special about it and no matter how much I use it, I just never get enough. If you want to convert images into B&W never, ever shoot in monochromatic. Always shoot in color and then edit the image to B&W either in Aperture, Photoshop or Lightroom.  This way you can control the contrast and the image does not lookplain gray.

DON’T SWEAT IT. THEY DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK AT THE CAMERA.

This is another urban legend, just like the cheese. Who says that your family ALWAYS has to be looking at the camera? That is so not true. Beautiful photos are also captured when the family is interacting. Let them be! This tip references back to Chasing Toddlers. As I said before, just sit back and let the moment unfold organically. Shoot away and move around so you get different angles.

CHEESE IS ONLY GOOD IN A SANDWICH!!

I am not even sure how the whole cheese thing became a part of photography, but we have all been brainwashed into saying it! I am on a mission to make it stop! LET’S BAN THE CHEESE!

When you say “cheese” your smile is never, EVER natural. Try it right now. Say “Cheese” out loud, I’ll wait…

You see. It is horrible! It makes your eyes squint giving you wrinkles and the smile is so unnatural.  Instead of asking your kids to say “cheese”, crack a joke, especially if it is about a fart.  I know! Not very glamorous, but you’ll have your kids laughing out loud!
