Big sister photo bomb!

Take advantage of the Spring Sale and receive some keepsakes like this for yourself!

Usually when we launch our Spring Sale it still feels like winter but not this year! Take advantage of this limited time pricing for digital photo sessions that include a disc of images and reproduction release. With the snow disappearing and the temps warming up this is a great time to schedule some outdoor photos. And as always, the studio or any other local location are available options.

All 2011 weddings and portrait sessions will be available online for this special print pricing so be sure to check your email inbox for a notification.

Ben has been a great worker bee here at Milestones the last few years and when he asked if he could use the studio on Valentines Day to surprise Diva I of course agreed. He stopped in earlier in the day to get the studio set up and I took a couple of pre-proposal pics.

No turning back now! After dinner Ben and Diva stopped by the studio, the plan was to tell her they were just going to do some fun Valentines self portraits which wouldn’t be suspicious (hopefully).

Part way through the photo session Ben dropped to one knee and…

Congratulations, Ben and Diva!

When I visit family they seem to expect me to photograph events…go figure. My niece had a basketball tournament this weekend so I took some action photos of her and few of my brother-in-law coaching. It was also an opportunity for me to give my sister some tips on photographing sports. Her questions were just like others I receive: How do you know the right camera settings? What lens should I use? Why doesn’t this lens work as well indoors as it does outdoors?

I’d love to help you out! I’m scheduling a new ABCs of DSLR seminar for Saturday, March 24. This workshop is for the beginning photographer with a DSLR who is intimidated by or wants to learn more about how their camera and lens works, how to properly measure exposure so you can be free of the automatic mode and how to better compose images.

Topics we’ll cover include:

• Cameras and lenses
• Shutter speed
• Aperture
• ISO
• Exposure
• Composition basics
• Digital issues and techniques

We’ll cover these topics in a class setting, go out with our cameras and apply what we’ve learned, and then review the photos we’ve made. And don’t be afraid! I’m not here to talk down to you, I’m here to talk with you to give you the confidence to take chances and make photographs you’ll be proud of.

What won’t we do? This class isn’t for somebody who wants to learn how to take photos just like Milestones Photography. Instead, my goal is to teach you to be a better photographer so you can find your own visual voice. Your perspective is unique and you should express it!

You might have noticed that Ashlee is…a little less vertical than Brad so we just embraced that and had a little fun with the height difference.

Here are two shot with my iPhone.

I’m sure she’ll want a steak dinner for being a good model.
