What is the Rule of Thirds? The Rule of Thirds is a basic composition guideline in photography. It plays on the natural tendency for our eyes to be drawn towards certain parts of an image. Imagine a tic tac toe board. Now imagine that tic tac toe board sitting on top of your picture. The…
I Heart Faces – Dramatic Black and White
I almost forgot to enter a photo in this week’s I Heart Faces photo challenge. Which would have been a shame, considering the fact that maternity shots I took last weekend are perfect in black and white. Here’s one that I thought fit the “dramatic” theme: I am loving black and white more and more.
Spring Break Plans
I look forward to Spring Break every year. It’s one of my favorite times of the year with my kids. Full of traditions. Here’s a little sneak peak at what we’ll be doing this coming week (click the links to see our Spring Break fun from years past): * Our annual trip to the National…
Even Worms Look Better With Bokeh – GMYBS
I mentioned a while ago that I got a new Canon 50mm f/1.8 metal mount lens, like this one, here: As much as I didn’t love my first 50mm lens (I believe I had a lemon), I adore this lens. They don’t make these anymore, and I don’t know why. The metal mount is glorious….
When Kids Pick The Neighbors’ Flowers

Focusing on Angles
I love using creative angles to capture portraits. Off-center, tilted, and from different perspectives. Particularly, I think kids look adorable when looking up at the camera. Here’s a photo I caught a little while ago of a precious little girl who did not want to sit still. Standing above her caught her attention just enough…
Prom Pictures
I was asked to be the unofficial/official photographer for this weekend’s Church Prom. The Prom dresses were gorgeous (there was such a great variety of modest prom dresses! I was impressed), and the kids were energetic, positive, and lots of fun. Many of my young friends have asked to see a sample of the pictures…
SOOC – Give Me Your Best Shot PSF
SOOC= Straight Out Of Camera This week, I caught a shot that I fell in love with immediately. And after wards I did something that I rarely ever do. I didn’t do ANYTHING. No editing. No cropping. No color or exposure adjustment. What you see is what you get. And I love it. Yes, I’m…
Exposure Compensation – A Bloggography Tutorial
For this week’s Bloggography photography tutorial, we are going to explore exposure compensation. This post was written by my co-host, Manic Mother. What is exposure compensation?
