Self Portraits in Boulder Colorado
How I take self-portraits I love my Canon R5 and the Canon Camera Connect App!
I connect my phone via Wifi or Bluetooth and can use my phone to nail focus, set timers, and change settings like ISO, shutter speed, and more.
The Canon Camera Connect is a free app for download on Android and iOS devices. To get started, head to the Play Store or the App Store and hit Install. It can work with many types of cameras including the PowerShot series and mirrorless series.
I start by taking a few test shots and seeing if I like my settings. I do a few different poses and then try to move my camera to a new position for some variance, we don’t need a million photos in the same pose.
After I get the shots I like, I then make sure I get some without me in them so I can overlay them or use them as a double exposure style in photoshop. This helps make sure I have a variety of images instead of the same framing and the same posing. (like the cover photo for this blog post!).
Child Portraits San Diego
Ms Novalee here, gets her photo taken quite often and absolutely loves to model. Modeling is so much fun AND she gets to try on new client outfits or dresses like these Balticborn gowns for toddlers.
San Diego Maternity | Stanley Family | Windansea Beach La Jolla, CA
This military family met up with me on Windansea Beach here in La Jolla for their Maternity photo session. Mom brought this olive/army green dress, and I brought the burnt orange Chicaboo gown! Which, is in my client closet for ANY client to use, Maternity or not.
Sadly, our photo session only lasted a few minutes before the sky lit up beautifully at sunset and momma needed a little extra help because babe was pushing on her nerve. Just to be safe, we ended the session and momma got the medical attention she needed! YOU and your babies health come before photos <3
