Had a blast doing this on location! This is a great way to show off your personality and make your pictures pop!

I used a combination of natural light and flash.  I also had a blast aligning the background together.

Enjoy!

Sweet 16 twins

7 Jan

When the event came, it was very difficult event to photograph simply because I had never had twins before and I literally had to be at two places at the same time.  When I posed them for their big portrait, one of the sisters was almost an entire foot taller than the other one, so I had to come up with poses that showcased both girls equally.

What to do when YOUR in the picture. Bringing out the Emotion.

3 Oct

What do you do when YOUR in the picture? Do you panic?  Do you get nervous?  What do you do?  RELAX.  Breathe in and let out a big sigh.    You will find that by being able to relax, that your photo session can actually become really fun.  It is great to be in a wonderful pose and in the best angles, but as a portrait photographer, I realize that it is all about your face.  Body language is fantastic; however, if your face is telling another story, it does not work.  How do you get that certain facial expression?  Once you are in your pose and settled in, think about something, ANYTHING!  Think about someone that makes you smile or maybe a joke that makes you laugh.  Think about that special someone and all the great moments.  Go into character.  Think that you are a sexy spy or that mischievous librarian that is talking too loud.  The point is to have a thought in mind and react to it while in front of the camera.  In that way, your emotion will come through and bring your photographs to life.  This will make all the difference between a lifeless photograph that is without emotion, and a brilliant photograph, that has that certain sparkle in your eyes.  

Happy Photographing,

Aimee Michelle
