Tips on buying your first camera
The following are some general principles and considerations if you are about   to buy your next digital camera:Digital Camera
1. Budget
Decide first how  much you have to spend on your new camera. Factor in some dollars for   extra memory and maybe a re-chargeable battery kit and extra batteries.  Also, a camera case or bag will protect your camera from dust and bumps (not supplied with the camera).

.Whether you are buying a compact or an SLR the same considerations apply. Do you want it go in your handbag, your coat pocket, your shirt pocket or your back pack? Do you require an ultra compact camera? Is it for a beach holiday - does it need to be splash and sand proof? Will I be taking a lot of indoor shots, night time parties, or tall buildings, speeding racing cars? Do you want a camera that can take wide angle or telephoto lenses? Will you only ever want to take point and shoot shots?. All brands  are very good so you can't go wrong really , buy what you need and in your budget.

Dressing for family portraits the right clothes
Carefully chosen clothing allows the face to dominate a family portrait, with all other elements being secondary. Against a medium or dark background, colors that photograph best for the yearbook portrait and other close-up poses are medium to dark tones of green, brown, rust, wine, or blue. Darker shades are more slimming.

Bold stripes, plaids, checks, and prints are visually confusing and do not photograph well.

Bright colors, such as red and orange, will overwhelm the face and ruin a portrait.

Because darker clothing is slimming, it often is a good choice for full-length or three-quarter-length portraits in which a medium to dark background is used.

Bare shoulders or tops with “spaghetti straps” often make the subject look heavier and take the eye away from the face.

Informal portraits invite much more variety in clothing color and style. Girls can choose a favorite casual outfit, dress, prom dress, shorts, jeans outfit—the clothes you really enjoy. Guys can go formal or casual as well: Anything from a suit to the clothes you live in every day, including a school or other jacket. Bring along extra outfits, and we will help you choose.

if you have a hobby, then bring it along! Musical instruments, art supplies, theatrical garb or athletic uniforms, stuffed animals, skateboards, pets, girlfriends, boyfriends, and buddies. Think creatively and you’ll have a family portrait to remember!
Psychologists Agree – Potraits on Display Make a Child Feel Loved
Many psychologists who specialize in early childhood development believe that children who see their own images displayed throughout the home grow up with a feeling of wellbeing and self-confidence.

Portraits on display, they agree, make a child feel loved and valued. And when parents, siblings, and even grandparents appear in the portrait, the child is reminded of the meaningful place he or she enjoys within the family.

What better way to demonstrate how you feel about your child than to decorate your home with portraits made at important milestones in his or her life!

Planning the most precious investment you’ll ever make...

...An investment in the lifetime of your child.

A Baby Today. . .A Child Tomorrow


At no time in your child’s life will changes occur so rapidly than they do during the first year and early childhood years that follow. In what seems like the blink of an eye, a tiny helpless bundle is transformed into an active, robust, and inquisitive youngster. These changes have already begun! So it’s not too soon to call for your baby’s first studio appointment. We’ll explain the many charming possibilities for capturing the developmental stages of the first year and beyond.

Preserve the wonder of infancy in a portrait collection that captures your child’s first milestones . . . from birth . . . to sitting up and crawling . . . and finally the independence of walking. This lovely “portrait story” can become the first chapter of your child’s personal portrait history.

 

Infant And Toddlers


Little ones photograph best in simple clothing that doesn’t overpower their delicate features. Whites and pastels are classic choices, and casual play clothing works well for older babies. This also is a great time for no clothes at all!

Pre-Teens And Teens

Clothing, locations, and props that show moods, activities, and achievements are good choices for these ages.

Many clients tell us they regret not having more portraits made as their children grew up. It’s not that they didn’t value childhood portraits, they simply led busy lives, and the years just slipped by. That’s why we’ve created a structured plan to help parents recognize the most important times to have their children photographed: The “7 Ages of Childhood”— times that mark the most significant changes along the path from infancy to young adulthood.
