THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A PHOTOGRAPHER?

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

Hey there,

Have you been thinking about becoming a professional photographer? Do you own a camera? I wanted to share with you some tips, some things that I have learned along the way. I'm still growing and learning myself but, in the meanwhile I want to be able to give back to anyone out there, in a way that is helpful. So, today I'm going to show you a photography trick, that I have learned (concerning using a flash on your camera). If you have researched the prices of light kits, that can be very expensive but don't worry,  you can get the same look with your external flash.
  1. The first thing you need to do is get a reflector
  2. Second you will need a subject
  3. Third you will need someone to help you hold the reflector
  4. Hold your reflector at an angle that you can bounce your flash on. 
Note: You should have someone to hold the reflector above your subject or to the side of your subject.

Hope this helps

LOVE + FUN + BEACH = ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SHOOT

Meet
 FAITH & GARY


Norfolk Va engagement photographer, Ernest Smith and I Lequisha, spent a Saturday in April one evening at Norview Beach in Norfolk Va. With the fun, loving and engaged couple, Faith and Gary-soon to be Mr. and Mrs. Conwell this upcoming August. Before we even began our engagement photo shoot, a frustrated Ms. Allen was explaining to us how everything was going wrong for her that day and she just felt her pictures were not going to get done. Well, Faith, they were going to be done regardless (unless you would have said "no, not today")..lol.

We also got to have lots of chat time with Gary, getting to know him a little better (since we didn't get to meet him together with Faith during our initial consultation). So, after talking to each of them individually and then, seeing them together for the first time and how they interacted with each other. We can definitely see how they are meant for each other. How playful and loving they are to one another. Always, keep the smiles and laughter that you two have in your marriage always!

Let's look at the fun we had but, most of all Faith and Gary had together!











Well, what a way to end the engagement session. The sweet couple walking off into their future together, hand in hand!

Ernest and I sincerely wish you both the best, now and forever.
