What size print products should you purchase? • michigan baby & child photographer

I am so thrilled to be able to write this post. You see, I get questions from clients all the time – “I’m not sure what size to order” or “just how big IS a 16×20?” That’s one of the reasons why I prefer to talk to my clients when they’re in the ordering phase…sometimes people just don’t know.

Here’s a photo that I took last night in my studio. I’m so happy to share this to have an actual demonstration of how different the sizes I offer are.

In addition to this photo, I am also proud to offer wall display guides, which can help you decide what sizes you’d like and which way you’d like to display them in your home. http://www.twoangelsphotography.com/blog/clients/wall-gallery-guides/

When you look at this photo, think to yourself, which would YOU prefer to see on your wall? Would you rather be able to enjoy your photos from the comfort of your couch, or would you prefer to have to get up to look at the details?

Growing Family! • brighton michigan family photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Alexis and her beautiful family for the holidays again! This time, they had Natalie with them! Remember her newborn session? And her little curl? http://www.twoangelsphotography.com/blog/2011/07/sweet-baby-girl-brighton-michigan-newborn-photographer/

The boys were being boys, and Natalie was being a baby, and all was well in the land of custom portraits! Never a dull moment with my job!

Super Sibling Session! • ann arbor michigan child photographer

Christina — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 03:53:07 +0000

First, my apologies for the delay in updating my blog! Life with 3 kids under 4 is a bit busy, so blogging took a bit of a backseat to my other priorities (like client galleries and orders)

Maia & Eli’s session was my first session after my maternity leave and it couldn’t have been more fun! Started with a trip to Zingerman’s which you can see here: http://www.twoangelsphotography.com/blog/2011/11/morning-traditions-•-ann-arbor-michigan-baby-and-child-photographer/ and then we hung out in Kerrytown!

Here are some of my favorites!

Click! Photography Workshops & Mentoring • Winter Session 2012! | Michigan baby photographer

Christina — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:13:03 +0000

Since I hosted the first workshop last fall, I’ve had many people contact me to see if I would be hosting another workshop, and the time has come!

Did you receive a DSLR as a Holiday Gift this year? Do you know how to use it? Do you know what the different modes mean?

“So now almost everyone owns a camera. Yet, of all the commonplace tools available to us, the SLR camera is propably the least understood and certainly the most under-exploited. All too frequently the average amateur will purchase a fine modern camera and proceed to use it for making the most elementary simple snapshots. This surely is like playing ‘Chopsticks’ on a concert grand piano.”

– Famous NY photographer, Sam Haskins

This is a great time to learn how to better use that great new camera…and take it off Auto Mode (you know, the little green box on the dial?)

“It’s NOT the camera” is designed to take place in person, for approximately 3.5 hours. It includes hands-on guidance, a curriculum that will cover the components of your camera, and the basics of understanding the ever-important exposure triangle. You will walk away with confidence and understanding on how to take your camera off Auto mode and understand more about how to take better photographs.

***It is VERY important to note that this course will not be covering any information about starting a photography business, advanced photography, or Photoshop (or other editing programs) instruction; rather, it is focused on the everyday shooting aspect of documenting your life. Participants must sign a non-compete agreement stating that they will not offer a similar course or start a photography business within one year of completing the course.***

Now for the details!!!

What’s Included:

• It’s NOT the camera! Workshop (fundamentals of photography – taking your camera off auto mode)
• Lunch! We will take a short break and a snack will be provided (please specify any special dietary needs when registering)
• Workbook for you to take home with you, detailing what we have covered and for you to take notes
• The ability to take your camera off Auto mode

Where: Two Angels Photography Studio (located between Brighton & Howell, MI)

Required Equipment:

• You must have a DSLR (Canon, Nikon, or other) with a memory card

Cost: The workshop cost is $125 per person (plus 6% MI Sales Tax) and is due at the time of registration. Those that register by 9pm on Wednesday, February 8 will receive a discount and be charged just $115 (+tax) per person. Tuition is fully refundable up to one week prior to the workshop. Any cancellations within 1 week of the workshop will receive a $50 refund.

The workshop will be capped at 8 registrants to be sure that there is ample time to cover the workbook and answer individual questions.

Morning Traditions • Ann Arbor Michigan baby and child photographer

Christina — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:05:24 +0000

I had a great time with my doula, Cara, and her children on Friday morning. They have a fantastic tradition of starting their days at Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor… so we thought it’d be fun to do some shots there.

Here are some of my favorites:
