That Hand Colored Look

Back in the day when there was only black and white film or color film was just too expensive, people hand colored photos. We had my grandparents black and white wedding photos hand colored when I was a teen. Here are some photos I made look like those.

Review: Point, Shoot, and Share DVD with Will Crockett

Jessica Wallach — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:59:35 +0000

Watching this video, Point, Shoot, and Share DVD with Will Crockett, makes me want to get up early, grab a camera and go shoot the details in my neighborhood. Will Crockett uses every day language to demystify photography terms so that everyone can understand it, young and old alike.

It is a great introduction and overview to using any digital camera, whether you are shooting a point and shoot or a DSLR, including post production and printing. It explains the basics of how to set up your camera and keep changing those basic settings to get a the photo you want. It both shows and tells you had to take a photograph, the walk through the streets of New Orleans really demonstrates how one builds a photograph so you can go out and start taking amazing photos.

Even though this video is for the amateur, I think pros would grow as a photographer by watching this, it really goes into Will Crockett’s way of thinking about photography on a personal personal level, how to grow our photography outside of client time, just to ride our passion.

Here are some photos I took that were inspired by this video

November

Happy November!

This year’s fall sessions have been so much fun and we can’t wait to do more!

We’ve photographed everything from father daughter domino games, to siblings jumping in leaves, to kids playing chess…the perfect kind of photo session. (Read the chess story here!). I love my job, thank you for making it possible!

What could be better than capturing what you want to celebrate about your family this year, while benefiting a great organization. We want to celebrate your family with photographs, and raise more money for Artemis House while doing it.

Here are some ideas for what your session could look like.

Photos of the entire family when everyone’s in town for Thanksgiving
Photos for holiday cards (yes, there’s still time!)
A New Year’s card
Documenting your family’s favorite holiday event or tradition
Sitting around a fire roasting marshmallows and drinking cocoa

To meet our goal for Artemis House we’d like to offer additional mini sessions at the day and location of your choosing, with a special sitting fee of $75 ($60 of which will be donated to Artemis House). We still have sessions available this coming weekend as well as Thankgiving and of course throughout December. The number of sessions is limited to ten, so let us know right away that you want your mini session!

Warmly,

Jessica Wallach
