Photo Tip

Shooting in full sun, with no shade available anywhere? Bring along a helper and an umbrella. Voilà, no squinting and no harsh shadows on her face.

(Learned that by watching the photographers on Saturday. Thanks TSS Photography!)

Oh this is wonderful! You are so smart. I doubt I could convince Steve to do that though;)

I never would have thought of an umbrella, either! When we got there, there were three people standing around with an umbrella (none of the photographers were taking pictures at the time) and I was thinking that it really wasn’t hot enough to need an umbrella to shade yourself from the sun, and it certainly didn’t look like rain, either! Those people must be crazy! LOL Until I saw what they were REALLY doing.

Anjeanette, tell Steve if Greg can do it, so can he!! 😉

Doreen, still trying to decide. I have a couple of each. I might use one for buttons and the other one for the prints. I’ll put them on the blog in the next few days.
