Photographers, the hobbyist, the professional, the amateur all benefit from this ability to manipulate pixels. However, with flexibility comes a price. Digital camera equipment is still considerably more expensive when you factor in its’ lifespan, the need for...

Miss our Holiday Blitz photo shoot???
Here’s some helpful hints on how to set-up & take a holiday portrait at home!
Think: personal. If your family loves to bake cookies every holiday season, consider taking some photos of the kids decorating cookies! Maybe your family has a big snowball fight every year, get all bundled up & go outside!
If you’re a traditional family that wants the perfect scene with the Christmas tree & dressy clothes (my fave!) here’s a couple of hints for you:
~ Take the photo during the day, not enough light will result in too...

Dehydrating Cranberries!
Last Sunday I purchased a dehydrator and set right to work drying cranberries!
.. I know what you’re thinking: ”Aimee, you haven’t blogged in pert near nine months, Big C had a baby, and all the sudden you write about cranberries! What about that wedding you two captured in Chicago? What about the fringe show you worked with? What about –”
Okay, okay, I get it.
Stuff has happened this year folks, and it will all be a’blogged about.
And moving forward, I’ll try to be less analog and more digital! How bout it?
Until...
