Week 3: Depth of Field

My husband bought me a new lens so I could get those oh-so-desired blurry backgrounds. It is harder than it seems. Everything looks good on that tiny little LCD screen on my camera. Not so much on the computer screen. Lesson learned....I may need to raise the f-stop a bit to get BOTH people in focus. This is good for a beginner, right?

Doug & Amanda...in love

It's been a loooong time since I last visited the National Cathedral. You know how sometimes you remember things from when you were a kid and they seemed so much bigger back then but now they are just average? Well, this was not the case. The Cathedral is huge and very beautiful both inside and out. It was Amanda's idea to select this venue and WOW what a great idea it turned out to be. There seemed to be countless photo ops but here are a few of my personal favs:

Engaged! Blair & Patrick

Blair and Patrick are prepping for a July wedding in Texas! Luckily, Patrick was in DC visiting this past weekend so we found some time to get in some engagement photos before the big day. They were a great couple to work with...natural modeling talent and all!

Week 2: Night Shooting (Plus Amy and Mike....in love!)

Amy and Mike were such a fun couple to work with. They offered me a challenge...night shooting + snow + wind. This was great for a week two challenge. We conquered it and came out with a few nice shots.

Check them out and let me know what you think! Photographers...I am open to tips here as this was difficult. I read some articles and watched a tutorial with tips...but I bet you have a few magic bullets up your sleeve. Do tell. What is the secret to great night time photography??
