The Secret to a Good Picture

§ May 26th, 2010 § Filed under Hints and Tips § Tagged , , , § 4 Comments

My secret to a good picture??? 

I have three friends that are professional photographers.

One friend is the mom of my son’s best buddy.  One is my neighbor and my dearest friend since I was 16.  And one is my graduate-school kindred spirit.

Yup. That is my secret.  It’s probably cheating.  Okay it IS cheating. But, if you don’t have a friend who is a professional photographer, you need to get one.  Like, right away.  Buy these folks coffee…. let them borrow your car….do whatever…. Because when you send your son on playdates you get pics like THIS:

When you have a new baby you get pics like THIS from Auntie Sugar:

When they need last minute models for their workshops you get the phone call and then end up with pics like THIS:

I know.   I need to bake more and pay these women back, eh?

Using Photography to Soothe the Soul – Again!

§ March 22nd, 2010 § Filed under Photo Tale § Tagged , , Comments Off

Let’s try this again…

Instead of a book review, I am going to send you all to Me Ra Koh Photography today.

As you know from my post on Monday, things are not quite right over here at the MamaBloo household. Just writing that post earlier this week and reading all your wonderful comments helped a lot to sort out my feelings and take a deep breath.  But I also wrote a photo tale for Me Ra where I looked to photography to help out a bit, as well.

If you have not been following Me Ra on her Thailand  and Cambodian adventures, they are both inspirational and harrowing at the same time… seriously.  

Anyway, jump over to Me Ra’s blog today for a little photo tale on how even though my technical savvy with the camera is still in its developmental stages, I can still use it to capture who my kids really are and soothe my soul.

Next week there will be another photo tale on Me Ra’s blog.  This one will deal with my quest to find the best lighting in my house.  And, oh, what a quest it was, too.

Check out my new PHOTO TALE at Me Ra Koh Photography today.  My Photo Tale today is about how I handed my $9oo camera to my 4 year old… and what happened next.  Click Here  to read it. 

If you are visiting from Me Ra Koh photography, welcome to my humble little corner of mommy-blog-land!  I hope you’ll spend approximately 3.22 minutes checking out my site.  Or, if you really like it and you have already poured your coffee, you can bump that number up to 5.11 minutes — either is fine by me.  Thanks!

Look below and you can see a pic of Me Ra and me from 2007 when I attended her Seattle Photography Workshop.    Don’t we look G.O.O.D.??  Enjoy!
