Hi Everyone!

This weekend, why not go outside and practice your natural light portraits?  Hopefully it isn’t too hot where you are.  Natural light photography is still my favorite and I love the gorgeous portraits that I’m able to get outdoors.

I found a couple of really helpful videos on youtube that demonstrate some natural light portrait techniques.  You can view them by clicking on the links below:

Hope you find these videos helpful!  Be sure to check out The Natural Light Project for more information on creating beautiful natural light portraits.

Have a great weekend,

Hi Everyone!

I can’t believe the response I’ve had to the articles and marketing guide for boudoir photography!  Seems as though many of you are wanting to get into this specialty.  With that in mind, I wanted to share a quick marketing tip for your boudoir photography business.

First, read the article by clicking the link below - then come back here for the tip:

Publicity is not conventional advertising.  Rather, it is a way to establish name recognition and credibility without spending a lot of money.  Your publicity campaign involves such things as sending out press releases, story ideas, and newsy items to the media on a regular basis.  Your blog and newsletter also serve a publicity-getting tools.
