Usually I request that clients bring special memoirs with them to their photoshoots to help bring my creative vision alive and to make their photos something to remember for a lifetime. These memoirs along with any special requests from the clients' Pinterest boards help make beautiful photos. BrittanyBrittany was having her senior photoshoot done, so, naturally, she wanted her class ring included and accentuated and a photo showing her tattoo. However, my favorite piece from Brittany's photoshoot was a necklace from her grandmother. These types of pieces (and now these photos) will always be special to Brittany and her family.

Blake Lloyd, a former student of mine and founder of Blake Lloyd Photography, is an aspiring photographer in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina. Blake is currently taking courses to learn Photoshop and apprenticing to learn all that she can about photography. Here are 5 reasons you should book Blake Lloyd Photography for your next family session or event: Budget.![]() Blake's photography business is perfect for anyone who needs quality images on a budget. Because she is a student, her prices are on the lower side, however (and equally), because she is a student, she is learning more and more about technology that most seasoned photographers do not know. Student photographers, like Blake, are the way to go! Flexibility.Creativity.Passion.![]() One thing I love about working with students is their passion!

light.THE PROBLEM WITH HARSH LIGHT: Sometimes we think, "the more light, the better," however, the full sun causes some issues:
It’s okay to find the shadows! Look for soft, diffused light to soften the face. If you really want that sunny glow, you can add in a sun glare during the editing process. How do we deal with INDOOR LIGHTING? I use a combination of two light sources for indoor photography: SOFTBOXES & NATURAL LIGHT.
Today's Challenge:Day 1: Christmas Tree Use what you learned about light and get a photo of a Christmas tree. Ideas: - Outdoor Christmas tree farm - Use window light to photograph your indoor tree - Photograph your kids by the tree and the window Just be creative and USE YOUR LIGHT! ![]() Remember to Post, Post, Post! @elegantexposureswithbrittany #EEChristmasChallenge #Day1 #ChristmasTree Everything is more fun with friends, so invite a friend to join in on our fun!
