As family photographers, with a portrait studio located near Fairfax in Northern VA, we know how busy it is when it’s back-to-school time!
It seems like summer just arrived and here we are in the blink of an eye in the middle of August. For most children the start of school is just around the corner. Now is the time to buy supplies and clothing to prepare for the big day!!! Don’t forget to get that camera out to snap some photos to document the first day of school!
Help Your Child Prepare For Back to School by Wed MD provides great tips to start this process.
1. Re-Establish School Routines
During the summer your child may be sleeping in and not having a regular routine. It is a good idea to start having your child get up and dressed the same time each morning. Coordinate meals with the times your child will be eating when school is back in session.
Also create some morning activities outside of your home so your child will leave your home at the same time he leaves for school. This will help alleviate a mad rush when school starts.
2. Nurture Independence
Have a chat with your child now about being independent and taking on responsibilities. Being able to do things for himself builds confidence and will make it easier for the transition.
Some tasks include organizing school supplies, making sure that he has assignments written down or a younger child can practice writing his name or tying his own shoes says says Nicole Pfleger, school counselor at Nickajack Elementary School in Smyrna, GA. (more…)
As family photographers with a portrait studio located near Vienna in Northern VA, we know how very much a family photo means to you! We thought you would enjoy a little info regarding what photographers consider the golden hour for photography.
You might have heard the term “golden hour” before in the photography world, but maybe not have totally understood it. The golden hour is the hour after sunrise, and hour before sunset every day. During both of these periods of time, the sun is in prime position for taking pictures. The light is lower and softer, which makes less harsh shadows on the subject, and more even lighting.
It is also a great time to use the light in other creative ways. One of which is backlighting; when the sun is behind the subject but the subject is still exposed well enough to see them. Another is silhouettes which is basically the same setup as backlighting, but the shot is underexposed so the subject is dark, creating an outline or “silhouette.” Even shooting your subject with the light hitting them on their face will be so much better during this time of day.
There are many other ways to shoot creatively in the golden hour light, and fully take advantage of the most beautiful lighting every day. Try it for yourself and watch how the “golden hour” makes the most of your images!
