You know, I’ve been thinking. You and I should get to know each other better.

Blossom Branch Floral Arrangements
Having photographed weddings in NYC for several years, I’ve seen floral trends come and go. I have developed a bit of a passion for flowers, taken a workshop with Olivier Guigni, and frequently harassed my florist friends for tips and ideas while in their shops as a patron.

The Cleveland International Film Festival has quickly become a yearly tradition for me, every April since returning to CLE. Okay, so I’ve been to 2 so far. But I haven’t missed one yet!

Q&A: Different Light for Scenery and People
This week’s question comes from my dad! I gave him a lesson in person, and have written it up for all of you.

A: You will want to use the light very differently for people and scenery. For people, you want to downplay any fine lines and flaws, and for scenery, enhancing the details looks best.

Week in Photos
Howdy, blog friends! How has your week been?
Mine was chock full of excitement, starting with the wedding of my dear friends Tony and Andrea in Pittsburgh over the weekend, followed by me relocating to the countryside for part of the summer. The weather has been glorious in Pennsylvania and Ohio, so it was definitely a photo-worthy week.

This week’s question is from my dear friend Kaytee.
Q: How do I keep the camera steady for the panoramic setting? Where should I train my eye when trying to keep the arrow straight? -Kaytee M., New York, NY
A: I’m the first to admit, I don’t know everything. When Kaytee first asked me this question, I didn’t realize she was talking about a function right inside the iPhone camera! Lo and behold, it’s not a separate app; it’s something that takes advantage of your camera’s full recording capabilities. And, I spent the weekend figuring it out so I can answer Kaytee’s question for you.
