Have an Epiphanie! Camera bag, that is. Giveaway
June 20, 2014 by 68 Comments
Thanks to Epiphanie for inspiring this post and for protecting my camera in style.
I carry my camera almost everywhere I go. Capturing moments that will become memories is important to me, plus you never know when a perfect photo opportunity might arise. Do you know what I don’t love about being a shutterbug? Never having a pretty bag to protect my gear.
Now, I know that not having a bag for my camera is silly. Really there are thousands of camera bags on the market, but have you ever seen them? They are rather masculine. I searched for years to find one I could cope with…. for years I ended up with the traditional grey and black, giant camera bags. I’m sure you’ve all seen them in posts, really. But there’s a lot to be said about having a stylish bag- you can put your wallet, keys, and misc into one of the pockets and then you don’t need to drag your purse along as well. Plus you feel like a woman, which can’t be undersold.
When I heard about Epiphanie Bags I did a little happy dance. Finally a camera bag made for women. These bags are stylish, feminine, and they keep my camera gear safe on my adventures. Women of the world rejoice; we no longer have to settle for a drab bag for our cameras.

Newborn Photography Tips for Parents
May 4, 2014 by 2 Comments
There are few experiences in life that eclipse the miracle of birth, so it’s understandable that parents want to commemorate every moment. While some new moms are not very keen on the idea of having a video camera in the delivery room, capturing every second of the event, most parents agree that snapping pics after the fact is desirable. And if you’re like most parents, you’re going to take plenty of photos once you bring baby home. After all, you want to make sure you don’t miss a single first, and you’re likely keen to send pics to family and friends that are eager to get a gander at your newborn. But you don’t necessarily want to take a million pictures of a fussy infant; you want pictures that show what a perfect little angel your baby is. So here are just a few tips that can help to ensure you get the beautiful photos of your newborn that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
1. Pick your moments. If you want to get the best photos, you need to catch your baby in the right mood. And most infants are better behaved when they’re neither tired nor hungry. The obvious solution is to click away while your baby is sleeping, capturing adorable photos of your newborn in repose. But if you don’t want to rouse him, you really can’t move him around. And frankly, you

5 Ways for Moms to Prepare for Their Newborn Photography Session
January 30, 2014 by Leave a Comment
When you finally bring home baby, you’re bound to spend every waking moment marveling at the beauty
of your brand new family member…or wondering why the heck he’s crying. The part you’ll want to
remember, though, is how he looked in his infancy, which is why memorializing your newborn’s first days
of life with a professional photography session is probably a good idea. You’ll certainly take plenty of pics
on your own, but a pro can lend you the knowledge, skill, and experience that make for truly exceptional
photos that you and your family will cherish forever. But before you show up at the studio, there are
a few things you’ll want to do in preparation to ensure that your photographer has the best chance to
elicit smiles and take some fantastic photos. Here are some guidelines to follow when you’re getting your
newborn ready for his photo session.
1. Choose outfits. You don’t want to show up to the session with nothing more than the onesie your
baby happens to be wearing. You should bring several wardrobe changes including everyday
outfits, special garments (such as a Christening gown, for example), fancy clothes, and perhaps
even costumes, depending on what you’re going for. And don’t forget to bring several color
options. You’ll have to pick backgrounds when you’re at the studio, and having different outfits to
choose from can ensure that you get the effect you want, whether it’s high contrast or something
