March 10th—-Preparing for Holiday Photo Shoots. I know. I know. Some of you haven’t even looked through the photos you shot at Christmas, and Easter is right around the corner.

March 11th—-Camera Features That Make Capturing Smiles Easier. If you struggle to get camera shy subjects to smile then you might consider investing in one of the cameras I featured in this blog.

This blog details the important role eyes play in a portrait shot.
