Photogenic

Chances are you think you're really not photogenic. I don't and I'm a photographer. I prefer to be behind the camera.

The truth is being photogenic is all about confidence. Being relaxed in front of the camera is vital to making good photos. As photographer my job is to get people into that relaxed state and I'm pretty good at it. But sometimes you shoot a person who is just natrually relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Such was the case with Joe who I shot for his senior pictures on Friday. Check the natrual poses we were able to capture. Cool kid.

No Boring, Over Priced Prom Pics

Kaitlyn and her mom didn't want to settle for boring overpriced prom pictures. You know the ones their taken between two white columns with the prom theme in the background. If I really wanted to entertain you in this blog I'd post my prom pics mullet and all. But I digress. So when Kaitlyn's mom contacted me I knew exactly the generic photography she wanted to avoid. She wanted something she could look back on in 20 years and be proud of. No columns no cheesy theme just a pretty girl in a beautiful dress. With Kaitlyn's pictures I was trying to portray the classic glamour shots of Hollywood. Later we did a few outside that were nore casual. Take a look and see if you think we acheived our goal.

Life Happening: Easter

One of the greatest things about being a photographer is that daily you get to see life happen. I've been to countless wedding's, seen numerous seniors ready to enter the world and taken pics of more newborns that I can remember. This Easter Sunday was no different. I was fortunate enough to take nearly 100 kids pics at church with my live bunnies Max and Ruby. Honestly, I was a little apprehensive at first to tackle such a big undertaking. My fears were assuaged when the first kids came in and smiled from ear to ear holding the bunnies. I hope everybody had as good as time as I had. Hopefully Max and Ruby will be back next year. Until then enjoy the pics I've attached to this blog. Or log on to see them all at http://www.hampshirephotographyweb.com/ event code mauryhills.
