The art of professional photography and tips to help you get the most out of your time with Abby Sullivan Photography

2010-04-06T16:00:00.000-04:00

Mother's Day is coming! Share an experience with your Mom!

Abby Sullivan Photography makes professional portraits every day, and we realize you don't experience this as often as we do. Many people feel awkward in front of a camera. We want you to relax, feel comfortable, so your real expressions can be captured. We want you to have a fun, photographic experience.

Each session usually takes about an hour, The sessions are fun for

parents and children and are never rushed, some may take a few extra minutes and

some may take less. Within 7-10 days of the session, we will meet for your follow-up

appointment where you choose your photographs, and within 4 weeks they will be

hand-delivered to you.

TEN TIPS TO HAVING A GREAT SESSION

1) Be on time--10 minutes early is optimal. It is a priority that nobody

feels rushed during the session.

2) Have freshly cleaned faces for young children :-) and teeth brushed for shiny teeth!

Pets should be groomed.

3) Solid colors and long sleeves typically work best for the session. Questions about clothing choices, can be discussed with the photographer during your pre-consultation.

4) Be sure the children are wearing something you really like because these

photographs are meant to capture a memories that will last a lifetime. Also children should be comfortable in their clothing, so we can capture their true personality.

5) Have the children well-fed before the session.

6) There is no need to practice saying “cheese” before the session because this

doesn’t provide the natural look that we are aiming to capture.

7) Encourage your children to follow the photographer's leads during the

session. This will allow the session to run smoothly be more fun for them.

8) Walk your pets before they come into the studio.

9) Allow the photographer to direct the children during the session. If your

assistance is needed, the photographer will let you know.

10) If your session is in the afternoon, a little nap after lunch can go a long way with little ones (and big ones)!

Sounds small, but it will make a big difference!

*Get excited for your session! Positive attitudes do wonders. We promise

it will be reflected in the end result!

Last weeks Professional Photographers of Massachusetts annual convention took place in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Among my entries were pet portraits, babies, and senior portraits. The prints are viewed by a panel of 5 judges who critique the photographs checking technical skills, composition, and presentation to name a few. Many photographers enter the competition to challenge their technical skills and earn a Masters in photography by getting ribbons. Another important piece is on the title chosen. Below are my ribbon winners.

Tips on Caring for Canvas Prints

2009-11-18T13:19:00.007-05:00

Lots of people are purchasing canvas prints and gallery wraps (which by the way do not have to be framed). Here are some Tips to Care for your Canvas:

Prints can be wiped with a slightly damp, clean, chemical-free cloth.

For optimum longevity, keep out of direct sunlight. Don’t place stretched prints too close to direct heat or high variations in cold/warm.

Canvas can be tightened if it becomes loose. You can purchase canvas retentioner at any craft store or on the internet. It can be sprayed on the BACK of the canvas and let dry overnight or for a few hours.

Touch up – You can touch up small spots in the canvas with thin-tipped markers if your canvas gets scratched or damaged. Be very careful when touching up specks. Artists can also use paint to touch up small blemishes if needed.
