Central Park, in the heart of New York City, is an iconic location for photos of all kinds! I’ve photographed weddings, engagement sessions and even family photos here. It is almost unbelievable that there is an 800 acre park in the concrete jungle of NYC but it is true! Central Park is really large and there is definitely strategy involved in getting the photos you have always dreamed of. From knowing the best time to shoot, to figuring out the best places to shoot and how to get to them you will definitely need a plan before you go. This blog post will help whether you are a photographer looking to schedule a shoot there for the first time, a mom looking to get some great photos of your family on your first trip to the big apple or even if you are a tourist or local looking for the best instagram spots in the park, I’ve got you covered there too!

Take Better Photos : Mastering Natural Light

Today we are talking about one of my favorite topics, shooting outside in natural light. When I was first learning photography, almost 9 years ago, now, I was so excited to learn how to get those glow-y outdoor photos. And honestly, I thought it would be pretty easy. I mean, shooting outside means there is plenty of light to leverage, so how hard can it be? Ha, little did I know that outdoor sessions can actually be more challenging than learning photography indoors where the light is constant. So, today we are going to talk about learning to shoot in natural light settings and the best time of day to take photos . I will teach you what types of lighting scenarios to avoid and I will be sharing tips about how to shoot outdoor portraits in times that are not ideal, like the middle of the day as well as in challenging lighting situations such as direct sunlight.

How to Use a Nikon Self Timer

I don’t know about you, but I have never been great at taking a selfie. Maybe my arms aren’t long enough. Or maybe I’m too picky about the crop and composition of my photos. Or maybe I just don’t like how I look in the self pose. Either way, I’ve been trying to create more content here at home and the selfies and mirror pics just weren’t cutting it.
