New Borns | Jessica Lloyd Photography

So, I'm not very experienced at new born photography.  I've heard other photogs say that you really need to get their pics done in the first 10 - 14 days or you loose that new born "curl" that they have.  Wasn't sure what they were talking about...I learned yesterday.  The baby I photographed in November was about 12 days old, the one I did yesterday was almost 3 weeks.  It was gone.  Sad.  Got some cute pics of him, but not the kind I really wanted to do.  I'll have them edited soon, but I need to get approval from mom before I get to share them with you.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow.  We have a family Christmas Party tomorrow at my house.  I'm hosting, but I'm not in charge, so I'm gonna use all those tips I posted for you earlier and see if I can remember them all and get some better Christmas pics this year.

Are you ready for Christmas yet? | Jessica Lloyd Photography | free session

Are you ready for Christmas yet?  I'm not.  I'm still working on my crazy, huge Mom's presents.  But the kids are done (besides the candy from Santa, if I buy that now, I'll be too tempted to eat it for them), my hubby is done, all the other relative are done, the angel tree gift just needs to be delivered.  I'm getting there.

I had quite a few facebook posts from people that are interested in helping me learn how to use my Christmas presents.  I'm offering a free session and one 8x10 for anyone willing to go out and play in the cold with me after Christmas.  If you are interested, email me at jessicatlloyd@gmail.com.  Tell me who you are, who I will be photographing, your phone number, best time to call, and when you are available after Christmas.

My Birthday | Jessica Lloyd Photography | Magna Utah

 I just recently had a birthday.  As is typical for a birthday, I got out the camera, but since I can't take my own birthday pictures I offered it up to the family.  My eleven year old stepped in as family photographer for me.

 I love how she filled the frame with the bag...Great example of getting the details of an event!

 Money!  I got enough money that I'll probably be able to get a graphics tablet!!  Tough part is picking one!

That shiny blob is an earring.  I lost my favorite pair of earrings, so my mom bought me a pair that was very similar.  Guess what? Two days later I found the lost pair!  LOL!  Isn't that just how life is?

The settings I use on my camera for my super shaky daughter are usually geared toward higher shutter speeds than what you'd usually use.  She set it this time.  She used the portrait mode (low shutter speed, big aperture) and the flash compensated for her shake.  I have a Gary Fong diffuser on my pop up flash.

Oh, oh, oh, my Christmas present from my mom came yesterday!  I'm getting a 5 in one reflector, 42 inch and an arm to attach it to my light stands!!  Woohoo!  Too bad I have to wait until Christmas to use it.  My mom hates shopping on the internet, but usually that's where you can get the best deals on photography supplies, so I ordered it for her and had it shipped here, so that I could make sure what came was what was right (and so I could check it out :-D).  She's coming to get it and wrap it. Can't wait to try it out!  Anyone want to schedule a session?  I have no idea how to really use the beast and I'm gonna need practice.
