Reflections, Repetition and Rest
Reflections are a great tool in a photographer's bag. I use them in wedding photography to capture the bride getting ready while the groom patiently waits in the mirror. The reflection off a window offers a subtle perspective of what children peering out are curiously observing. And here, two well placed reflections against the piano (though difficult to see on a blog size photo) provide additional profiles of Aidan studying his music. Personally speaking, I also find my own reflection humbling and a good reminder of why I'm a photographer and not a model.
Reflections are key not just for the photo being taken, but also with light sources. My soft box is pretty much right on top of the camera, pointing down to bounce light off the white keys and back up to hide Zoe's double chin :) In all seriousness though, it takes the edge off of the shadows because well, what hard working parent doesn't have a few bags under their eyes.
Like learning the piano, photographing your kids takes practice for you and them. My recommendation is to crack out the camera once a week for a few minutes. Kids grow up so fast so there's always something new to capture. At the same time, give it a rest. Photographing children much more frequently will eventually lead them to hide your equipment (which of course is why I always carry a spare).
Baby Photography Tips: The key light has a 1/4 CTO to warm things up. A 4-star Lee Filter provides the starburst effect on my other speedlite for a bit of the concert look. My wife provides the very important source of giggles for Zoe which really makes the photo.

Singing to a Different Tune and a Promotion
Parents skip to the bottom, photographers and people looking to license music read on.
- Go to ASCAP, BMI or SESAC (great acronyms huh?) to find your favorite artist. Most artists work with one of these organizations and each has different terms and fees for licensing their associated music.
- It costs about $300 to license the music for commercial use (i.e. you'll financially profit from the use of the music either directly by including it in paid product, like slideshows, or via marketing, like a website).
- If you happen to like Moby (and I do), he actually set up MobyGratis.com to facilitate the use of his music in non-commerical works. When I approached him about using his work for my website, he agreed in exchange for a reasonable fee that'd be donated to charity. Very awesome.
- Finally, TripleScoopMusic has been a great resource for the music I use in client slideshows and is more reasonable at $60, if you can find what you're looking for.
After this hassle, I'm glad that I give my clients copyrights to their photos so they can choose to make prints themselves. This saves them the hassle of getting my permission, provides them real value and keeps me accountable to provide enlargement that are better than the local labs so they buy from me. Okay, now that I've got that self-serving marketing blurb out of the way...
I'm offering a discounted two hour photos shoot ($390) with all the usual bells and whistles (consultation, lighting, 4"x6" prints to keep, online gallery, loads of fun and of course high resolution downloads/copyrights). Fine Print: The only catch is that there are specific photos I need for my website and the shoot must be in January or February before the photography season picks up. If you're interested leave a comment or contact me at Phat Baby Photography. Anyone who follows me knows I don't offer promotions to avoid the sinking feeling of buying something only to find it on sale the week later. So act now, operators are standing by.
Update: Thank you for the many inquiries and bookings. I'm now booked through February, but given the response will see if there are other ways to accommodate those who want to help me with my creative projects.

How Much Formula, Really?
I ran in to a new mom the other day who was a little baffled about how many ounces of formula and how often she should be giving it to...
The Best Free Gifts for the Photographer in Your Life
It's that time of year, endless promotions, endless lines and endless line items on the credit card statement. With the constant reminders to consume, it's easy to lose sight of the reason for the season. Buying gifts for a photographer can be a blessing or a curse. Many photographers, like myself, have very specific demands of our equipment and with all the random professional photographers and companies hocking their wares, it's easy to buy something pretty useless (and expensive) for us. I'll refrain from naming specifics since one man's garbage is another one's treasure. The blessing is that our very craft lends itself to some simple, inexpensive but valuable gifts:
- Provide the photographer in your life an hour of your time to model. We have tons of projects in our heads but between watching kids and paying the bills, it can be difficult to find creative time.
- Watch the kids for an hour so they can go out and photograph the sunset, the sunrise or the diaper pale (hey one man's trash is another man's "art"). This is one can either be called a gift or a sacrifice depending on your perspective.
- Shoot your photographer. Um, let me clarify that. Don't kill them, just take some pictures of them. Funny thing about photographers is we hardly have any photos of ourselves and they actually can be quite handy should we ever forget what we look like.
Baby Photography Tip: I've found myself horsing around a lot with Photoshop recently as part of a concerted effort to understand all the ins and outs of this most obtuse software package. While capturing memories on my camera is the utmost priority, the fact is that Photoshop, done well, makes for really dramatic images. It is also a lot like raising children where the basics of eating, feeding and sleeping are well understood but peel back the onion and you want to cry. Nonetheless, there are a bunch of actions and effects I'm standardizing on as part of a makeover going into the new year of which this photo demonstrates an extensive use of layers, curves and automation via actions/scripts. Believe it or not, I used to write software so it's fun to tinker with the latter and it helps keep labor costs and therefore prices reasonable for my clients.

Reflections, Repetition and Rest
Reflections are a great tool in a photographer's bag. I use them in wedding photography to capture the bride getting ready while the groom patiently waits in the mirror. The reflection off a window offers a subtle perspective of what children peering out are curiously observing. And here, two well placed reflections against the piano (though difficult to see on a blog size photo) provide additional profiles of Aidan studying his music. Personally speaking, I also find my own reflection humbling and a good reminder of why I'm a photographer and not a model.
Reflections are key not just for the photo being taken, but also with light sources. My soft box is pretty much right on top of the camera, pointing down to bounce light off the white keys and back up to hide Zoe's double chin :) In all seriousness though, it takes the edge off of the shadows because well, what hard working parent doesn't have a few bags under their eyes.
Like learning the piano, photographing your kids takes practice for you and them. My recommendation is to crack out the camera once a week for a few minutes. Kids grow up so fast so there's always something new to capture. At the same time, give it a rest. Photographing children much more frequently will eventually lead them to hide your equipment (which of course is why I always carry a spare).
