- What is a RAW file? Why is it intimidating to some camera users? Maybe because they simply don't understand what the RAW format is or can do? A RAW file is an uncompressed, proprietary file. In other words, a file that captures all of the information your camera is personally capable of grabbing out[...]

- The What:
First, I feel like we need to discuss what is a mini session to appropriately set up expectations. A mini session is not simply a discounted photoshoot. Mini sessions provide a valuable resource for clients in a variety of ways (discussed in the next paragraph). Mini sessions are shorter [...]

- Perhaps the initial analysis is a tad melodramatic, however, I am enthralled with the prospective new step child in the media world. Photography is the mother, and cinema the proud papa, while all of the crusty soon-to-be ex-professionals sit on the sideline gawking and arguing about the legitimacy [...]

- "We would like a disc of images."

- I am commonly asked the question, "What is your photographic style?" While I am never offended by this question, it is hard to answer.
