Erin and I just wrapped up an incredible week in New Orleans for Pictage’s Partner Conference and we had so many great conversations with photographers from all over the country, and I was surprised by the number of photographers who had questions about how to find their style. In reality though, its no surprise at all– we are all so busy with our lives and reading about the next gadget or the new camera that we don’t take time to think about the core of who we are as artists – our style & artistic vision. Our clients appreciate consistency…

Now that we’ve done a handful of our FAQ Friday posts, the questions from you guys are starting to really pour in! So I’m going to use today’s FAQ installment to answer a bunch of the questions that are definitely worthy of talking about, but don’t require a full FAQ post. As always, if you have any questions you’d like us to answer on future FAQ posts, post them up in the comments! If you only could use one lens for an entire wedding which would you choose? And do you guys shoot wide open? The light is always so…
Updated August 9, 2010 to include the latest additions to our backup schematic. We frequently get asked how we go about backing up our images, and I’ve been really surprised by all the photographers I’ve come across that have some pretty wacky backup schematics in place that are not only time consuming but can be frustrating and complicated if something goes wrong. So today I’m going to talk about how we backup our images and our system, and hopefully this will be helpful for those that either don’t have a backup system or have one that is causing more pain…
During our last FAQ Friday, I (Jeff) talked about how we made our blog using WordPress, and I mentioned that this time we’d be talking about how we actually prepare our images that go on our daily blog posts. This is something that we get asked about frequently, and I’m surprised how many photographers I’ve spoken with that have a hard time getting images on their blogs in an easy and efficient fashion. Instead of writing the process out step by step, I figured that a screen cast of what we do would be much more helpful! This is my…
It’s no secret that Erin and I love our blog. Our blog is much more to us than simply a glimpse into the recent weddings and engagements that we’ve photographed – it’s also a journal of our lives, both photographically and personally. We’ve really enjoyed sharing our journey with all of you over the past few years, and we look forward to sharing more in the future. For those of you just starting out, I can’t emphasize enough the value of having a blog. Seriously. If you’re debating between a blog and a website, I say blog it up! Not…
One of the questions we get asked most often is about the gear we have in our bag – what lenses we love and why. So hopefully this will be a great start to the FAQ posts. As always, if you have any questions about this topic, or other topics, just ask it in the comments and we’ll answer it in a future FAQ Friday post! Before we get started, I want to mention that the lenses we have are the best lenses for us – and your usage may vary. It’s important to have purpose behind each and every…
Erin and I love to share, and we consider ourselves to be total open books when it comes to photography. We definitely remember what it was like when we were first starting out: the questions, the uncertainty, the search for some semblance of help in a world that was growing noisier and noisier and more confusing and complicated every day. It was kind of overwhelming, and my guess is that many of you have found yourselves in the same exact spot that we were in. We’ve always done our best to respond to the e-mails and Facebook messages that people have…
