Asha’s Christmas party
Christmas is the time all families gather with loved ones. I personally love this time of year the most! with all the charm that comes with it, the sparkles, the love that we show each other whether by exchanging thoughtful gifts or cards, it all has a special taste like no other season.
I was blessed to capture one of those gatherings and witness the love, laughter, and beautiful memories.
Here I share the photos with you, hoping that it’ll put a smile on your face as well
Digital Backdrop
the Digital Backdrop trend
As many of you have seen lately, the digital backdrops are a trend that nowadays photographers are approaching. What are the pros and cons from a customer’s and a photographer’s point of view?
As a photographer, I do get requests to do specific composites sometimes. Whether it is something that they saw on my page or somewhere else on the internet. Although it is not that often that my clients like those photos for an obvious reason. I have a simple style that focuses on the individual more than the props, when clients see my portfolio they tend to book with me for how my photos are, not for any other reason such as price, location, etc. So when I get asked to do composites, I always welcome the requests because it is their desire, their own photo and my job is to deliver what they like.
Here is an example of a composite that goes with my style
Making your own DIY background
Backdrops and floordrops can be one of the most expensive props that a photographer would buy on regular basis. However, we don’t always have to spend a fortune on it.
With this tutorial I’m going to show you how I created 2 sets for less than 90CAD.
What you need:
A masonite board. I bought 4′ X 8′ and cut it into 2 so I have 2 square pieces on 4X4′ can be found at your local hardware store like Homedepot or Lowes.
A wood pattern wallpaper, I use this Nuwallpaper from amazon on this link
and another one for the other side which I bought locally in store.
The process
I simply lined the 2 board pieces beside each other and sticked the wallpaper on them. This ensures the continuity of the pattern in case you need to use it as a big floor drop so you just place them beside each other.
I cut the vinyl between the 2 pieces and then flipped the board and applied the second pattern same way.

Family session Guide
Family session Guide
Family photoshoots are so exciting! However, it often comes with the hassle of arranging outfits. Clients are not expected to be fashion experts when they book a family session, and neither am I! When I’m asked how to prepare for a family session and what to wear, I always say there’s no right and wrong. There are no perfect colors and outfits, but there is good planning. Therefore, I put together this short guide hoping to help you get ready in a relaxed way.
Plan your outfit in advance: It’s a good idea to have your outfits planned for your photoshoot day as you want to be in the most relaxed mood for the best photos.
Coordinate colors: Don’t choose matching outfits for the whole family, but coordinate them. By selecting a color scheme and using hues that complement each other, you can achieve a more natural look across the board. Pick two main colors and then add softer tones to accent and complete your color scheme.
Consider the season: place and time of the year can guide you to the best colors. In summer, it’s best to use, light blue, pastels, white and softer colors. In fall, vibrant colors work great like purple, vivid blue, orange, yellow. Add to these a base color and some neutrals.
Add accessories: Throw in a scarf, a cardigan, or even a necklace to add your color to one of the outfits, it adds textures and gives your photos more dimension. They also tie the outfits together. For example, if Dad is wearing a red and black plaid coat then adding a plaid hat to your daughter’s outfit will tie the pattern in for a more cohesive feel.
Consider your home style: Keep in mind that your photos are most likely to be hanging around your house for a long time. To be beautifully displayed, they must go with your home color scheme and style. So choose something that doesn’t look odd on your walls.
Keep it timeless: Trends are great, for a specific short time only. You want your photos to be beautiful for the longest time possible so keep it classic.
Choose practical: We all have seen the wedding photos under the rain, or maternity in the snow, but with kids it all changes. If it’s cold, you need them to be enough warm to be comfortable staying outside for at least 30 min. If it’s hot, don’t make them wear ties just to look cute. We want them to look Happy!
Avoid Logos and patterns: Block colors are the best for photos. Big logos and busy patterns are a distraction. We want your family to be the main focus of the photos. It also make it hard to accommodate some edit requests.
How to act: Just be yourself! We will guide you throughout the session without making you feel like acting. Some posing is necessary but it is important to capture who your family is. So we’ll take candid shots and poses.
Photos with kids: It is a good idea to bribe the kids with a treat after the session. You do NOT have to tell them to look at the camera, or pointing at it, neither telling them to say cheese. Just make sure their outfits are clean, their nails are trimmed and hair brushed. All the rest, we’ll take care of it.
