Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family; parenting, recipes, entertainment, photography tips, and family-friendly products.
My husband is guest posting today with a few tips from his area of expertise – video! When you think of home movies, do the terms “well framed,” “good content,” “excellent lighting” and “superb cinematography” come to your mind? No? Then you must be doing something wrong. Not really. In my opinion, there is nothing [...]
We are a community that is constantly connected and on-the-go. I admit – I’ve got my smart phone and iPad with me just about all the time. But that doesn’t mean that connecting with my family is not important to me. In fact, I have been drawn to creating and preserving memories through taking and [...]
In the last 17 1/2 years since I got married and had kids, I’ve gathered up quite an extensive collection of home movies. I started out using one of those enormous camcorders recording on VHS, then moved to a smaller camcorder using smaller tapes. Eventually, we bought a video recorder that used mini DVDs, and [...]
I started a tradition when CandyMan and I were newly married. I bought a cheap, large frame with a collage matte and filled it with pictures from our first year together. That collage was a visual, daily reminder of all of the amazing things that we had done together during our first year of marriage. [...]
As a California native, dealing with cold temperatures and snow on the ground was not something that came naturally for me, camera in hand or otherwise. But now, as a mom and photographer living on the East Coast where we have very distinct and sometimes severe weather, I’ve needed to learn a few things about [...]
Christmas is approaching faster than I would like to admit. I’ve done a fair amount of shopping but I’m FAR from being finished. I don’t know where the month has gone! I was thinking about my mom all last week as I lay in my sick bed for days (isn’t it funny how we still [...]
I have many fond memories of holiday seasons form my childhood, though most holidays are blurred into one collective memory of late nights at Grandma’s house with cousins, music, and an abundance of good food. This is my mom’s family Christmas card, circa 1959. I love it! I remember sitting around the piano singing [...]
Home again! Home Again! I don’t know if I’m quite ready for a jiggety-jig….but I’m happy to be back in my own bed! Our week in Kissimmee has finally come to a close, and I’m ready to buckle down and get back to work in the morning. Although I am always sad to see a [...]
I’ve always been a cautious driver. I’ve never had a ticket, and have never been pulled over for speeding. So I guess it shouldn’t surprise anyone that I was not exactly a pro at the Malibu Grand Prix when I was out in San Jose with YesVideo last month. Honestly, I was excited to let [...]
YesVideo is hosting another twitter party this week, and I hope you will be able to make it! Father’s Day is just around the corner, and so what better theme than Dads? As always, the conversation will be enjoyable, but the prizes will be even better (what could be better than winning Dad a Father’s [...]
