For weddings what batteries do you use for your flashes to keep them working consistently when you want and right through the wedding day....? :)

One of the absolute joys of being a photographer, for me, is working with brand new little families with new little babies. It's so fun to see new parents in action, with the excitement of this tiny person that has just joined in on the world!
I LOVED crew's nursery!
Introducing baby Crew!

Noelle Houdek said:
Ok Amelia... you say that none of the blur in your photographs is done post processing (I was actually really happy to learn that because I was getting worried I might have to re-evaluate my zero tolerance blur tool policy) but can you PLEASE tell me how you got the focus on the black and white picture of little crew's foot. The only thing I can think of is lens baby?
(02.16.11 11:04 AM)
amelialyon said:
Hey Noelle,
Thanks for the comment! Actually, I shot that either with my 50mm or my 35mm at a super low aperture, so most likely it was shot at a 1.4 aperture. Hope that helps! I don't like to use the lensbaby for newborn shoots.:)

It's always fun to photograph family! Especially my beautiful sister Nicole DeAnne with her beautiful little growing family!
Lucille has THE BEST baby smile, super contagious! It's crazy to think about when she was just a newborn baby and now she's 9 months old!



My favorite shot of the day...that belly laugh of Lucy just kills me! I could almost hear it when I look at this photo!
