Member Spotlight: Pamela Powell
Name: Pamela Powell Website: http://pamelapowellphotography.com Aledo, Texas Facebook: http://facebook.com/pampowellphoto ______________________________________________ We saw this image in the forum and loved it so much, we had to ask Pam a few questions! As we enter into this New Year, we encourage everyone to work with INTENTION...to live a life of INTENTION. ______________________________________________ Your vision of this image - was it preplanned - or on the spot - tell us: This image was envisioned on the spot. I wanted to create a timeless elegance image with mom and her two kids and wanted to do so with a great composition. I also wanted to do something that I hadn't done before. ...
NY Workshop Highlight: Newborns
We had an amazing time with 12 photographers in NYC. We are still pouring through the images, but in the meantime here are a few favs.
San Diego Workshop: September, 2011: Brina
We seem to really luck out when we have models for our workshops and Brina was no exception. She was so beautiful and graceful the students could not get enough! Even more adorable was her son Ryder and her helpful husband! Thanks Brina - here are some favs....
San Diego Workshop: September, 2011: Baby Naiyah
{Image above: Jen Kamka} Baby Naiyah is one of those babies that you can only dream about. She seriously was like an angel dropped from Heaven. I adore babies, and honestly they are all amazing. Naiyah smiled and smiled and smiled for the photographers, and she was so precious I just wanted to slip her in my bag and take her home! Of course then Mama Nicole would have missed her greatly. So instead I will just relish in her beauty. We asked Mama Nicole to post some thoughts from the workshop: "The newborn model workshop; what an amazing experience! Ten days after ...
Newborn Baby Pullbacks
I know we all love pullbacks! We also get a ton of questions on how to use our baby beanbags in sessions. So below are a few images from a recent newborn and some pullbacks as well. We use the baby beanbags to tuck here and there when posing a baby. We keep them in a basket close to us, and we just grab as we need. They really help baby cheeks from smushing into the pillow, and also support their backs when posing. NEWBORN is on Shoot Baby! beanbag. Love love that beanbag!
Michigan Workshop Model Highlight
We just wrapped up the Michigan workshop and our models were amazing. I will be posting images and comments from students when they send them...in the meantime here is a quick image highlight of our amazing models.

MEETUP REVIEW and Cheesecloth Babies
We loveee cheesecloth around here! And even more, we love babies in them. Add that and a girls night out and you have our first TAoPaN Meetup at our Studio this month. We talked pricing for two straight hours and for many it was a wake up call. Once we devoured the cheese platter we then decided to have some fun, release some stress and be creative! We dyed cheesecloth and made headbands. Stefanie did video for both and added the instructions for making hair fun and it is posted in our Members forum. I also decided to share the ...
Cheesecloth Wraps
I love love love cheesecloth - how can you not? There are so many different types of weaves and you can dye them in seconds, literally! Today I was exhausted from our great TAoPaN workshop and decided to get in the pool and relax. Not too long after my cheesecloth was beckoning to me from the windowsill! In less than 5 minutes, I dyed three pieces and went back poolside! MATERIALS: RIT DYE (I prefer the liquid bottle kind and I get it on Amazon.com) Cheesecloth (I buy in bulk from raglady.com - this was grade60 but I also love grade10) Glass bowl Sink nearby I ...
Mama Thredz
Our Mama Thredz line includes gowns for pregnant Mamas and are available in several styles, colors and sizes. Our gowns are all handmade in the U.S.A. We have our own seamstresses and gowns arrive weekly. Gowns generally take 1-2 weeks to ship, however; if you need them for an upcoming session or are in a hurry, rush service is available. The Average size gown covers a range of sizes and shapes and is the most standard size you should order. Due to the stretchiness of the fabric and the measurements, these gowns truly fit a variety of women and you ...

Our baby owls are so dreamy and sweet! You can choose just the hats or the set that includes the diaper cover. Owls come in pale blue, pale pink and warm brown. [wp_eStore_category_products:category_id:41:end] NEW NEW: We have added a baby gray owl to our collection.
Wow your clients
Post processing is all the rage these days...from popping catchlights in eyes to adjusting colors and tones...it all goes along with your style and what you want your images portrayed. When we are preparing our images for clients we do not retouch or "cleanup" each image. We have a few quick steps... Process in Lightroom - edit, crop and adjust tones as needed. Export then run sharpen batches in Photoshop. From there we will pick anywhere from 3-5 images that we are going to BLOG or FACEBOOK and we will make those images amazing. What happens then is we can explain to the ...
