Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, shares ideas for newborn photos

If there's a newborn in your life right now who seems to be changing before your very eyes, Prescott’s family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, suggests these ideas for perfectly capturing your baby's precious first weeks.

Studio vs Home
Studio sessions are usually done when your baby is only a few weeks old and is very sleepy and very 'mold-able'. Studio sessions focus on shots of your baby looking perfect and beautifully posed in wraps, blankets, headbands and hats.

Sessions that take place at home take a little more casual approach to your infant's photography. While some posing takes place, the greater focus is on capturing more natural shots of your baby and the home.

Shoot in the moment
Capturing your baby's moves, stretches and yawns can be some of the sweetest moments to treasure. Regardless of where the sessions takes place, don't worry about getting endless perfect poses. If you're posing your baby, one thing to keep in mind is to notice their hands. If they're making little fists try to open up their fingers. Sometimes it's a bit of an effort but you'll achieve a more peaceful look with relaxed hands.

Don't forget mom
Moms love their newborn so much that there will be countless photos of the baby sleeping, waking, bathing, snuggling and so on. With cell phones there are sure to be thousands, literally, of photos by the time of baby's first birthday. But, sadly, so few with mommy in them. While cell photos are great there is absolutely no comparison to professional photos. Moms, please make sure you are in some of the pictures. You will treasure these photos forever.

Be patient
Your baby is the boss regardless of where or when the session takes place. If your baby isn't going to fall asleep or stay in one position just keep shooting. Things don't always go as planned but sometimes the very best photos come from those unpredictable, unplanned moments.

There's no time like the present to capture your newborn's earliest moments. Don’t take the chance on capturing this special time that only happens once. Call Aris Affairs Photography today at 928-642-4049 to schedule your session or for more information visit us at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography, your Prescott wedding photographer, talks about winter wedding benefits

Are you reluctant to add yet another wedding to your friends and family's hectic summer schedule? Aris Affairs Photography, your Prescott wedding photographer, recognizes that there are great benefits that come with winter weddings.

Summer is a great time for vacations and traveling, but summer time is not always the best time to schedule a wedding. Here are some reasons that may “warm you up” to the idea of a winter wedding:

• More venue dates open and better rates. Most locations and vendors book up quickly during the summer months at a higher rate. The same locations and vendors are available for a lower price during the colder months.
• Less stress. Winter weddings are often less stressful since they typically take place inside. The risk of rain and wind can make a summer wedding stressful and quite costly. You may need to add a tent. Guests are exposed to heat and cold in outdoor weddings and they can be very uncomfortable.
• Low humidity. Since we have just considered weather conditions, one of the best winter wedding perks is the lack of humidity during the winter in an indoor setting.
• Less expensive travel and accommodations. Travel and hotel stays are at peak pricing in the summer. Summer time is the time when school is out and families take their vacations. Travel and accommodation costs are significantly reduced during the winter months.

You may want to consider some of the benefits of a winter wedding that have been discussed by Aris Affairs Photography. For professional photography for your Prescott wedding, trust Aris Affairs Photography to produce lively photographs to record the memories of your wonderful day.

Aris Affairs Photography discusses professional photographic images for your Prescott business website

No matter who your customer is or what type of business you have, high quality graphics for your website are a must. Aris Affairs Photography has some recommendations that will enhance your Prescott small business website.

All images are not free. 
Images on the internet are usually owned by the websites that posted them. If you’re looking for an image on Google Images, you need to be sure that the images are public domain. You can do an advanced search on Google and filter the search by usage rights. Even still, Google notes that image licenses can’t be guaranteed, which is a good reason to look for alternative sources.

Purchasing images.
If you decide to purchase stock images, make sure you focus on your business branding and your customers so that your images have the greatest impact on your targeted audience.

Once you've found the best images for your targeted audience, remember that the larger the picture the more expensive the price. For print media, such as brochures, business cards or flyers, at least 300 dpi is recommended. For web use, a smaller and more affordable image will work. The size of the photo should correlate to your purpose. If you're using the same image for both web and print, choose the higher resolution images since they can be easily reduced for your needs.

Here are some things to consider when taking photos:

• Headshots should include appropriate clothing and accessories   
• Use sufficient lighting and have the lighting source above the subject or to the side but never behind   
• Don't use a camera flash if the object might reflect it
• Don't use a camera flash on a person   
• Use a solid-colored background that contrasts the subject of your photo
• Consider using a professional light box kit that will show off your products with the optimum background and lighting   
• Try to use a consistent orientation - either landscape or portrait
• Finish your photos using a quality photo editor to make the best of your pics

For professional images for your Prescott business website, trust Aris Affairs Photography to produce the high quality photographs that will set your business apart. Call for an appointment today at 928-642-4049. Learn more at http://www.arisaffairs.com.

Aris Affairs Photography, your family photographer in Prescott, offers tips on photographing people and their pets

Pets are members of the family! So when we think of a family photo, we don’t want to leave out our four-legged family members. Aris Affairs Photography, your family photographer in Prescott, offers tips on photographing people and their pets.

Yes, our pets are family members, but they just seem to refuse to sit still for a photo session. They turn into a blur on camera. Here are some tips on getting great pictures of people with their pets:

The photographer should know the pet. When taking a portrait of you with your pet, knowing your subject goes a long way.

• What might make the pet sit still? 
• How can you get the pet to look into the camera?
• What unique personality traits might you be able to capture on camera? 
• Would you like to capture a mischievous moment or a more obedient image of the pet? 

If you are having a professional photographer take a portrait of your pet, talk with the photographer ahead of time to convey an understanding of the pet’s temperament and plan accordingly.
Use treats and toys. The trickiest most difficult part of animal photography may be that pets don’t understand posing instructions like other subject matter. Tasty treats and a few favorite toys can go a long way in getting pets to remain still or look in a certain direction. Even untrained pets will often turn their heads towards the smell of that special treat! And, realize that pets do not need to be perfectly still for a professional photographer to capture great photos!

Shoot from their eye level, not your own.
Pet portraits are all about the eyes. Usually, planning the shoot to get down on the animal’s eye level will create more personal pet pictures.  This will bring out the unique personality of your pet and draw out a more intimate perspective. If you shoot from your own eye level, the pet will look smaller and it will be harder to get your pet’s eyes into the shot.

Aris Affairs Photography, your family photographer in Prescott, can help you capture great photographs of people and their pets. To schedule a photo shoot with your pet, book an appointment today by calling us at 928-642-4049. Visit http://www.arisaffairs.com to view our galleries and get more information.

Aris Affairs Photography suggests what to wear for your family photo shoot in Prescott

No matter what season it is in Prescott, if you're gathering your family together for a photo shoot, Aris Affairs Photography has some great ideas for how to dress.

Focus, excuse the pun, on one person. The patriarch? The matriarch? The new baby? Pick out the colors for one, then you can begin to match everyone else in the picture.

Did we say 'match'? We mean complement, go together, fit in. We don't mean identical! Now that the fall is here, complement each other's outfits by dressing in warm, rich, saturated greens, browns and oranges. If you're looking to complement each other's winter look, dress in varying shades of whites, beiges, grays and light blues or taupes for a striking look.

One great way to dress up neutral colors is with accessories. Belts, jewelry, pashminas, scarves, and ties can take your outfits from average to amazing. For our Prescott cowboys think Bolo ties!

There's no reason to pack a bag. One outfit that you're happy with is fine. Changing from one outfit to another is time consuming and usually not fun... especially for the men. The only exception is for infants or your littlest toddlers. Sometimes accidents happen.

Of course if your photo shoot takes place outdoors, dress for the season and dress for comfort. Dressing for a fall or winter shoot in Prescott could include stylish coats, gloves, hats and boots.

And last but not least here are a few things to avoid:

• Trends - Nothing will date your photos faster.
• Neon colors - They cause skin tone/color cast issues.
• Sunglasses - People want to look into your eyes. Yes, they do.
• Avoid stark white
• Avoid words on your clothes - People will be reading you instead of seeing you.
• Gym shoes - Just don't.

If these suggestions are stirring you to schedule a family photo shoot, you can book an appointment today by calling your Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, at 928-642-4049. Visit us at http://www.arisaffairs.com to view our galleries and get more information.

Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, suggests photos you should take before your kids grow up

Our kids grow up so quickly! It is important that you enjoy them as much as you can during their younger years. Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, suggests some of the photos you should take before your kids grow up that will forever be cherished. Here are some of the most essential moments to capture:

• The simple things they love. For children, everything is new and everything is adventure. Kids often find fun in even the simplest things. From blowing bubbles in the summer breeze to catching lizards, you can capture beautiful moments by snapping photos of them enjoying the fun things of a typical day.

• Sleeping. You may not have thought about it, but you will be pleasantly surprised at the photos you can capture while your kids are sleeping. You’ll get quite a contrast with the photos you take when your children are full of energy and active.

• When they are creating. Take photos of your kids coloring, drawing, building projects with blocks, molding clay, painting rocks, and even taking things apart – yes, that’s creative!

• With their favorite sources of comfort. Young children often cling to a source of comfort like a teddy bear, stuffed animal or a security blanket. Capture these moments while you can – it will probably only be a span of two or three years. Taking photos of your kids with these objects that they love and cling to will preserve great memories for the future.

Enjoy your children while they are young - time flies by much too quickly. Prescott family photographer, Aris Affairs Photography, can capture those priceless images of your kids before they grow up. Let us create an heirloom photo showing all the warmth, fun and beauty of your family. Call us today at 928-642-4049 to schedule a photo shoot.
