mamarazzi

May 12, 2011 Sarah Coggins

Have camera … now how do I use it? This is what led my friend, Allison, and I in taking a “mamarazzi” class taught by local photographer Annie Harrison of Red Bridge Photography. We met Annie & her partner, Rebecca Faulk, at a park in Durham. Our boys had a chance to play while we learned the basics of shooting in manual mode on our dslr cameras as well as discussing how to best shoot little subjects (ie, your kids & babies – hence “mamarazzi”). Then we spent an hour practicing and getting tips from the professionals.

Putting together a scrapbook page for our adventure, I knew I wanted to keep the focus on the photos. I started with a template by Paislee Press since I love the simplicity of them. I removed a couple of embellishment elements, edited the title & journaling then put in the photos. I literally did not touch the paper colors or the shadowing. It sounds quick and sort of was. It took me a while to narrow down our hundreds of shots to just 12 that really rock and help sum up the day.

Supplies: Paislee Press Press Plate No 27 template; title – from class workbook; Myriad Pro font.

    I love the title of your layout, very cute! Great photos, I'm sure it was hard to chose just 12.

    How cool. Great photos! Next time we come to Raleigh we will have to get together. We are hoping to move there if we can sell our house.
