I have been revisiting a lot of my old wedding and portrait photography in preparation of getting them touched up, re-sized and re-branded when I came across one of my favorite shots. This one was taken back in April of 2008 and that is Sherri and Tom that you see there. This photo really goes to show you how an artists technique and know-how can turn the ordinary into extraordinary to create memorable images that just “Wow”. Who needs Photoshop, this ‘blur‘ effect was done entirely in-camera!

Thanks!

I think we have been going through business names like water these days. First was Michael Alan Photography way back in 2005. Last year, I felt bad that Becky was playing such a big role in the business yet wasn’t getting the recognition she deserved so we switched things to Paramour Photography back in 2009.
Becky is about 14 weeks pregnant with our second child so we both agreed that it will be best for her to focus on being the best mom she can be to our children and I will fly solo with the photography… Shooting a wedding has become way too taxing on her so she will be sitting on the sidelines for now. I do have a couple amazing second shooters to take Becky’s place for the rest of the 2010 wedding season so no worries there.
So I present to you the final re-branding of our business — Michael Alan Bielat. Same great service. same great photos.
Thanks for everyone’s support and understanding.

I am sure that everyone is enjoying the weather now that winter is over. This means you will probably be dusting off your point and shoots or digital SLR cameras and taking your kids outside for some pictures.
Unfortunately, the weather is still hit or miss and the landscape around us is still recouping so the scenery in not quite the ideal backdrop just yet… Or is it?
My tip for Spring Photographs is that you is to ditch the dreary look and instead bring out as much color as you can. This can be done through your children’s wardrobe or by using certain outdoor locations. Just remember, bright clothing is a good thing, BUSY clothing is not. Stay away from shirts that look as if Jimmy Hendrix puked on them. Too many stripes and colors can be very distracting.
So go outside and deck your kids up with an umbrella, bright yellow rain jacket or sun dress and a pair slush boots. That is always ALWAYS a classic. If you don’t have that then you can always take them to a playground that’s painted in vivid colors and shoot there. The sky is the limit.
Lastly, if all else fails then get close and do some head shots of your children. Fill the frame up with more of them and less of the scenery around you. Easy peasy…
