I have a family portrait that is 17 by 20 inches, I do not know where it should be located in my house?

July 142010

Any suggestion on where the photo should be placed?

Well i believe that a family photo should go somewhere where the whole family could see it so i think that it should go over the fireplace!

– although if you dont have a fireplace it should go
wherever the whole family is able to see it!
– like in the dining room
– in the mudroom
– in the hallway
– at the top of the staircase
– or in the master suite

Watch, Rate and Comment!! Thanks!

EDIT! …answers to faqs

1. Made the girl run to a corner, then made her go shopping with relatives who were wearing the cop outfit found through the BOOLPROP CHEAP.

2. Vids just about a girl whos reminiscing the past

3. Make Sims cry on cue by using BOOLPROP CHEAT (more info on that on my channel / scroll down and check links under number 10)

4: Blurry / pixellated video clips – Go into any town and click the Options Menu (or hit F5) and then under camera options, raise all quality settings for your video capturing / make sure it’s at its highest and largest.

5. Record clips off Sims 2 while you’re playing the game. To start and end recording, hit V, pause by P

(btw, if you’re going to try this out, test it on a crappy family in a crappy neighbourhood, boolprop glitches up the game like mad! and also, if you use it, don’t save the game – JUST to stay on the safe side, lol)

Any more questions, or any more links worth going to – let me know and I’ll edit it into here!

P.S. I appologise for the real bad quality!

I need to know where I can get a family portrait done in Little Rock, AR?

July 112010

I don’t have a lot to spend, but I still want a good, quality portrait. Any suggestions?

In many Wal-Mart Supercenters there is a Portrait Center. Here in Van Buren and Fort Smith I have found very good service and quality at a reasonable price.

What is the best way to reach out to family’s to get their beach portrait business?

Business cards

I think you will find that people have their own cameras at the beach and also not many families like photos taken of their kids etc from someone whos going to charge them…

Family Portrait

July 82010

This was like, a mission to get this video finished as the song is nearly 5 minutes long! Phew! But I did it! And here’s the finished result!

Jude and Sadie spend each day watching their once perfect family fall to pieces, and when Sadie finds her dad is having an affair, although it sparks trouble, she can’t bring herself to tell Jude, or her mum. Jude, although having to listen to arguments and fights day in day out, doesnt know about the affair, but pleads with her dad to just talk to mum and go back to being happy families. The truth of course, is suddenly realised by Jude, and it comes with its consequences…

Looking for family portrait locations in Salt Lake county.?

July 62010

Our family is getting pictures taken at the beginning of April. We need suggestions of places to go! We like nature places more than industrial or old structures. There will be 13 adults and 7 children. Where can we go?
Also, we prefer somewhere free!

Check out the Red Butte Botanical Garden up at the U. It’s not far, you can take trax or just drive up. With no snow on the ground currently ( I also live in SL county), and it being just a little cold for things to open up you really won’t get a scenic view in the shot. Around April the garden should be starting to bloom and you should have a good mix of budding and freshly green plants, maybe even some flowers if we’re lucky. I’m waiting for the plants to really bloom myself so I can snap some shots.

A nice view of the valley from Park City or Foothill. With the mountains and valley in the background it would make for a great family shot. Remember try not to shoot at high noon or everyone will be squinting and the colors won’t be as rich. Try for morning or afternoon/evening hours.

Over the two suggested sites, I’d still prefer Red Butte Botanical Garden at the U, it’s not far. You can even head up now and plan on where you think you might want to take the shot. Another great thing about the Red Butte, the family and kids can walk around and really take in the beautiful area as it may be something new for you and your family to enjoy. I’m a 27 y/o guy (amateur photographer) and I love it there, my lady and I head out there quite a bit during the spring and summer months.

What kind of studio lighting should i buy for a Family Portrait Studio?

July 32010

I have a Nikon D60 (will upgrade to a D90 if it is needed). Which company makes a good product? I’m on a bit of a budget, I would like to be Semi-Pro quality. between 250-450. I’m looking for the most for my money. ( I will spend more if it really is worth it) Thanks to anyone who can give a detailed answer.

If it is just in your house take a look at some of budget kits. They will be the only ones in your price range.

Do you want strobes or hot lights?

Strobes will give you nice results but they are little harder to use. You can’t see what the shots will look like until you take the picture. Not a big problem with digital though.

Hot lights are easy because you can see exactly what you are going to get before you snap the picture. The problem is that they are hot. Your models will melt under them.

For strobes a budget kit like the Interfit two light kit will be fine in a relatively small space. Cost is $299 and includes 2 150ws lights, 1 umbrella, 1 softbox and two stands.

For hot lights a Lowel Tota two light kit will be fine. It includes 2 lights, 2 umbrellas and 2 stands. Cost is $313.

You can then buy a background stand about $100 and a roll of seamless paper $50-$100. You can also skip the stand and use a couple of eye hooks, a chain and a piece of PVC pipe if you wont be moving it around. This will cost you about $10.

One last thing. The D60 does not have a PC connection to plug in the sync cables for strobes. This is not a big deal but you will need a Nikon AS-15 hot shoe adapter about $20 or a radio trigger. Radio triggers like a Pocket Wizard are expensive though.

How to get a great professionally photographed family portrait?

June 302010

We’re having a family portrait today and our confirmation slip says that we should wear bright colors. I’m wondering what tips there are to get a great looking photo, and whether any one has any advice from personal experience?

Look natural. Try not to smile in a "fake" way…if you have to, think of something funny to give yourself a reason to grin.

Since it’s a group photo, make sure your colours coordinate alright.
