Huh, I find the being present thing interesting, as I think sometimes photographing an experience can take a person out of the experience, but I like thinking about how it makes you more observant and appreciative as well.
FM, I agree that photographing an experience can easily turn into being less present although I think the person photographing potentially gets to observe and remember parts of the experience that others don’t. . . kinda makes the idea of viewing the world through a certain lens very literal. . . I also think (and this gets into an idea for another post so I won’t get into it too much) that it’s why I use my iPhone at times that others (with DSLRs) would never consider using anything other than their “real” camera. . . and why I have fewer pictures of E and certain “family moments” than most people with DSLRs. . . it’s a hard balance because of course I want to capture memories and would want to do so with a high quality camera (since I have one; not saying it’s necessary) but I also want to be involved in those moments. . .
it’s also, incidentally, why i recommended that camera we talked about — smaller, easier to pull out at a moment’s notice and less intrusive as far as taking the person photographing out of the moment.
i appreciate your comment and the chance to discuss it because it’s definitely a challenge!
(i’m assuming you’re on a mac?) hit shift + command + 4 at the same time and you’ll get a little cross-hairs-like thingy (i’m sure it has a name of which i’m not aware!) and you can drag that across the part you want to capture. i think there are ways to capture a whole page as well, but i don’t know off the top of my head.
I love texture myself, beautifully captured textures! I personally don’t go overboard with sharpness. I like the bottom one the most! Perhaps you could do one sometime with chalk dust added for atmosphere. Might be neat.
Really enjoyed reading this, i feel very much the same about my own photography, My MA project was called “Nature of Contemplation” – playing between the nature/qualities of that frame of mind (particularly when taking the photos), and the fact that my photographs/video work was taken in woodlands and was very much intrinsic to the purpose of the project and what allowed me to settle into that frame of mind, allowing me to create the work etc etc etc….
And i totally agree with the whole family portrait/event thing, i’m RUBBISH at taking photos when i’m socialising in any way, its just a different approach i guess, not to mention different style, technique and all that… i love to be in the moment, but love looking back at photos afterwards (that other people have inevitably taken)… damn i need to sort this out!!! hehe xx
Thanks for the great post! 🙂
thank you for your great comments! i would love to see your work. you should definitely check out the “photo by design” class with kim manley ort — great class that i think you’d love! she’s also on Facebook: Adventures in Seeing with Kim Manley Ort.

I’m gonna be posting some of my work on my new blog soon – http://catkinsdesigns.blogspot.com/ (sorry for the blatant plug!!) as I want to start really getting back into my photography again and producing short runs of prints….so gonna introduce the photography and have it sitting alongside my jewellery, i hope it’ll work!!!

Wow. I LOVE the commentary. It made seeing the image extra sweet. As a Mom whose children are now in their 20’s, I would have loved to have such a thoughtful photographer take pictures of them. I did the best I could at the time. Those eyelashes are to die for and this memory will live on through your beautiful work.
thank you for such a thoughtful comment, kim! it means a lot to me! i’m sure you have many wonderful photographs of your kids and i know you continue to photograph them beautifully as i’ve seen a bit on instagram and your blog. i’m so thankful for digital photography for that reason — i haven’t always been good about documenting my son, his development and all my thoughts in other ways (i have notes scribbled in various journals as well as emails i’ve been sending to an address i set up for him) but at least i have some images…although these days i have to sneak them in!
It doesn’t get any better than child photography. A beautiful photo that definitely caught one of the little things that make children special. What an expression caught with a unique perspective. Very nice shot and if you always base your business on the little things your business will continually grow bigger and stronger.
Photography and art really does make you and stop and consider the little things. It is amazing how many times you photo a flower and begin processing it to find an insect you never saw while photographing. Maybe I should be more studious! 🙂 Or look more at the “little things!” 🙂
I sure try but I photographed a model yesterday and didn’t even notice she was wearing a feather on her earrings until I uploaded the photos! 🙂 It really is amazing how often we don’t really look. I read about a professional photographer that gives workshops where you can only photograph within a 10′ x 10′ space for four hours to teach people to really look at what they photographing and missing. Kind of a good idea.
you’re welcome! if you have a tax id, you should definitely sign up for the “prodeal” — nice discount. i think you’ll really love the look and quality! keep me posted if/when you give it a try.
I am so touched by this letter and your willingness to put into words how the workshop affected you. It confirmed my decision not to have a formal survey this time. Every person’s experience is unique and it’s important for me to know about the individual experience.
I so appreciated your contributions to the group. You are, for sure, an intuitive photographer, and it is a good thing to reflect on the why of what you are drawn to. It does teach you things about yourself. I too find photography to be restorative as well, and learning to expand on what we normally see is definitely life-enhancing.
Now you know why I wanted to share my experience in New Brunswick of learning to see. It is so exciting for me to facilitate that process through my workshops. Thanks again, Rachel, for writing such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate it.

hi, cat! thanks so much for your lovely comment. i’m excited about this one, too and love how the reflection of the tree and building in the window on top of the vignette makes it look like a collage or a layer of multiple pictures in one. i wouldn’t mind at all if you share as long as you link back to my blog or my website or something. thanks so much!
cool, thanks! The rest are great too – makes me really want to go back to NY and go with my bf! That first one is extra special tho 🙂
I’ve only briefly been to NY for about 5 days – it was a trip on my BA photography course which is about 6 years ago now, but i loved it! would really love to go back – the photos i’d take now would be so different! ahhh…one day….. 😉
[…] a 24-70 from borrowlenses.com (that i’ve since purchased from my local camera store since i was so enamored with the lens and since it really is a must-have lens for portraiture) and my experience renting […]
I have also found the opportunity to try things out through BorrowLenses to be extremely helpful. When you’re thinking of laying out significant money for some glass, having the ability to “try before you buy” is a great way to ensure you’re going to be satisfied with your purchase before it happens.
So, consider this another thumbs up to BorrowLenses from a satisfied customer.
Thank you so much Rachel. This whole experience has been such a ride and it is so deeply special to me to be able to have it captured by your lens. Love you so much, and the little one is very excited to meet you someday soon too!
amen! . . . i’ve gone from trying to find the perfect purse to trying to find the perfect diaper bag and now to trying to find the perfect camera bag. . . wait a minute…i’m starting to think maybe the problem is me. . . 😉
Hi there.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Always nice to meet a local blogger! A million years ago I majored in photography but remember almost nothing anymore. 🙂
Must be the moon! I’ve been in the same place this week, though quite unintentionally. I had to find balance, and my goal to post a photo a day slipped – just when my readership was starting to show a significant jump 🙁 I did brainstorm a number of creative ideas I am looking forward to realizing over the next week, so that was cool.
yes, yes, let’s definitely blame it on the moon! i like that! . . . and speaking of “moon” there is going to be a “super moon” on saturday so get your camera ready!! 🙂
i think/hope that readership sticks around… we’re all only human, right?! i hope this week has been restorative for you. looking forward to seeing the results of your brainstorming!
Fine looking young man and a very beautiful black and white portrait. The light couldn’t be anymore crisp. For me a black and white portrait cannot get anymore beautiful! Great job.

Thank you for sharing this information. I am so excited to try this out next week. I will most defineitly referance this post on my blog when my photo come out. Thanks again!
Glad to hear you are impressed with the results! I always trust a photographer’s opinion on quality of prints – I think we tend to be a lot fussier and picky about print quality, so its really reassuring to hear you think they are good quality – and as a result I think I might just check it out!! 🙂 x
Great review. Thanks for sharing!

Here’s something I discovered last year. Whenever I get rebate money back in the form of a prepaid debit card, I add it to my Amazon payment account, & then transfer the amount of the card to the Amazon gift card balance.
I used to have all these cards hanging around, & if I used them in a store, couldn’t remember what the balances were.
This way I know the money will get used & won’t go to different fees for that specific card.
An app I use on my Android phone is called Key Ring. I scan my loyalty cards into the phone via bar code & caneven take pictures of the front & back of each card. There is a way to log in, to save that data in case you switch to a new phone.
I don’t toss the cards, but just keep them in a safe place if something should go wrong.
There are also deals that can pop up for stores where I shop. This app even allows me to add specific cards that aren’t in their list, such as my local library card.
These are great ideas! Thank you! I’m gonna keep that in mind regarding the rebate cards (in fact, I just got one in the mail that I was worried about using effectively) and I am really excited to get those key tags off my key ring and onto the app! Thank you!
I’ve updated the Photo Shoot Checklist I originally posted almost 6 years ago! I’ve created a printable, modern version that I hope photographers will love. Would you like to see anything added to this list? Leave a comment below and let me know! xo

[…] a 24-70 from borrowlenses.com (that i’ve since purchased from my local camera store since i was so enamored with the lens and since it really is a must-have lens for portraiture) and my experience renting […]
I have also found the opportunity to try things out through BorrowLenses to be extremely helpful. When you’re thinking of laying out significant money for some glass, having the ability to “try before you buy” is a great way to ensure you’re going to be satisfied with your purchase before it happens.
So, consider this another thumbs up to BorrowLenses from a satisfied customer.
thanks so much for your comment, earl! i’m glad you’ve had a good experience with them as well.
Awwww how wonderful!! 🙂 xxx
These are awesome!!!! You did such a great job!! You seem to have that natural eye for detail! Alice
thanks so much, alice! it’s great to hear from you! sending love and best wishes to you!
Congratulations, Rachel.
thanks so much my friend!
Thank you so much Rachel. This whole experience has been such a ride and it is so deeply special to me to be able to have it captured by your lens. Love you so much, and the little one is very excited to meet you someday soon too!
Is it any wonder we are forever searching for the perfect camera and gear bag? 🙂
amen! . . . i’ve gone from trying to find the perfect purse to trying to find the perfect diaper bag and now to trying to find the perfect camera bag. . . wait a minute…i’m starting to think maybe the problem is me. . . 😉
Hi there.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Always nice to meet a local blogger! A million years ago I majored in photography but remember almost nothing anymore. 🙂
Must be the moon! I’ve been in the same place this week, though quite unintentionally. I had to find balance, and my goal to post a photo a day slipped – just when my readership was starting to show a significant jump 🙁 I did brainstorm a number of creative ideas I am looking forward to realizing over the next week, so that was cool.
yes, yes, let’s definitely blame it on the moon! i like that! . . . and speaking of “moon” there is going to be a “super moon” on saturday so get your camera ready!! 🙂
i think/hope that readership sticks around… we’re all only human, right?! i hope this week has been restorative for you. looking forward to seeing the results of your brainstorming!

thanks, cat! hope this finds you well! xo
Yeah not bad thanks 🙂 Hope life is treating you well too, those photographs have such light and freshness to them, really gorgeous and uplifting 🙂 x
I have been meaning to stop there for years. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos.
thanks, melissa! it’s a great little spot — some nice textures, shapes and levels for photo shoots too . . .
great quote! 🙂 x
Fine looking young man and a very beautiful black and white portrait. The light couldn’t be anymore crisp. For me a black and white portrait cannot get anymore beautiful! Great job.
A very fine image!
thanks so much!
thank you for your thoughtful comment! it means a lot!

Great to hear, I have been thinking about buying one of my own images. @withoutink if you care to take a peep.
thanks for your comment! i’ll definitely check out your gallery!
Thank you so much for the review! You did a great job, and we’re really happy you’re enjoying your canvas. Thanks for being a part of the community.
-Team Instacanv.as
glad you like the review! thanks for creating such a high quality and fun way to print and display our instagram art!
Thank you for sharing this information. I am so excited to try this out next week. I will most defineitly referance this post on my blog when my photo come out. Thanks again!
Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for your comment. I can’t wait to see your firework photos!!
I’m gonna take some too! Thanks Rachel.
Awesome! Come back and let us know how it went!
Glad to hear you are impressed with the results! I always trust a photographer’s opinion on quality of prints – I think we tend to be a lot fussier and picky about print quality, so its really reassuring to hear you think they are good quality – and as a result I think I might just check it out!! 🙂 x
Great review. Thanks for sharing!
I’m relatively new to Instagram, but I love it more and more every day!
Still trying to figure out exactly how Instacanvas works though… Actually that’s what brought me here in the first place… 😉
Btw, I visited your gallery. Lovely artwork! Mine is instacanv.as/laliou. You can drop by anytime… I’d really appreciate your feedback! 🙂

A really nice post, Rachel, and some great photos, too. I need to get back out to the Bay area soon.
Thanks, Earl! I hope you do make it out to the Bay area soon — such a great place. We’re thinking of making it a yearly visit.
It’s my favorite city for reason! Great wrap up post; next time, you should be sure to check out the Exploratorium and another great ice cream spot is Humphrey Slocumbe!
hi lizz! thanks for stopping by and for your comment! we actually did visit the exploratorium and loved it; just felt like this post was already a little long, but you’re right that it’s a great spot! and i will be sure to put that ice cream place on my list for the next time we’re in SF! 🙂
Thanks for your visit to the coast! We did this trip last year, but didn’t explore like you did. My wife would of loved to have explored like you and family did. Now we know of the different places to visit.
Sincerely,
John Nolan
Great photography!
Hi John! ‘Glad this post will come in handy next time you and your family visit San Francisco! Thanks for stopping by and for your comment!

Technology always insists on having love/hate relationships. I keep 3 backup copies, one off-site. It’s just too costly not to.
really like the soft focus
thanks, lisa!
Thanks for posting! Great peace of mind for the amateur photographer – like me – having set up a gallery and feeling unsure about the quality. My gallery has just opened – I’d really appreciate any constructive feedback instacanv.as/c_j_b_s
Just updated my gallery… ALL proceeds go to a charity badly in need of funds. Please check out instacanv.as/buypicsforcharity
very cool! you’ve got some great images in your gallery! best wishes!

I was zooming thru Pinterest, looking for ideas to turn into paintings, when I came to the beautiful engagment photos of Brandon and David. I was going to leave a comment on hpw you could feel their love in the photo ….. when suddenly I looked and I was writing and Pinning under my HUSBANDS email. Truly LOL.
I am old and not particularly computer savy …. so I have 2 Pinterest accounts, both are mine. But one under my husbands name. Hewants to Pin, but I need 2 accounts.
My grandson (6 mo. old) moved to Phonix with his parents last Thursday. How far are you.

[…] It has given more voice to my photography. as i’ve always felt, photography allows me to communicate with the world in a way that i’m not able to otherwise. but I didn’t always have the words for WHY I was shooting an image the way I was or WHY I am drawn to certain imagery; WHAT I want to shoot, HOW I want to shoot it. Even the term “contemplative photography” was exciting for me to learn as it gave a name to what I think I’ve been doing for a long time without realizing it. You’ve helped me become a more confident photographer in shooting and in speaking about my work. ~ Rachel, [en]framed photography […]
Wonderful pictures
Thank you, Linda! 🙂
Here’s something I discovered last year. Whenever I get rebate money back in the form of a prepaid debit card, I add it to my Amazon payment account, & then transfer the amount of the card to the Amazon gift card balance.
I used to have all these cards hanging around, & if I used them in a store, couldn’t remember what the balances were.
This way I know the money will get used & won’t go to different fees for that specific card.
An app I use on my Android phone is called Key Ring. I scan my loyalty cards into the phone via bar code & caneven take pictures of the front & back of each card. There is a way to log in, to save that data in case you switch to a new phone.
I don’t toss the cards, but just keep them in a safe place if something should go wrong.
There are also deals that can pop up for stores where I shop. This app even allows me to add specific cards that aren’t in their list, such as my local library card.
These are great ideas! Thank you! I’m gonna keep that in mind regarding the rebate cards (in fact, I just got one in the mail that I was worried about using effectively) and I am really excited to get those key tags off my key ring and onto the app! Thank you!
