These kind of shoots make me love what I do. There is so much love between these two that makes me want to be a better wife and person! They were married this weekend in the St. George temple. I am excited for these two!

Dench Family
Oh my goodness, that baby! I can't get enough of those little rolls and that cute smile! When you greet her it is usually a big open mouth. I had so much fun with this family, especially in this light. They are such good parents and people.
If you are interested in family pictures this summer in the Rexburg, ID area email: annafreeby@gmail.com for more information!

HOW TO TAKE FIREWORK PICTURES
Once I learned to take pictures like this, it has been the one thing I look forward to every year, ever since. I want to teach you how it works! It is called the focus shift technique. I learned it myself from here.
What you will need: DSLR Camera, Long Lens, & a tripod. {I use a Canon 50D with a 28-135mm lens}.
Tips: The trick is so get as close to the fireworks as you can, so using a long lens is best. (I zoom my 28-135mm all the way to 135mm to get as close as I can.
Use Manual Mode. Here are the settings I use: ISO 100, F/11, 4s. You can use 1-6 seconds for your shutter speed, I use 4 on almost all of mine.
Don't wiggle the tripod! It will 'shake' the fireworks. It was a windy night in the picture above...unfortunately.
Instead of having your camera on AF (auto focus), switch it to MF (manual focus). This is the fun part! While you are shooting a picture for 4 seconds or so, turn your focus ring from in-focus to out-of-focus or vice-versa to create a magical image of a firework. While your shutter is capturing light for 4 seconds, you are forcing the image to appear out of focus then in focus.
Go try it yourself! To see more of my images, go here.

My Family Pictures
Taking Family Pictures each year is always fun. It's basically the only time I use my tripod (besides the 4th of July) and I end up getting a work out in (running back and forth to the camera). This year we were able to squeeze in pictures while visiting Kansas! And I was so happy to get to have a husband in them. I love my family.
