New Things with Amoreena Photography

Exciting new developments with Amoreena Photography for 2012! Amoreena has started up a Child/Family only Photography Blog called Bay Area Child Photography.  This blog will be focused on just Child Photography, Infant Photography, and Family Photography. Since becoming a mom within the last year Amoreena has had the opportunity to do more and more infant and toddler photography and found great enjoyment in it!

Amoreena Photography has upgraded their equipment!  Yey!  All photographers will be shooting 100% with L-series lenses and Canon Mark II cameras.  We have been fortunate to have access to most of this gear throughout the years, but now all of us will be shooting 100% with the best, even second shooters!

Since Amoreena's parents have relocated to San Diego, Amoreena Photography will also be servicing the San Diego area with weddings, events, and portraits.  Find out when Amoreena will be in the area next for portrait sessions or schedule your event/wedding (for events/weddings there is no travel charge) with Amoreena this year. 

Lastly, Happy Holidays!!

Lucie Stern Wedding

Amoreena Photography was at it again...at Lucie Stern. This is the 4th time we have photographed a wedding at this location in Palo Alto.  It is great, we love it!  The trees, architecture, and beautiful banquet room is great for weddings!  I highly recommend the Lucie Stern Community Center as a venue for weddings.  Here are some favorites!

Family Photos of Meghan, Scott, and Reece!

Amoreena Berg spend a lot of time doing photography for families in November and December!  We had a lot of fun doing it and produced some great images. Child photography is always an extra challenges but also one of the most rewarding when you capture the spirit of the child.  Here are some of the favorites from Meghan, Scott, and Reece!

Toddler Photos!

Toddler photography can be the most challenging photos to take.  This is my daughter actually and I am learning so much by photographing her and every stage she goes through. She is 11 months old here and what I have learned by all the toddlers I have photographed is you have to let them do their thing.  Children look the most beautiful when they are exploring, looking at things or laughing at you because you did something funny.  A few ways to get toddlers on the move to stop for a few minutes is to give them something to do.  Putting them up against a wall or in a corner helps them from escaping fast as well. Most importantly don't force a toddler to stay still, pose and smile. Not only does it not look natural, but they don't like it and then you miss capturing their spirits.  Don't be afraid to let your child crawl in the dirt or eat something messy.  Get down on their level, it makes them curious and they will look at you more. It makes for the best photos!  When in doubt hire a professional because unless you know how to operate a camera fast and have a high end camera you won't be able to really get what you are looking for.  Children grow so fast so I say spend the money and get it done right.
