Photography shoot giveaway from Rahel Menig

You might already know me from reading this Blog, as I have been fortunate to design for BlueMoonScrapbooking for quiet some time now. Today though, I want to talk to you about something else. A dream. A story. A quest.
I have always dreamed of becoming a professional Wedding Photographer, but never really thought this would ever happen. Until not that long ago, when I finally took the plunge. 

In Switzerland I went to photography school and was known for my distinct eye, for creative details and for out-of-the-box imagery. I am now taking all of my experience, to capture love. That is my quest. 

Enough about me! What about you? What is your story and your plans?

How to Master Flare Photography
Flare effects are one of my favorites to do when capturing images of couples. It adds that softness, that romance and that creative take on a simple shot. It is fun and once you know how - so easy!
Details: 1/200s - f/2.8 - ISO 320 - Focal Length 200.0mm

Flare happens when you turn your camera right into sunlight. Now, if you work on Auto, the camera will try to get the image dark enough to reduce the 'error' and you will end up with a dark, if not black silhouette of the person that you want to take a picture of.
Turn your DSLR on manual and open up the aperture to the lowest number you can possibly get (i.e. 1.4, 2.8, 3.5,..) This will let in the light and produce the flare. Once you've adjusted the aperture play around with the shutter time. You want your picture to be very light, so overexposing is a must.
Details: 1/200s - f/2.8 - ISO 320 - Focal Length 17.0mm

Giveaway
I am giving away a Couple/Engagement Session to one lucky BlueMoonScrapbooking reader (worth $200)! If you live in the Greater Bay Area or are up for traveling to the Bay Area, then leave a comment on this Blog Post, answering the following question: Do you like Flare or not?
xoxo, Rahel
I'll pick a random winner here on Tuesday Feb 7th.

You three are my everything

An absolutely gorgeous layout from Melissa Mann!
"I created my own stamped background to "fill" in the white space at the top of this layout. I stamped out various circle images from the Studio Calico stamps and used my sewing machine on a few of them. This helped to anchor down the three circles I had in the bottom half of my layout." ~~Melissa
