Tell a great story with your phone!

Taking a picture of the watch would be okay, but even with my phone camera, I can tell a story!

     Last week, I posted about my favorite camera app for my phone.  As I mentioned, there is nothing wrong with being a phone photographer, and even the most popular photographers do it all of the time!  Unless you have an old flip phone (you know who I'm talking about), your phone is a great tool to take great pictures and tell great stories!  And I like the word "great" a lot... guess that's why I don't write for the NY Times...

   

The world has also gone a bit crazy when it comes to "selfies".  I was shooting a client yesterday and she had just recently been introduced to the term selfie.  Don't judge her...she's busy!  There are probably a TON of people out there that have A LOT of selfies on their phone, and that's great.  Well...only kinda great.   But here's the thing:  you are carrying around a pretty decent camera all day long, so why not learn how to tell really good stories with it?!

Newlyweds return for Christmas!
