            <title><![CDATA[Hi Aria, could you please share some tips on lifestyle family shoot? Like what to photograph, the lighting, the lenses to use, the poses, what you say to make them act natural, what you have them do, and etc. Love your family shoot by the way! (by sfenella)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[Whenever I shoot in homes, I try to do it in the morning when there&#039;s more light (unless the client tells me there&#039;s a better time for light, depending on their home). I shoot mostly with my 50mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.4. I photograph them all in their environment (kids in their playroom, baby in the nursery, the whole family cuddled up on the couch, bed, doorstep, etc. I ask them what kinds of things they like to do together (read stories, play with toys, eat snacks in the kitchen, etc.).]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Hi Aria! I&#039;m moving to downtown SLC at the end of the month! I don&#039;t know much about the city or where good places to shoot engagements, family shoots and bridals would be. If it&#039;s not too much trouble would you mind throwing out a couple of ideas? :) (by darylschmidt)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t really have places written down, but I just drive around downtown and pick a few places. I actually don&#039;t like shooting in Salt Lake very much because you find a good tiny spot, but you can only take a few photos there, and then you have to hop in your car and drive to another spot...all the while with horrible parking and lots of one-way streets. I&#039;m a stressed out driver, so I prefer shooting in the slower paced Utah County. :)]]></description>

Your house is so clean even though you have 3 little ones. Mine&#039;s a disaster even with just 1 baby. How d&#039;ya do that?! :) (by sfenella)]]></title>

            <title><![CDATA[Hello! I have been using Heidi&#039;s web resize and sharpen (thank you very much!) for my web images and I love the look. My prints, though, seem a bit soft. Do you sharpen for prints at all? Have you used Heidi&#039;s for you album images? Thanks! (by christenbarnes)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I add a little bit of sharpening (in a batch action that converts my photos to sRGB, then sharpens and saves as high quality JPG). I sharpen by going to Filter --&gt; Sharpen --&gt; Unsharp Mask and entering ~ Amount: 15; Radius 2.8; Threshold: 0 (you can decide how much sharpness you want by increasing the Amount...this is a pretty light amount).]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[What parts do you normally tweak in VSCO. I just don&#039;t know enough about to know what to mess with. And do you use the standard vsco or the one for Nikon. I shoot Canon but when I use the Canon vsco&#039;s presets they look horrible. Thanks so much. Your great (by traciedawn)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I think it&#039;s the standard VSCO. I just adjust exposure, contrast, blacks, recovery tool, etc. I just adjust each image accordingly. I&#039;ve tried saving my own recipes, but nothing seems to work on other shoots. So I just adjust each image.]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Hey Aria :) I got the NikonD600 and I&#039;m very excited!! I really want to start building my profile,blog, etc. and getting my work out there, I&#039;m going to graduate in photography soon but I don&#039;t know where to start with this dream.What are some good steps? (by colemax)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[That&#039;s awesome! I would suggest trying to shoot as much as possible - trying daily, if you can. Just photograph everything around you, in all sorts of lighting to really hone your skill. To build your portfolio, I suggest setting up mini shoots with friends and family, as well as finding models (check out www.modelmayhem.com to find models in your area willing to work for trade for photos). Set up a blog and FB page and start posting regularly (and tag the subjects on FB so their friends see your work). This will generate exposure and start getting the word of mouth out there. Good luck!]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[Hey Aria! I&#039;ve been looking for nature/fieldish/foresty spots for bridals and I looove Ansley&#039;s! Where was that?! Also, whenever I do find a good field or forest it tends to have a no trespassing sign, do you ever ignore those? What do you suggest? (by emilie419)]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[I do trespass sometimes.... I try to avoid it if I can, but sometimes I just have no choice! :)<br />
<br />
Ansley&#039;s bridals were taken in two locations: the first was an orchard near me. If you&#039;re going north on 1100 E. (in AF/PG) towards the Timp temple, go past the temple and take your first right on 1100 N. Follow that all the way down till you see big blue silos on your right and a small orchard on your left.<br />
<br />
The second spot was a big field, also near the Timp temple. If you&#039;re on that same road (1100 E) heading towards the temple, turn left at the temple (700 N), and go down a few streets till you see baseball fields on your right. Turn right there, and follow all the way to the very end of the road/parking lots, and it dead ends onto a big field.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Thank you. :) I&#039;ve just taught myself through lots of trial and error and experimenting, as well as finding online tutorials here and there. I think it&#039;s ok to look at photos you like and try to teach yourself to edit like that, and then begin to develop your own style.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[That&#039;s definitely something you don&#039;t want to hear! :( I would remind them that you have your own style and eye (and that you hope they hired you for that). I have had some clients show me ideas/photos/styles from pinterest, and I&#039;m kind of torn - i think it&#039;s great for them to be involved in the idea process, but at the same time, I don&#039;t want to feel like I need to copy something for them.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I use it with ACR. I&#039;m not even sure I&#039;m doing it right, I&#039;ve just been playing around with it. I just open all the photos in ACR like I always do, and put the Fuji 800Z preset (sometimes if it doesn&#039;t look good on it, I use the Fuji 400H), and then adjust each image (brightness, contrast, warmth, etc.). Then I batch save them all as sRGB profile and JPG. I still use RadLab for all my custom bw recipe that I run afterwards.]]></description>
