Photos! Photos anyone?

So as we all know, the holiday season brings great joy... and craziness! Working extra hours to get the overtime for the presents. Trying to see families, even if they live in the same town. Trying to get your Christmas photos done and sent out as cards. Wait, what's that? You forgot the photos? Oh no! Now, you're probably scrambling through social media trying to find someone to take your photos. Well, it happens. Every once in a while you can find somebody that isn't booked like crazy. My advice is, don't get discouraged by the price, afterall they do have a business to run!please support your photographers just like you support local businesses. They will greatly appreciate the time and effort, and also the money. Look carefully as they're are some that only want the money. The majority care about their clients, or soon to be forever clients. As for now, I am off to complete some editing of some family photos that were taken recently. Until next time, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from us here at A. Castle Photography.

Behind This Lens

When you sit down in front of a camera, what do you think? Should I smile? Is there anything in my teeth and if so, will it show when I smile? Should i act casual, or add a little mystery to it? To be honest, show your true self in every photo!!! Whether its a self portrait, a candid image, always be yourself. I sit here and write this after going through some old photos and I can see so much detail. The saying is true, "a picture is worth a thousand words". The eyes, the slight smile or grin, the posture, its a way to see in. I sit here behind the lens looking at my subjects and just wonder if it's a true version of them. None the less, it's just thoughts running through my mind and I should stop rambling on. I see that I have a slight audience out there, and thank you to whoever reads these. I'm not looking for fame, or popularity. This is just a way to showcase art in a meaningful way and write about life as a photographer. I would also like to take the time to say thank you to the amazing couple that offered me a chance to take their maternity photos. I believe that they came out looking great. I'll even put a quick on here for you guys out there! Well, off I run to finish this editing. Signing off, A. Castle Photography!
