    Client Workflow | Photog Friday

      Workflows save me time and keep me organized. I know exactly what needs to be done and in what order. For family sessions, I have a short workflow that serves my clients from backing-up images to delivering their images in a timely manner. If you don’t have a workflow, consider using my workflow system...

      Consistency | Photog Friday

      Consistency is the key to everything. Want to lose weight? You need to be consistent with your workout routine and eating habits. Working out once every 2 months isn’t going to help you reach your goal. And parenting-whew, don’t even get me started – sleeping routines, eating routines, discipline, etc. It is all about being...

        Photog Friday | Email Templates

I send out similar emails for sessions, invoices, contracts, reminder emails, print releases, galleries, the list could go on and one (and I send out A LOT of them!) One way that I save my time and sanity is to have generic email templates.  I have...

          Shooting in Kelvin | Photog Friday

          photography education, diana gordon photography, photo

          Shooting in Kelvin was a game changer for me as a photographer. No more worrying about yellow tones from lights anymore! Kelvin is a scale to measure the color of light.  Each image you take has a color temperature attached to it. A lot of people default to using the white balance settings that are...

              Chromatic Aberration | Photog Friday

                I am diving in deep about a technical problem today- chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration or color fringing is an optical problem caused by a lens’ ability to focus and bring together all the wavelengths of color on the same focal point. Sounds super confusing, but in a nutshell it means that when you photograph...

                Intentional Time | Photog Friday

                  As a business owner you really need to be intentional with your time. All of us have 24 hours in a day (yes, even Beyoncé), and sometimes that’s still not enough. Over the years, I have learned a few creative ways to be intentional with my business time and still have family time. First...
