Tutorial | Quick Fix to Changing URL’s

So as you may have noticed I changed URL’s a couple of weeks ago.. caynay.com became an online portfolio/landing page and the blog was changed to caynayblog.com.. It was something that I had been brewing for a while but was more so an impulse decision than anything else. The problem with impulse decisions and changing URL’s? Broken permalinks. […]

Bride Tip | Finding Your Photog Match

It’s like shopping for the right pair of jeans. They need to have a good fit, you have to like the wash, and they have to be in your right price range but all things aside, you have to like the style. Jean shopping = Photographer shopping. Goodness gracious I hate jean shopping. I had […]

Bride Tip | Wedding Day Details

I’m a detail oriented person. It’s how I am wired. I can easily remember the big details of my life, moving as a child, moving to a new city as an adult, graduating, landing jobs, my first photography gig. It’s not the problem of remembering the big things but the little bits. The font you […]

Tutorial | How to Fix Chromatic Aberration

I read an article by Katelyn James (go figure.. She’s my fav) a while back that discussed chromatic aberration. I had never seen it before nor had I ever experienced it in my images. I had this shoot last weekend (my own portraits mind you – such a weirdo) and didn’t notice anything weird in the original […]

Keeping Things Fresh | Random Thoughts On My Blog Brand

So it’s obvious that around here I switch things up quite often. The header gets refreshed, the side bar gets changed, my tabs get overhauled along with my “about me” section. I haven’t quite decided if it’s because I’m unhappy with the way it looks or if it’s because I’m a design freak. Probably the […]

Lens Dream Sheet

Every lens does something different. It achieves something artistically different. The 85mm is known for it’s intimate feel and rich colors where as the 50mm is known for it’s creamy bokeh/background blur and is close to the human eye. I have been tossing around the idea of purchasing a new lens. Granted I’ll be renting […]

The New Game Plan | Consistent Blogging

I’ve gone through a big life change. I decided to leave my position as a preschool teacher. I needed a switch up, needed a break from the crazy, and wanted to expand my knowledge in other avenues. I landed a job within an office for an investment company. I am super excited about this opportunity […]
