Personalized Dance Photos of Your Kids
Andrews Photography recently had the opportunity to create some fun dance photos for two of our past clients. Chandler who dances at Woodbury Dance Center and Corrina who practices at Del Monico Dance in Woodbury MN. Both kids would not go to the others dance school photo sessions to do buddy photos.
If you have kids in dance you know about dress rehearsal day and the fast paced photo shoots you get. Your lucky to have your child in front of the camera for those solo shots for a minute. Andrews Photography takes great pride in creating one of a kind images for parents who want more than the standard one pose photos you get at a dance studio shoot. We are looking for parents who would like to celebrate your child’s achievements and get the image that reflects your child’s personality.
Steps to great dance photos
1. Know your child and plan accordingly on the time the shoot takes place
2. Be prepared with the outfit selection prior to the studio session
3. Tell your child its a play date not a photo session, or ask them if they would like to be a paid model for the day. “Models have to do what the photographer asks them”
4. Parents be calm and relaxed kids pick up on your body language, when your stressed they get stressed too.
5. Fill the studio in on what your child responds well too at this stage of their development.
The goal is to maximize a great experience for everyone and create wonderful images to cherish for a lifetime.

Tips on what to Wear for your Pro Portrait Session
What to Wear for a Photo Session?
Your photo session is right around the corner and you are not sure what color to wear or what color looks good on you, so you choose Black. Now, if everyone is wearing Black and you post your photo on LinkedIn or a social media site, guess what? Your image will blend right in with everyone else’s and you will be looked over. Their will be no WOW that’s different! A common mistake most people when going into a photo shoot. Picking out the right outfit is important and Andrews Photography can help.
First, figure out what kind of background you most desire, white is in right now and lit by the sun is the way to go. If you are wearing black and the background is white your body will look heavy. Easy fix, wear a solid color so the viewer focuses on your face.
Background choice number two, pick a color or light grey. If your hair is thinning this is a great go too solution. This will help to create mass hair and the center of focus again is the eyes and face.
Background option number three, if you have a company color try to incorporate that color in the photo with the use of a secondary color or object. Out of focus backgrounds digitally dropped in are pretty hot right now see our website for examples of this technique. http://www.Andrews-Photography.com
Both Great photos pictured above but the one on the right will get noticed in a sea of other people wearing black. Photos from IAAP event we did last night.
The outfit is easier than you think, please don’t ask your mom, unless she happens to be Dawn Stebbing.
• Ask a friend to give you some idea’s of what they thought were your best colors you wore in last couple of months.
2. Ask a co-worker the same thing
3. Try a professional like Dawn Stebbing or a personal shopper at “Nordstrom’s”.
4. Look at your hair if its dark you may want to try ranges of cool reds, warm purples, medium blues
5. Medium blondes go with blues, greens, corals, or even a gray top on a white or light grey background.
6. Everyone, solid colors are best, layer with a scarf or wear pearl earrings for a classy touch, less is more.
7. Don’t forget your tans and browns if you choose one of these, layer it with something colorful under or over it.
8. Guys bring extra sets of everything and don’t forget dark socks, (leave the white ones at home).
Colors are a extension of your personality, keep in mind your main focus of a personal image used for business is. The image should say I am fun to be with and I know what I am doing in my chosen profession.
Ask yourself this while looking at your old photo, Would I be willing to work alongside or with this person in a small room.

Cafeteria while people celebrated.
What Hmong College Prep Academy is about, free tuition for students, all day everyday Kindergarten a freshly cooked breakfast and lunch for ALL students, busing for all with door-to-door pick-up/drop off for students in grades K-8 (Twin Cities & select suburbs), Uniforms provide consistency among students, Convenient St. Paul location, just off Snelling by the State Fairgrounds, 8 AM to 3 PM school day, 30% of staff members fluent in Hmong for non-English speakers. Low 15:1 student to teacher ratio and a a focus on college as a end result for each student.
They also offer After school academic support, Sports, clubs, and the arts…there seems to be something for everyone.

Andrews Photography had the chance to create a few original portraits for Dawn Stebbing. Dawn is doing a full rebrand of her logo, website and photos. Andrews Photography has helped Dawn out in the past with creative portraits, so its very nice to see her back in the studio. During the phone consultation and review of her new website colors. The goal was to create a fresh look with lite tones and the use of a modeling form as a prop. See the working files from this shoot on our website under featured events.
We will keep you posted when the website does a relaunch

Tips on great Food Photography from Rod Andrew Wilson, Owner and Photographer of Andrews Photography,
1. Have the set ready to go before hand and try using a stand in for the Hero food
2. Food does not stand very long so have it fixed and then shoot it, never eat the food you shoot
3. To get the shine bring a small brush to coat lettuce or food with oil, if you have the budget hire a food stylist
4. Light from the back and reflect the light back into an on the plate
5. Use a tripod and focusing rail if you can

Tip for a great kid photo session. Try and pick a time that your little one is wanting to play and be loved. Perhaps when they are really fresh in the day or just when they seem to be a little more open to try new things. Keep in mind every kid is different and they end up giving you a great pose. Sometimes it is not the pose you want but when their personality shines thru. That print is the one to put on the wall for sure.
Family Sessions Located in Studio or on location, Andrews-Photography
Andrews-Photography, Our Focus is You
Family session tips for winter or the warm months,
So many times we see families struggle with what do we do or what do we wear during the session. Here are a few tips to consider when thinking of your family photo session.
1. If you have kids under the age of 18, Get them involved in the theme or location of the family photo session. If children get involved they take ownership and are proud to be at the shoot. Maybe it boils down to just what shirt they get to pick out or what treat they get to do after the family photo session. This works though ask them something get them involved.
2. location and style of clothing is based on who you are as a family and how you would like the end portrait to represent. Keep your clothing choices to solid or large patterns. Your not selling a clothing line so the focus should be the family interaction, don’t forget those smiles too.
3. kids between 2-14 its play time with the family don’t tell them your going to the photographer and you better smile or else. keep it light and fun let Andrews Photography do the work in getting smiles on those kids faces for you.
We hope this helps you prepare for your next family photo session with Andrews Photography. We have included a few of our past family portraits in and around the twin cities area.
Family mini sessions starting at just $59.00
