Bridesmaids 101 – You’re engaged! Things to consider before you choose your bridesmaids

2012-01-31T20:19:00.000-05:00

He asked the big question and you said YES!

But who should you ask to join you on your big day? Here are some things to consider before you choose your bridesmaids.

Numbers
Most wedding planners recommend a bridesmaid for every 50 guests in attendance. If you have a small wedding, it might look odd to have four or five bridesmaids next to you. On the other hand, for a big wedding, it might look less formal to only have one maid of honor. Either way, it’s always nice to have a matching number of bridesmaids and groomsmen, so take your fiancé’s expectations into consideration as well.

Etiquette
Once you have a number in mind, be sure you don’t ruffle any feathers. If you have sisters, they should always be included, even if you don’t get along that well. It’s perfectly okay to have your best friend as your maid of honor, but it’s rude to leave family members out of the bridal party.

Reliability
You probably have lots of dear friends that you would love to share your big day with, but keep in mind that you will rely on them for many things—least of all looking polished for pictures and the ceremony, and most of all—moral support. If you have friends that are chronically late, will insist on casual footwear or tend to get excessively tipsy, think twice about including them in your day. (You will regret it.)

The Proposal
You have chosen your special friends who will stand next to you on your big day, but it’s still appropriate to ask them to honor you in this way. After all, it is a big commitment of time and money for them, so a more formal request goes a long way. Consider inviting them all to a special night out, or giving them a personal gift like this one.

All Dolled Up Promotion

2012-01-30T21:45:00.002-05:00

All Dolled Up!

2012-01-30T19:53:00.001-05:00

This weekend we had two beautiful girls come in for a photo shoot with their dolls. First, they had their hair done at Hair Essentials (right next door).

Then, the fun began! We took so many pictures of these girls and their dolls, here are some of my favorites!

Stay tuned! We will be having an 'All Dolled Up!' Promotion soon!

Girl Scouts

2012-01-21T22:35:00.000-05:00

We had a wonderful time with the Girl Scouts this past week! The girls seemed to have fun dressing up and asked so many good questions! Here are some pictures from that day. To learn more about the Girl Scouts, visit this website: http://www.girlscouts.org/

It's snowing!

2012-01-21T13:39:00.002-05:00

It's a beautiful snowy day out there! Anyone want some outdoor winter portraits? These are the kind of days when I love being in New Hampshire. It's just so magical.

"J's" session

2012-01-18T22:29:00.001-05:00

J has turned 6 months, so it's time for another session! It is amazing how quickly they grow. He's adorable!

Discrete Trial Teaching workshop

2012-01-10T09:38:00.001-05:00

http://youtu.be/EUA4Q5aoG74 Hi everyone! I am busy this week working on a workshop on Discrete Trial Teaching. This really has nothing to do with photography, but it is a huge part of my other job. Anyway, Discrete Trial Teaching falls inder the Applied Behavior Analysis umbrella which is best known within the Autism Community. I am finding that my masters in Applied Behavior Analysis does impact the photography business as much as it does my day job. This was surprising to me at first. In my search for clips on priming, I came across this video which I have seen before. I forgot about just how interesting it is! Hope you enjoy it. Let me know your thoughts. :)

Informational Tidbits - SAT/ACT

2012-01-05T19:07:00.003-05:00

Prepping for the SAT and ACT? Ace college entrance exams the first time with these easy tips and tricks!

PREPARATION

• Use Collegeboard.org’s SAT daily question email to get one sample test question in your inbox every day. It’s a simple, less overwhelming way to get your brain warmed up for the real thing. It’s also available as an iphone app! http://sat.collegeboard.org/practice/sat-question-of-the-day
• Take a test prep class. Kaplan offers courses that are tailored to the SAT or the ACT. Check out their website: http://www.kaptest.com/College/SAT/index.html
• Use a tutor to help you target your weakest subject.

TESTING

• Make sure you bring a watch, and don’t linger on one question longer than two or three minutes.
• Answer the easier questions first and go back to answer the hard ones last.
• Use the process of elimination to give yourself better odds on each question. If you know two answers aren’t right, that gives you a 50% chance of getting the right answer instead of only 25%.
• If you have to guess, the answer with the most information is usually correct.
• Never leave an answer blank. You should at least guess one of the options, because leaving it blank guarantees that you get it wrong.
• If you read the question and come up with the answer before reading the multiple choice options, this will help you avoid getting confused by “all of the above” or “none of the above” type of situations.
• Trust your first instinct—it’s usually correct!

Happy Testing!

Photo day

2011-12-31T23:02:00.002-05:00

Mom (Terry) and I spent a day traveling along the coast taking pictures for a calendar we do every year. The water and sky were amazing! We lucked out! Also, this year we were able to get Nubble Light all lit up. Last year we went and waited.... and waited... and waited.... but it never came on. Glad we captured it this year!

Merry Christmas 'C'!

More Portraits from our beach week

The 'J' family

2011-08-29T21:49:00.002-04:00

We were luckily enough to squeeze this family portrait right before Irene visited. They were able to move up their session and we finished about 15 minutes before the rain began! They are such a wonderful family!

Beach Portrait Week

2011-08-29T11:19:00.001-04:00

Portsmouth is just such a beautiful city to wander around in with a camera

Irene

2011-08-29T11:05:00.006-04:00

We made it through the storm! Luckily we were able to stay at the beach through it which was a lot of fun. We went out and braved the storm to take some photos. Here are a few we took. :)

We took this one to show just how big the waves were. We are not as brave as the people in the picture. You need to respect the ocean, especially when it's this rough.

We found where all of the seagulls went! They seemed to be all hanging out across the street in the marshes.

The ocean seems relatively calm here, but it is in an cove, so it's very protected.

Ooops. I guess it's not as calm as people hoped.

Beach Portraits!

2011-08-25T23:25:00.003-04:00

This week we've been busy doing beach portraits! It's been such a success (with the exception of today, rained out). Here is a sneak peak of a session we did with these two adorable siblings. We had a fantastic time with this family, as always!

It's been too long....

2009-11-14T14:25:00.005-05:00

So, it's be too long since I've posted anything on our blog and I do appologize for that. Here are a few portraits from some of our sessions. Hopefully I'll be able to add more as the day goes on today.

More seniors....

Beach session

2009-09-19T15:05:00.003-04:00

This is one of my favorites! I don't know if it's because I love the ocean or what, but I do love beach sessions! This poor girl was FREEZING during this session and it was very windy but she was such a good sport.

2010 seniors

2010 Seniors!

2009-08-24T12:30:00.004-04:00

We've been a little behind in posting to our blog lately... I guess being busy is a good thing. Anyway, we have had a bunch of wonderful seniors here at TerryHill Photography and have had a lot of fun with them. Here are a few recent ones. One of them is done with watercolors. Enjoy!

We had so much fun with C&R!
