Right before Paul and I were engaged – and I probably had baby fever – we were talking about getting a dog. One day we went to Petsmart and found Pete! Well, not long after we adopted Pete were newly married AND expecting a baby. Through two new babies, Pierson, running a business, Paul and […]

When I am shooting babes – I notice how pink/red/purple their skin can be. I just wanted to show a quick post of how I change the color balance for a newborn photo. Here is the original file – shot raw with settings: ISO 400, SS 1/640s, and f/2.8 I open in Adobe Camera Raw […]

You’re just amazing for sharing all these tips with other photographers! Thank you for the time you spend to share that incredible knowledge!
You’re very creative.
p.s. love the headband… notice you were wearing it in another post–I’m gonna try to get my daughter to wear mine too! 😉September 23, 2011 – 8:48 pm
This is SO very helpful:-) Thanks a lot!!September 13, 2011 – 9:49 am
I appreciate your candid sharing so much! I’m just an amateur but I am continually inspired by your work. You are amazingly talented, but you also have a gift for teaching. Posts like this, your posing post, your camera bag post and of course your amazing birth story post keep me coming back for more. Thank you for sharing MORE than just your final product with us!September 11, 2011 – 1:42 pm
Arden, I follow your photography through fb, as I have always had an interest in the art. I’m a “dabbler”, though, as cake design has always been the primary channel for my artistic expression. So I find it incredibly generous, that you share your photo tutorials, as it removes the guessing work for those of us who appreciate producing a more refined photo, without being a pro. Tips and techniques are merely ingredients, but the true “secret” in the recipe of your success is your vision. Thanks for realizing your talent and style remain yours, even in sharing your knowledge!September 11, 2011 – 11:48 am

Love your fine art edit – it’s gorgeous. This is so super helpful – I just hope I can end up with awesome results like yours. 🙂 I will be shooting my first newborn session this week and find all of your posts so helpful! Thanks for sharing so much.September 11, 2011 – 9:46 am
I was in a talkative mood – on the FB page and asked if anyone had any Qs for me. Well, I got some decent feedback – and decided to put them in a post… so I didn’t have answers scattered everywhere! Here are what some peeps asked: One thing I’ve noticed when you post […]

I met you through pinterest and I love your style in pictures and posts, follow you in FB now, you’re very natural and open with your work.
Thanks! I really enjoy it.November 11, 2011 – 2:04 pm
Found you on Inspire Me Baby and have gotten totally lost in your blog! Gorgeous work! Thank you for being generous with your information!September 28, 2011 – 9:59 am
Thank you so much for this Arden! I have been experimenting with higher SS and ISOs, this post has given me the extra bit of confidence I need :]September 9, 2011 – 10:14 am
Thank you so much for this post! I am so hungry to learn and it helps to have someone spell it all out. I listened to the interview you posted and heard what you said about getting a mentor. I so wish that I had that, but for now, I can only be taught online by other photogs willing to post tutorials. So thank you for taking the time to help!September 9, 2011 – 9:07 am
Thank you Arden. You are a wonderful teacher!September 8, 2011 – 7:38 pm
holy WOW! I just checked out the noiseware software you suggested – umm, I might have to get that cause it’s INSANE!! (I hate noise, kinda with a passion). I think I might be more comfortable with shooting in higher ISOs (I have a good camera for ISO, but I’m so afraid of it that I don’t even want to bump it higher than 500 even though I know it can handle way more)
Thanks for sharing all your fun tips and tricks! Love it!September 8, 2011 – 3:54 pm
Seriously… think about hosting a workshop…I’d pay to see you!!September 8, 2011 – 3:18 pm
Great Q&A Arden! Your blog-post are always enjoyable to read 😉September 8, 2011 – 3:12 pm
Arden, you HAVE to be one of the nicest and most down to earth gals ever! Thanks for…being you!September 8, 2011 – 3:02 pm
So I have to say FIRST… before the long story and before even MORE photos… Please watch this slideshow. Heather Essian – my amazing friend and photographer – put this together. She asked me to ‘pick a song.’ I chose ‘This Woman’s Work’ by Kate Bush. If any of you have seen ‘She’s Having a […]

You are the most amazing inspirational woman I know!August 15, 2013 – 7:46 pm
That’s selfish of you to put you’re baby’s life at risk like that. Home births have have triple the mortality rate. Consider yourself lucky.March 13, 2013 – 1:13 pm
This literally brought tears to my eyes! Gorgeous!August 13, 2012 – 10:51 am
I am literally crying with joy seeing these pictures. So beautiful and so inspiring:)April 18, 2012 – 4:09 pm
Wow this is such a precious birth story it really makes me feel like I too can have a VBAC and maybe even a HBAC. I also had my first pregnancy induced ending up in a c-section something I wish,hope, and pray to avoid this time around thank you so much for sharing.February 27, 2012 – 12:42 pm
