		<title>Thekdi Family &#8211; Life Session Family Portraits</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I've been sharing more about the non wedding photography I like to do (namely family photos), I think it's hitting folks that photography isn't just about the big moments in your life, it's about all the moments in between. And so it's nice to do family portraits...for no other reason than, "just because".]]></description>

		<title>Ready, Set, Click!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following up on the previous two posts, I wanted to quickly provide more info on some common camera settings that can go a long way towards better photos. I'll stay away from too many details since there's a lot already on the web, but these simple tips should be easy enough to keep in mind when out and about.]]></description>

		<title>I want better vacation photos!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don't know about you, but before a vacation, I know I'm guilty of thinking I'm going to take the most amazing &#038; artistic photos. Something I can put as my computer desktop wallpaper and maybe even enlarge and frame on my living room wall. For a travel photographer, this may well be pretty common, but as an average person, I think it's an unrealistic goal. That's not to say you won't be able to take amazing photos, but the idea that you're going to be the next great travel photographer in your spare time is something you should just admit is not going to happen.]]></description>

		<title>I need a new camera! Now what?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I'm not the one who needs a new camera. However, with summer holidays fast approaching, I have friends and family who come to me for advice on the best gear to get before they head out for their vacations. It's no surprise that people wonder which camera will be best for whatever situation comes along. Whether it be a smiling child, roaring lion, or creepy alien visitor. There must be a camera for every scenario, right?]]></description>

		<title>Outdoor Couples Portraits &#8211; A Learning Session</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month I lead an outdoor portrait workshop with colleagues. Since it's something I'm quite familiar with, I felt I could help others learn some tricks to taking better outdoor portraits. I sent a closed invitation to folks and had 11 people join me in San Francisco for two locations. Since this was the first time I'd be leading an organized group like this, I tried to break things down as much as possible to make sure I could actually deliver against what I was offering to my students.]]></description>

		<title>Little Sophia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Besides Wedding Photography, I&#8217;ve gotta say that I just love photographing children. I don&#8217;t do as many children and family photoshoots as weddings, but the fact that I&#8217;ve got a 2-year girl at home means I spend a lot of time photographing children! These are just a few photos of my little one&#8230;we were taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photography Workshops &#8211; a simmering controversy</title>

I recently wrote a guest article about a controversy going on right now in the world of wedding photographers. To provide some background, there are a [...]]]></description>

We got to try out some new spots on that beautiful summer afternoon so it made for some wonderful moments.

While it&#8217;s not as popular nowadays as it has been in the past, it still provides some really classic elements like the columns you see in the background of the first photo. There are also great little spots around campus which provide [...]]]></description>
