By practicing the techniques and strategies, parents will gain confidence in their parenting and, over time, will improve the child’s management of the condition.

Photographing a wedding is one of the most demanding tasks a photographer can undertake. Because of the tremendous import of the event to the couple, their families, and their guests and attendants, there is no room for error. It’s the photographer’s job to get the images the couple expects and to capture those images in a stylish, highly artistic and professional manner as every important minute passes. With countless weddings under his belt, super-shooter Damon Tucci knows what it takes to get the job done. In this book, he presents 60 lessons that show you just what’s expected and precisely how to make it all happen so that you can rest knowing that your couple’s big day will be elegantly and flawlessly chronicled, from start to finish. Beginning with a look into the strategies you’ll need to implement to ensure all of your bases are covered, Tucci gets you up to speed with initial lessons on ensuring the clients are a good fit, conducting an effective and efficient client consultation, and determining the must-have shots. Next, he moves on to cover the equipment needed for the wedding, the need for backups, and tips for paring down to the essentials. Targeted lessons will also show you how to anticipate the big events in the preparations, ceremony, and reception, so you can get all of the money shots that EVERY client demands. You’ll also find plenty of lighting and posing ideas for the bride, groom, attendants, and families, so you can make sure that everyone looks their very best as your chronicle this meaningful and momentous day.

There are many aspects to professional photography: composition, camera angles, exposure, color balance, posing, and lighting— just to name a few. However, while each of these aspects of photography is important in the creation of a professional portrait, lighting presents a special challenge that is part art and part science. When the two come together effectively, the results are stunning; when any one aspect of the recipe falls short, the result is a poor exposure or a downright unflattering look. On the artistic side of the scale, lighting is one of the primary tools for setting the mood of the portrait. It can communicate a sense of bright, airy ease or sharp, dramatic tension—or anything in between. Determining what look is right for the client (and for their intended use of the resulting portraits) is a key decision. From there, the photographer can begin to use light to sculpt the subject’s features, minimizing problem areas or accentuating the subject’s best features through the selection of light modifiers and the positioning of the lights themselves. Moving to the technical side, outdoor lighting present particular challenges—but also some significant advantages. Outdoors, photographers shoot at least partially with natural light. While this is (most of the day) an abundant light source, it is largely out of the control of the photographer. The light can change from moment to moment as clouds pass between the earth and sun. It also changes continually throughout the day as the sun moves across the sky. Since he can’t completely control the light, the photographer must be prepared to adapt his subject’s pose and position to create flattering results with the light as-is. Alternately, the photographer can “tweak” the lighting by augmenting the sunlight with flash or reflectors—or even softening it, using scrim or other diffusers. (Of course, this leaves another major concern: the background. Even if the light on the subject can be perfected, rarely can the photographer also control the light on an area as large as the background—making it a major concern in the process of posing and lighting.) So, given all this, why would any photographer choose to make portraits outside? One advantage is that the lighting and scenes are free—making outdoor photography a great starting point for those entering the field. Even established studios, however, have found that clients simply like the natural, timeless look of outdoor portraits. This makes them strong sellers. Additionally, most portrait subjects are more at ease in natural light than when seated in front of bright, noisy studio-flash units—and relaxed subjects translate into better expressions, and better overall portraits. In this book, Smith takes you through the process or lighting outdoor portraits from start to finish, covering both the artistic and technical aspects of achieving success. Short one- or two-page lessons are amply illustrated to guide the reader through each phase. In many cases, before and after images—or image sequences showing variations and alternative approaches—are presented to facilitate learning. Readers are encouraged to have this book with them during practice sessions and work on replicating or refining the provided examples, creating a self-study course in the art of lighting for outdoor portrait photography.

Since Muriel Zink began her own recovery work over thirty years ago, many people in self-help and anonymous recovery programs have shared their concern with her about finding concrete, practical ways to use the Twelve Step model, developed originally by Alcoholics Anonymous. In STEP BY STEP, Muriel devotes each month of the year to an in-depth exploration of one of the Twelve Steps, with daily entries. The steps are presented in the chronological order of the months, though any of the meditations can be used out of sequence. No matter where we are in our recovery, these wise, inspiring messges and meditations can help us "step" our way to healthier, more productive lives. From the Trade Paperback edition.
