Hi Ashley, which camera do you shoot?
@@Bellesons Hi! I use the Canon 5D Mark 4 🙌🏽
Nice video! You sound very clear and succinct talking to the camera. Keep it up!
@@noahbar-shain4218 thank you so much😊
Your memory cards aren't going to affect image quality.
@@R3fuge in my experience it can affect the processing of them depending on the speed ratings. I’ve personally seen a small difference in quality as I’ve used different memory cards.
@@byashleymia If the memory card is affecting the data that's written to the card, it's broken. Bandwidth is really only a concern with high transfer speeds (eg: high burst rate or expensive video like prores or raw 4k+ video over 400mb/s)
God bless you. In this world you will face many challenges. Hold onto Jesus. He is the way.
Absolutly! I will definitely have to book a call with you sooner or later.
@@DreamyRewindPhotos Yes yes! Would love to meet you and answer any of your photo questions 🙌🏽
Oh my goodness, hello! I adore your approach to portrait photography and editing style. I'm definitely subscribing to you....💖
@@DreamyRewindPhotos awww thank you so much! So happy you’re here 😊
#1 is too real - my first business card had my phone number and i had to change that real quick haha.
@@mkpetros yes same! It was not the best move at all! 😅Thanks for watching 😊
I like her hairstyle and glasses!
Disagree. Put the camera in Auto and tell it what you're shooting. The camera will take a better photo than anyone if it knows what it's shooting.
Will you be at the Inaging USA in Dallas TX in February
@@Ceci-7 👋🏽 hi, No I won’t.
I SEE WHY!! WOW!!❤❤❤ you and your sister are gorgeous, but these photos are out of this world. Keep it up lovely queens ❤

hey just found your page this is my first video I watched from you and I LOVE IT !!!! I AM ALSO a small TH-camr and beginner photographer. just got my flash for the camera and its not digital so I've been hearing things about pointing the flash away so the light is not so hard which you did in this video and I LOVE your results . Can you please do a video breaking down how you use your flash ? if not I understand keep the videos coming !!!<3
@@MommyOswalt hi💛 thank you so much for your kind words towards my video!! And ooo yes I can get to work on a flash video. What type of flash and camera do you use?
@@byashleymia I have a Godox Wireless 433MHz GN33 Camera Flash Speedlite with Built-in Receiver with RT Transmitter
Thank you again for all these amazing videos! I have loved photography for so long and I love how you give real life tips and advice especially for those who are on a budget! For so long I’ve been taking photos of families etc and never charging just cause I simply loved it for so long thinking of turning it into a business mom of 6 over here and I’m just getting ready to chase my dream, you have been lovely to watch because I love how real you are. Thank you! Canon user here too so I love hearing about all the canon cameras and lenses flashes etc Keep these coming!! Can you consider doing a video of computers that are good within a decent price range for photo editing to start with if you have any suggestions? Thanks 😊
@@elysenicole4433 wow this comment made my day! 🥲 thank you so much for your kindness! I appreciate it so much! I’ll get to work on making a video on computers/laptops to get for editing 😊
@ of course I mean it! You have been a blessing to watch! I love watching your videos keep up the good work! thank you! Have a blessed day!
I Have A Canon T4i Myself And A EOS 70D..Both Are Good Cameras..And Like You Said Before The Lenses That You Invest In Is What Helps You Take Beautiful Photos...
@@darylbanks7790 both of those cameras are amazing!
Thank you! Great video👏
@@YoungDecent1 you’re so welcome!!✨
Cool
Too much talent
@@DESIGNS-vo1mt thank you so much!!
this is beautiful ❤
@@viviennelemieux7585 thank you so much 😊
Good work Ashley...That camera of yours is a MONSTER, and holds up to 98% of any mirrorless in the world. That was a series of cameras that will last for at least 30 years, maybe getting the shutter replaced, if need be. .. I had a Sony A series and my son broke it, so I went to MD with a borrowed T3,and LOVED it. Then I went full frame yet went for the Pentax K1 MK2 , for the low light, the build, the astro photography, IBIS, the movable screen, etc,etc.. Now I went and bought 2 SONY little babies that do 4k, since their cameras are made for toddler hands, and of course I have Canon film cameras,one that is the first film camera they made with AF. All you need to learn are the basics, get some good glass, and walk around, so being in NYC is a wide open canvas... One of my homegirls has the Canon you have, i think. WE havent gone outside to shoot together yet..
Im saying tho , The 5. FLECTOR is on point .. 😅😅 Nice review 🤌👌
@@BenelyLohizo hahaha thank you! I leave all the correct tech words to those that know! Lol
Keep making these amazing videos! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I appreciate your open transparency to help us new photographers out! Keep it up!
What do you think about the R5? .love your videos ❤
I would suggest the R5 II, because the first one was a EASYBAKE OVEN...It would heat up, shut down,and then you wait until it cools off..NOT what you want if you're shooting weddings or anything that cannot be done over..
Needed this. Keep being the light that you are friend 💕💕
@@onyekaumeadi9453 🥲 thank you sis💕🫶🏽
This is so true! I love doing so many things, and I finally feel ok with that. Thank u, so glad this popped up on my feed! 😊

I have a Canon Rebel T3i and I am going into brand photography and portraits. Do you have a good lens or 2 that you recommend? And do you think the camera is still good enough for me to make money until I can upgrade?? Thanks for responding

@@BecomingZakah Hi! Yes that’s the same camera I started with. I would suggest a 50 mml f/1.8. It’s very affordable, great portrait lens, and gives you beautiful depth of field. I believe that this camera is definitely good enough until you upgrade. Your editing is where you can create your style and distinction ✨ I hope this helps!
Cute ☺️(except the shoes)
Nice to see your work Sierra. I can see what you do on your shooting scenes. What Al Green songs Love,Peace, and Happiness. You look so happy of what you do! Take Care!
Love all the dance breaks in between! 😂
I’m still on a high from this day! U did your thing!!!!! I will thank you a million times for capturing me for the first time with curly hair and making me feel absolutely beautiful! So excited for our next one!!!
@@sierralafaye we had a timeee okay?!! So happy to complete another shoot together! You killed it also! 💛🫶🏽 can’t wait for the next one!!
Looking good keep the positive vibes kicking😎😎😎
such a cool video. love seeing the bts of creative work.
@@naeadjoa thank you so much! And same!!!
Thank you for the tips. I’ll try it out on my next session. Appreciate the time and effort you put into the video.
@@Apollos2023 you’re so welcome! Thanks for watching 😊
A few years ago I decided to treat myself to full frame with an original 6D. Didn't feel like going up to the 5D, although I had seen lots of TH-camrs using them and knew a few of their features. I find the 6D fine for my personal hobby. Considering that you upgraded from one to the other, a follow-up post contrasting the two models with attention to how their differences impacted your use and results might make a good supplement. Did you find the ergonomics significantly better, the colors/resolution/low-light performance/image quality notably better? The 6D has a simple, almost sparse autofocus pattern compared to the more sophisticated 5D - did the upgrade improve your shooting experience or success rate? How would you map your growth to the camera features, what aspect(s) did you find most beneficial that you could use to make recommendations to others? It would be interesting to see the details behind all that enthusiasm!
The painting u mailed 😍🤌🏽
Ahhhh thank you💕
