VictoriaWestPhotography | The Blog bio picture
  • Welcome!

  • Hello and welcome to my blog! This is the place to see my most recent work along with updates on what's new.

    I'm a New Brunswick photographer based in Saint John. I specialize in newborn and child portraiture. I love color, texture, light, old barns, open fields, sleepy babies, eyes and close ups.

    I absolutely love what I do! It's more than a job it's my passion. I'm always striving to improve, always looking for great new locations and props, and always looking for that shot that captures the perfect moment.

Camera Basics Seminar

Where? UNB SJ, Irving Hall, room 101
When? Feb 15, 6:30 – 9pm

What is this seminar about?

Just the basics! Any camera is capable of taking a good photo, so I’m going to teach you the basic principles behind it. Topics will be covered in a VERY easy to understand way, and I won’t be bombarding you with tons of technical information. Keeping it simple and giving you real life situations and examples will help you apply your new found knowledge.

Topics we’ll touch on will be exposure, aperture, focus, metering, ISO, lighting, composition and creativity.

What this seminar is not…

Because of the large range of cameras, this class will not be about teaching you how to find every setting on your camera. That’s what your manual is for!
This class is not for anyone who has already taken formal photography classes. My simpleton explanations are sure to make you cringe. Beginners only!

FAQ

I only have a point & shoot camera. Is this for me?

It’ll be easier to take control of your camera if you have a dslr, but point and shoot owners can benefit from this class just as much!

What should I bring?

Bring your camera, lenses and manual (if you still have it).

What is the cost?

The cost will be $39 per person. Payment will be due by Feb 8th. Email money transfers can be sent to victoria@victoriawestphotography.com, please set the password as basics. Money orders or cheques can be made out to Victoria West and mailed or dropped off to 49 Harmony Drive, Saint John, NB E2J 2W2.

How do I sign up?

Please email Victoria to secure your spot, victoria@victoriawestphotography.com. Spaces are limited.

Thomas! {Saint John, NB Newborn Photographer}

January has been a very busy baby month!  Here’s another sweet arrival.

9 days old

Emily! {Saint John, NB Grad Portrait Photographer}

Who says you can’t do outdoor sessions in January? With the winter we’ve had, it still looks like late fall!

I had lots of fun shooting this session. It’s rare that I get to do grads but I love it when I do. They’re always up for anything and I never have to bribe them with candy;)Hope you like your preview Emily!

Chase! {Saint John, NB Newborn Photographer}

Meet the first Saint John baby of 2012! Chase was 9 days old at our session. An adorable, furry little man just like his big brother Carson. Congratulations J & E on your new addition!

Milah! {Saint John, NB Newborn Photographer}

Sweet baby girl Milah. At only 6 days old she was a very alert baby! Of course at such a young age there’s not much chance of them staying awake for the entire session so I was able to get lots of sleepy shots. Check out the eye contact she gave me! Too cute!
