One of my daily reads is Click it up a Notch. She has a great feature on her blog called “What did you learn” where you can post an image, send her a link and ask her readers to critique you. So this post is really for that reason. 😉 Critique away…
In this session I learned to slow down. I know that is so basic but when photographing kids it’s a hard balance to take the time and get the settings you want and to keep shooting and not miss anything. I sometimes struggle with “can I fix this later” but I am really working towards getting things right in camera.
As soon as this adorable little girl hit the grown she started running. I arrived at the location early set my setting for the light and thought I was good to go but I also made the challenge to myself that if I needed to stop and adjust I was going to do that. The first images were a bit blurry because she was running. Normally I would try to make some adjustments in camera as I’m shooting but this time I stopped and really thought about what I needed to change and I am so happy I did.

Hi, I’m Tiff!
I’m the photographer behind Appletini Photography, a portrait studio based in Yardley, PA, serving families and businesses across Bucks County. For more than a decade, I’ve had the joy of capturing heartfelt images — from newborn photography and family portraits to professional headshots and branding photography. My goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel authentic, joyful, and worth holding onto for generations.
Over the years I’ve photographed thousands of moments for families throughout Yardley, Morrisville, and the surrounding Bucks County community, helping parents preserve the fleeting stages of childhood and the connections that make their family unique. I believe a photograph never grows up — and that the images we create today become tomorrow’s heirlooms.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m wearing one of my many hats: wife, mom, cat mom, aunt, best friend, and enthusiastic coffee drinker. I’m usually planning a themed party, crafting something creative, traveling somewhere new, getting lost in a good book, or laughing until my cheeks hurt.
Through this blog, I love sharing photography tips, local Bucks County family resources, behind-the-scenes stories from sessions, and inspiration for families preparing for portraits. I’m so glad you’re here.
