We start with an idea. Study the Bible story. Do a story board with photo ideas. Then we bring the actors on to the stage or the photographer to the zoo. For the “Queen Esther” banquet scene, there was no better way to transport a king than in a chariot! Next, many photos are taken. Sometimes the actors are coached and sometimes candid photos are taken and used. We use props and costumes whenever possible. The book is inserted into the layout along with the touched up photos. Edit, edits, and more editing after reviews from friends and family. Finally, it is off to the printer!
