Monday and a photo shoot! #277

FUN!!  On Monday after school I spent a couple of hours taking photos of my dear friends Jennifer and Brian and their totally cute kids.  It was fun and exciting.  I think I got some pretty good shots.  I learned a lot about taking portrait shots.  First, it becomes easier when you know your location and the best spots and angles to shoot.  Second, a flash would be helpful to alleviate shadows.  Third, if you know what you are doing you probably don’t have to take a million shots!  I took a million shots!  Many of them were essentially the same – good or bad.  Also, I imagine that many would use adobe photo shop to review and improve their shots.  I don’t have adobe photo shop and I probably don’t have the time it would take to learn to use it – it would involve playing with it.  HOWEVER, my friend Julie has it and is willing to share it with me so maybe I will find the time and figure it out.  I just use my basic windows photo program with it’s basic adjustments.  hmmm… I don’t know if there is a difference.  Anyway!  Here is my favorite  …. well, one three of them!

I really enjoyed their family and the fun of photographing them.  They are sweet and nice and Jennifer says things like, “All children should have the opportunity to be someone’s treasure.”  I love that!  I love them and look forward to seeing them again soon!  Maybe some spring pictures?

  1. Denise, Thank you so much! I love the photo of Nate with all of us looking at him! That truly captures our family dynamics at this time in our lives, he is our little prince, and I am so happy to have that photo of us! You did a great job and were so energetic and fun! If you can take pictures of us, you can take pictures of anybody!
