I got a new camera in December and so I spent most of the month experimenting and practicing. My kids were all overdue for portraits, as I think school pictures are way overpriced and they never turn out nice...so I didn't buy them. But my husband has been asking for family pictures to put up in his office for a long time now, so I decided that would be a great Christmas gift for him.
So I set up the studio: duct tape brown blanket to kitchen bar, move kitchen table out of the way, wash sliding glass window for lighting, find tripod....Wah Lah!
I was very pleased with the results, as they were better than any school pictures I've ever seen (if I do say so myself), and cheaper, too! Here are some of my favorites:
By the time it was Brynlee's turn, she wasn't in the mood. This was my best shot, although it is blurry, so I couldn't use it.
She was happy to hold still so that I could take a picture of her beloved tear, though.
We don't have any pictures of just the two of us as a couple, so that weekend, I had my photographer brother, Braxton shoot some pictures of us in his studio. He took a bunch of pictures, and they all turned out awesome, of course. Here are some of my favorites:
