Sydney, Natalie & Kody

Feet

I feel feet are another wonderful milestone that should be captured. A childs feet changes so quickly year after year month after month, that a parent has all they can do to keep up with the constant necessity of purchasing new shoes.

Above are a capture of Kody’s and Below are Sydney’s feet, two of my three Children. I am not sure how I missed capturing Natalie’s feet, my third child, but never fear I will be sure to capture them soon.

Kody almost 6 Months

Here is Kody at almost 6 months old!

I decided to take out the umbrella and flash and play around again last night.

Had a blast with the twins. They cooperated about as well as any 6 month olds. At least I managed to get a few great shots. Their Eyes Just light up for me.

Finally Got Dad

Well this is Dad, Convinced him to tag along to a buddies house to check out a sweet M3, and then sprung on him that he had to model. As you can tell is wasn't prepared to be photographed, but we still had a good time.

This was done with Just 1 flash and 1 reflector. Maybe you are as shocked as I was when I saw what can be done with just 1 flash and a reflector.

More to photos to come as I am excited to try more things with my flash and reflector combo.

Christmas Gifts

For Christmas this year I was spoiled. I recieved a background stand, light stands and umbrellas and a reflector with a stand.

With all that gear I headed to my buddies house to practice. Learning what was possible with 1 flash and a reflector. I was amazed.

However, With the use of his flashes in addition to my flash and a reflector we where able to light the background and provide a hair light. Which produced pictures like you see here of Allen.

I am excited to start shooting more portraits of people. So I am looking for volunteers to shoot pictures of, any takers?

My First Off Camera flash meetup I participated and this is one of the photographs I shot. I learned a lot about using 1 flash, an umbrella and reflector. the results where amazing. What I enjoy about this photo is the shadows. I know some may think her face is too dark, but it was the effect I was going for.

Off Camera Flash

One of my first pictures using off camera flash. What a difference! No longer will I have to blind my subjects with harsh on camera flash! So exciting, but I have a lot to learn about lighting!
