Success!

I had a big photos session with my friend Chante and her three gorgeous daughters on Presidents Day. It lasted two hours and forty minutes. I took 400+ photos and after processing and a little bit of adjustment on shadows, sharpness and blemishes, they look fantastic. I decided that February 29th is the very last time I don't charge for my photos. Obviously there will be some exceptions, but that's it. It is four days away and then I hope to start making a little money at this. I really like taking pictures. It's still nerve wracking but I love it. I purchased two brown sheets for backdrops for boys in particular. Now I need to ask someone to make me a platform I can use to raise my subjects off the floor and make it so I don't have to lay on the floor in order to look up at them. So I will ask the husband of a friend of mine and see what happens. I guess I also need to pay for a business licence now too. Here are some of the shots I took.

Mr Unco-operative!

My son, king of all things unco-operative, was a little less unco-operative than usual today. He knew I wanted spring pictures of him and his sister so he helped me a bit. But, he was in a rush, so I had to accept the opportunity I was given and make the quickest best of it. So here we are....

I love these actually they really have picked out his personality; from happy and sweet, to cheeky and moody. All things lovely about my son!

Johnson Shoot

Saturday saw me borrowing my friend Michelle's daughter for an impromptu practice shoot. Always fun, her daughter was most helpful with following instructions too. Thank heavens for that. Here are some of the photos from that shoot.

Herre shoot

Just looking at these gorgeous girls, I knew this was going to be a great shoot. Little Sarah was much more amenable than I thought she would be having hidden and cried every time I had so much as looked at her before. She was such a good girl. This was lots of fun and the girls really helped with following the instructions I gave them. Here are some examples of the shots I took.

 

I have not posted the best quality photos. Saves on post editing stealing really. Hope you like them. Feel free to register and follow the blog and comment. But please be constructive. Constructive criticism is usually accepted and very helpful.
