Here are a couple of shots I took of my nieces from our photo shoot. They teased me that I was “all legit” with my lenses, camera case, and speedlite. I assured them that I was not and still had a lot to learn. But we had a great time and we got some good shots (if I do say so myself) out of it.
Here are all three sisters together. They haven’t had portraits together in years.
Now the main reason for this excursion was for one of them to get her senior portraits taken. Here are a couple.
We did these at 2 pm and the light was way too harsh, but it was the only time we could all get together and have someone watch the kids for me. I thought of using a reflector to try to soften the hard shadows, but the light was so bright. Reflecting any of it in her face just wasn’t an option. So we made do and I made some post processing compensations. I think they turned out well, but I am biased. Beautiful niece and my own photographs.
I am very proud and blessed to have these girls in my life. Too bad they were all so little when I married their uncle. Boo hoo.
They are beautiful...the pictures and your nieces!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! Love the pictures!
ReplyDeleteI think they turned out beautiful!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girls, indeed. I had the same problem with lighting. I took the boat shots right before noon. The light was very harsh, especially with the reflection from the water.
ReplyDeleteI really like the three different post processes that you used. Each evoke a different emotion.
PS I laughed at the "legit" comment.
Love the second shot - I'm loving BW processing right now.
ReplyDeleteYou did great! Love these shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful girls! Love the black and white!
ReplyDeleteYou're nieces are beautiful, and the photos turned out really nice. In the first photo, your niece in front has very mesmerizing green eyes lol.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous are your nieces???? And the shots are so good. The one of her in the grass is perfection. Wow!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like these a lot. It looks like you figured out how to work with the light (or edit really well). I like the black and white one too.
ReplyDeleteWOW- you did a great job! What beautiful girls!
ReplyDeleteThese shots are so, so awesome! Ok--I have a photo nerd question--what aperture did you shoot with in that first portrait of the three of them lined up against the wall? Each and every one of their faces is so sharp in focus; seriously, you are totally legit! :D
ReplyDeleteBeautiful girls, and your photos are lovely! Nicely done ;)
