Recently, I helped my dear friend Aspen by taking some photos for her Senior portraits. I had a lot of trouble with the lighting-it was TOO sunny for faces and most of the day was squinting. But it was educational, and someday I'll be better at taking photos because of it. These few turned out really good, and she looks lovely.
Isn't she lovely? This girl is full of sass!
You have such great style! Love the photos!! Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really hard to take photos when the sun is just so dang sunny! I've been there! My friends let me take pictures of them right after their son was born and I may have blinded them.
ReplyDeleteIt really is difficult!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great start and fun for seniors! Lighting is always the trickiest part. Took me years to get this and I still struggle with it. I carry my reflector with me every where I go to help with the squinting and the shadows. I always need a buddy to help. Too hard to shoot alone. Looks like a really fun shoot!
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely! A tip for full sun is to face your subject so that their back is to the sun, keeps them from squinting :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Just keep at it, you're there :)

Going out and shooting is the best form of experience. You learn a little every single time.
ReplyDeleteIt's true. I learn from the days that don't work just as much or maybe more than the days that do.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, she is lovely.
love these
ReplyDeleteUgh, harsh shadows are THE WORST! I did one of my first shoots in a setting like that and it was no good. I did learn a lot! I now only schedule shoots at 7:00 in the evening!
ReplyDeleteSuch great pictures! Congrats to the grad.

Love the photos! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous photos! And a beautiful lady :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteThat's the park by my house, it's so pretty there!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and she is. :)
ReplyDeleteTrue! If we'd done it later or a lot earlier it would be so much better.
ReplyDeleteVery true, and thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteSo so so true.
ReplyDeleteYeah we tried a few of those, but I just couldn't get my exposure right with it so bright behind them.
ReplyDeleteI have a reflector, but dumb me didn't use it.. Also you're right, it's too hard alone!
