This is the sky we had last night for a photo shoot I did with one of our pastor's and his family. It was the first time I ever did six people at once, and I have so much to learn. I had invited them to do this so that I could practice, and I will be practicing more. Know any other families of five or six who what their photos taken so I can practice? I really want to get this down.
We started earlier, with more light, but unfortunately lots of wind - and four long blond haired beautiful girls. The wind was a negative factor, but I still think we got a couple of good ones. Then, as the light began to fade in earnest the wind disappeared, so we pushed it and got a few more. This was fun! I don't have any samples to show you because I haven't worked through all 200 photos yet, and I don't have the family's permission yet. But hopefully I'll be able to post a couple samples over the next week!
Off on a kid hike for a picnic by a creek with a friend. Tomorrow: scrapbooking if at all possible! Then, camping for the weekend. As summer dwindles down, I'm excited about all we get to do, but it sure is busy!

Beautiful sky! If I lived closer I would let you practice on my family of 5! Can't wait to see your photos! Have a great trip!
actually we both know a family of 8, or is it 9 now? ;)
also, taking portraits outdoors can be challenging. ive been following maxwax's blog (hes in a christian band and a photo geek) and hes talked alot about his techniques for outdoor pics using external flashes/lightboxes, and he has some awesome results:
