Here They Come To Save The Day!

How refreshing. You know, to get a break from the family portraits where everyone is wearing white tops and khakis. I mean there's nothing really wrong with that. But cameras are so good at capturing color. I like color. That's all I'm gonna say about that. So, factor in color, and a family that just has a great time together and here is what you get.

It's Hard To Go Wrong

As much as photography is about composition, lighting, technique, all of that is for naught if you don't have a beautiful subject to photograph. That's one of the reasons that I enjoy family portraits. What's more worthy of capturing than a beautiful family and all that the institution of family represents; love, commitment, joy, struggle, victory, love (I meant to do that). So with that in mind here are my long time friends and please contact me for booking your next family photos.

Around The House

Wow it's been a long time since posting. Life has been . . . well . . . interesting. So, now 4 1/2 months into being laid off I am trying to catch up on the photography that I've been doing. This was a great session with a great family. They had family in town and it was great to capture the generations.

We started working inside the house. I looked around and was drawn to the light in the kitchen. The sun was high and it was pouring soft light in through the windows in the dining room to the right and from the sliders leading to the porch to the left. I had them turn on the recessed lighting and hanging lights. Then I added 2 strobes. One for key light on the subjects and one to fill in some dark areas behind and to the left. This was definitely an exercise in balancing flash and ambient light. I love the pose above leaning on the kitchen counters.

Then we moved outside and dealt with the heat and high sun raining in through the oaks. But we got some fun shots with natural Florida as the backdrop.

Great Friends, Beautiful Kids

The tough thing about this one is just deciding which photos to post. So here are a bunch of them. Some black and white, some color. Some use strobes some are just natural evening light on the beach. We enjoy a visit with these special people.
