senior portrait practice








I had a blast practicing with this beautiful girl! She dances at my parents studio- so I asked if she wouldn't mind letting me practice a senior photo shoot with her- and it was so much fun! I had a hard time narrowing it down, so here are quite a few pictures we took today.

Sweet Baby JJ and more!




These are a few pictures from a photo shoot of my sweet little nephew J.J. It was so fun to capture some pictures of a newborn! Thanks Lindy for letting me come!


And these are J.J.'s older siblings who are very proud of their new baby brother! They were also very cooperative for this photo shoot- and a whole lot of fun to take pictures of! thank you thank you!

practice series 1-aperture


Settings: ss 1/20 fstop 13 iso 1600Settings: ss 1/160 fstop 4 iso 1600

Ok, so I am working on improving my understanding of exposure- so I decided to work my way through a book I bought about six months ago called Understanding Exposure, and for my own record keeping, and hopefully some progress tracking I will post some results from each assignment. I hope to gain a more clear understanding of how all the settings work together, and how to achieve properly exposed images on a regular basis, instead of getting lucky here and there!
This was the first assignment- working with aperture settings. I set the ring next to the stapler to see if I would notice an object that close going out of focus, and sure enough it did.
