A friend in the ward asked if I would take some family pictures for her, and I gladly obliged. It's fun for me and overall I enjoy the experience. I wish I knew more about photography/the camera/lighting/editing so I could really improve, but it's going to have to be added to the to-do list.
She wanted to get a goofy group shot.
All her kiddos. Navek, Yzabelle, Emerald, and Tristan. I use to teach Navek in primary. He's looking so grown-up! Yzabelle turned 12 and moved on to YW's, but I still have Emerald in activity days.
I don't love the posing on this group shot of the kids. They're cute and all, I just think it would look better if the two standing were standing on the ground or kneeling on the haystack, but Yzabelle was not in the greatest of moods so I was just trying to capture what I could while she kind of cooperated.
So we could get one family shot of everyone smiling Jon did a head swap on Yzabelle (bless him!) in the one on the left. The one on the right had no head swap options....so we'll just say she's going with the serious look ;-)
The boys and Jessica. There are a lot more, but these are the only edited ones.
Still a lot to learn and improve on, but I am glad she got a few usable goodies from our little photoshoot.
I think you do a great job.... practice makes perfect. Keep it up! I wish I knew more but wish I had a super dooper camera like you!!!
