"S" Family: Fort Wayne Children's/Family Photographer

7/23/2017

This was my first time working with this family, and it was a great experience! I work with Erika and Chad at my other job, and they were so wonderful to work with, super easy going and helpful, just as I knew they would be. Despite not wanting their photo taken (like most boys!), the older boys did a terrific job, and the littlest guy kept us busy and laughing. We gave him a toy lamb to hold and he would throw it and yell "Oooooooh!" It seemed to work!

"L" Family: Fort Wayne Family Photographer

This lady right here is incredible.
She's an awesome boy mom, a wonderful wife, a caring friend, a smart career woman, and a fabulous boss. In fact, she's MY boss, and I'm so lucky she is because she's the absolute best. She encourages me professionally and in my personal life, allowing me to raise my kiddos while maintaining the role I love at my job. You can tell she adores her family because of the pride and enthusiasm she has when she talks about them, and they of course adore her, for good reason. They are such a fun and happy family and a joy to photograph and spend time with.

Share Six: {Artificial Light}

7/6/2017

5 Comments

 
This month's Share Six theme is {Artificial Light}.

I think sometimes artificial light gets misinterpreted as strictly camera flash, but it can be so much more than that. I am very much a natural light photographer and haven't touched my flash since I shot weddings many moons ago, so I am way out of practice and was never much good with flash to begin with. I used to use flash when photographing our oldest daughter as a baby because our house can get pretty dark, but after a while I learned that I preferred finding the shadows and highlights and moody, low light images after all. Still, this theme helped me get out of my rut of the same types of images and practice with artificial light. I think it's always good to stray from your typical style once in a while to experiment.
Picture
This image is at our local zoo. The lights from the aquarium along with the light from the screen helped illuminate my daughter's face while the shadows portray how dark it is in this room.
Picture
My husband wanted to camp in the backyard with our oldest daughter, so we set up a tent and cooked s'mores over a campfire. She loved zipping and unzipping the tent, and I used a flashlight to create a spotlight on her.
Picture
Inside the tent, a simple flashlight shines on her face.
Picture
She loves making shadow puppets, so I stood behind her with the flashlight aimed on her and the tent wall.
Picture
Despite my best efforts, our youngest is obsessed with my phone. She holds it in front of her face and says "Cheeeese!" Here, the iPhone screen lights up her face.
Picture
I used my Speedlite flash for this image, which is in my youngest's nursery. There is a window air conditioner unit in the window, so much of the soft light has been blocked. However, there is still a bit of window above the unit, so I aimed the flash sideways at the window to illuminate the room.
I have joined a group of photographers, Share Six, who will be blogging 6 images each month. Each month is a different theme. Please click here to see work from the talented Tori of Roots and Twigs' interpretation of this month's theme.

Join us for this month’s theme by posting your {Artificial Light} images on our Facebook page at Share Six and to our Instagram gallery by tagging #sharesix, #sharesix_artificiallight. A new theme will come out on August 6th.
