Have you been thinking about taking some portraits of your kids during this beautiful fall season? If so I wanted to encourage you to find an area with trees a out an hour or so before sunset. Pose your kids in front of the sun so that it is behind the creating beautiful backlighting.
I have done 2 photo shoots recently in a place just like this and the results of the lighting are beautiful.
If you need tips on photographing in backlight then google it and you will find a ton of information. I have really enjoyed taking online classes and reading the free info at http://improvephotography.com/
I also have been using my new photo cd packaging that I give to my clients.
I use custom stamps I ordered and a punch cut out for the name tag. The insert is my print release and I stamp Thank You on it. I really like it. It sure beats the ziplock baggies I was using before.
I encourage you to go outside this weekend and practice taking photos by using the light and see what you think.
