All or nothing

I guess it’s all or nothing with me these days! I haven’t posted for awhile because I’ve been working on tons of photo orders…not to mention moving into our new place. We moved in two weeks ago and I’m proud to say that there are no more boxes. I still have to put things on the walls (hello, new canvases!) and after that I’ll do a big share. After I get a little caught up I plan to do mini-shoots with each of my kids to do some big canvases for the walls. I’m already styling it out in my head. 🙂

Anyway, on to the “all” in all or nothing! I just got back from a weekend trip to the Bay Area. Saturday started with Sandy and her family. It was actually a mentoring session, which was so much fun. She’s already got such a great start, but just wanted to improve her skills so she can document her kids’ childhood.

First we talked about taking pictures in full sun. I showed Sandy how angle makes all the difference. With Hailey standing in the same position, the lighting looks totally different depending on if I’m at her level, below or above her.
