Summer Fun Photo Shoot!

At the end of Summer, a close friend asked me to take some pictures of her daughters.  The first time we planned a photo shoot it rained, so because of the location we scheduled a 'rain date'.  Had it been over the holiday season we would have chosen to take the pictures inside, but because of the season we chose to set a rain date due to wanting to be outside.

I was able to accomplish pictures of both girls by themselves, and then I did a few photos of them together.  I did a mix of some black and white and some colorful photos, as well as mix in a few props for each girl.


The first picture is the oldest daughter, our lovely Sierra.  I LOVED the patterns and how well they blended.  Because of the mid-day sun, as usual, a good prop is an umbrella.

I loved the picture as well.  Sierra came right down to eye level to tell me a story w hen I snapped her beautiful picture!

This is Sophia, the youngest daughter.  She was vibrant and very excited to get her pictures taken!

This is my absolute favorite picture of Sophia!  I think the way she was looking down makes her look simply angelic. I did a black and white edit also, and I have to say as an unexpected capture, this turned out beautiful!  

As the photo session moved forward, I had to think of ways to keep both girls occupied during the session.  
Sophia wanted to go pick out a favorite toy, on her way back out of the house I snapped the picture!  How beautiful, and the background matches perfectly!
The sisters together....

  
These are just a few of the many photos I took during this photo-shoot.  I got many close-ups, black and white, and of course other favorites.  These are just the tip of the iceberg...

The photo shoot was very easy and A LOT of fun to do!  Defiantly a great way to end the summer...

Fall Foilage--fall photos!

The last few months at DLWM Photography has been very busy.  Last month I accomplished another photo shoot (photos coming soon!), as well as got another lens for my camera and worked on some landscape photos.  It has been quite busy...

With fall and the holiday's on the way I'm hoping to get another photo shoot in before winter sets in.  There are so many opportunities to get some fall foliage photos, as well as get some great family photos with a wonderful background. I've experienced in couple and children, I'm hoping to expand my photo skills and get some engagement and maternity, as well as hopefully finally be scheduled for a wedding ceremony. 

I have constantly been reading and studying poses, as well as learning how to do some awesome photos.  Quite surprisingly, I've done a lot of photographs during the mid-day sun and as opposed to what you might read, I've successfully done some photos that came out beautifully!  I've learned to find my ways around it, and use the sun towards my advantage.  What more can I say?  the more practice I get the better the photos turn out. 

I hope that you will welcome me to take some pictures for you.  I take them at a fair price, and you get a CD to take wherever you want to get developed.
