My oldest holding the youngest. It is a touching sight! Now for photography pointers I have learned that I love! The best pictures come out in natural light. This was taken in front of the front window. Another thing to look for are Catch Lights. The way the light catches in the eyes. You can simply watch people and how the light hits the eyes when you are talking to them until it becomes more natural. Try to get them to catch the eyes... a bit off centered. It helps add life to the 2 dimentional pictures. Look at Edmond's eyes and you will see what I am speaking of.

Anyway, I really love how this picture turned out.


Here I was also playing with the natural light and focusing. I love that you can add depth by simply focusing on one subject or another. It almost tells a story. Profiles can also add more as well. Here is Nathanya looking out the window... Miriam and Edmond in the background.
What is on Nathanya's mind? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


Now this is where I need to work - getting a whole group to all look fantastic! Any pointers? LOL I am just sad that Samuel was napping at the time. I would have had all 5 together if he wasn't. But then again, my sanity was saved by his napping! Hehehehe.


I really wanted a picture of Jared with the others... He did great, but then Edmond was fussing and Miriam decided to watch TV. LOL... I tell you, taking pics of children can be a challenge! One day I will get them all together and all looking like models for me! ROFL... yea right! Jared did fantastic though :)
