Photographing Adriane

My sister Adriane is seven months pregnant and she entrusted ME to take her maternity pictures.  I've never taken photos like this before (where I plan poses, shoot and retouch) and I definitely have a long way to go to get to professional photographer status.  First things first; shadows are a problem.  I need to figure out how to capture light correctly on my Canon Rebel.

Enjoy these pictures of my beautiful sister and her boyfriend Adam. 

This is my favorite.  Minus the huge shadow!

I like how the color turned out in this photo.  Plus the look on their faces is classic Adriane and Smitty!

 

I used some texturing here.



Millie with her Aunt Adriane.  The sun was shining BRIGHT!



Another one where the sun from the window was a little too bright.  I gotta work on that.

I can't wait to meet my niece Charlee Sue in August!

Nine Months Old

At nine months old Millie:

• is talking up a storm!
• is so close to walking it's scary
• can sit up by herself now
• can recognize repetition.  We play different games and she wants to do it over and over and over
• loves the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
• likes to feed herself
• loves the water.  We go to Schlitterbahn all the time and she loves splashing around everywhere
• can pull up on most things but still struggles a bit
• can not get enough of her daddy.  She cries everytime he leaves for work in the morning.  :(
• wants to be mobile soooo bad!
• gets into EVERYTHING!
• loves her nap time
• dances!  She hears music and starts bouncing and smiling.  It's the most precious thing to watch.

Millie's 8 month photo shoot

We had a wonderful photo session with Caressa of Caressa Captures a couple of weeks ago and this morning I received a precious slideshow in my inbox.  I thought I would share it here and then post the actual pictures when I receive them smometime soon.
