Beach Portraits

They may not be that good since I haven't been practicing, but they still capture the memories.

Beach Portraits 2012

I'm not happy with the ones for this year, but it's my own fault. We stayed at the beach longer during the day which meant later naps which meant by the time they got up we were losing the light. Then add in a grouchy 2-year old and a baby which meant I was losing my patience...oh well, you live and learn! So I just tried some different actions to help with lack of light. But I'm never sure what exactly to do to make it better and I don't want to spend lots of time on them. So this is what I got.

Now really no light...just turned it on Auto with the pop-up flash (GASP)!

I've been lazy and haven't been practicing with my camera. So it felt like it was a lot harder to get good shots. However, these are decent considering who I have to work with!

One of Micah...she didn't want to cooperate when taking the group shots, but she wanted me to take a picture of only her. I thought this one was appropriate with the sign.

It was a little harder this year to get a picture since we had an infant and a 2-year old who didn't want to sit still. Plus the other 4 tired, whiney,  ones!   I didn’t really edit them because I’m going to have Tracy edit the ones that I want to frame.  Which one or ones do you like best?
