Beach Portraits

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

Spring Portraits 2013

I took the pictures of the kids the Thursday before Easter. It's always better to take them before Easter so they won't be as tired and the lighting is better. I wasn't totally satisfied with the group shots but Luke wasn't feeling well and that's about as good as you get with 7 kids especially when I didn't have anyone helping me to get their attention, etc.

This was taken on Easter Sunday after church so it was really bright since it was around noon. I need to start scoping out better places in the yard that might be better but it's hard since we don't have any tall trees.

2012 Easter Portraits

Yesterday evening I attempted to take the kids' Easter portraits. Here's the best one...
Although this one is more of a typical pose:
The boys

The girls...Melody was not too happy about taking a picture

Luke - he's easy to take pictures of although you sometimes get the fake smile

Cameron - pretty easy too, but I think the 2nd one is more him but I didn't get him centered well

Miriam - most of hers were the same...more of a fake smile, but then I got some more natural ones but her hair was more messed up

Levi - you never know what you're going to get

Micah - oh the drama!

Cole - I was lucky to get one where he was somewhat looking (although it's kinda blurry)

Poor Melody was not in a good mood, so I'll have to try to take some of her on Sunday.
