{H} Family

I was recently able to do a photoshoot with my sister's family.  We've been talking about it for quite a while when we finally set a date and did it.  It was the first day of the cool weather in our area and it was such a nice evening!  We had a great time and I got some really great shot of her awesome family.  Here they are:

My first multi-family shoot!  There was a family of 6 and the 4 kids' families.  It was lots of fun...but we had a few sad moments.  Overall, I think we got some really good shots of the groups and individuals.  I'm only going to share a couple on here, but I have more on my facebook page at www.facebook.com/sweetsadiephotography

 

{M} Family

My last time shooting the {M} family was just about a year ago.  I've changed my "name" and learned a TON since then, I'll show a few pictures that I liked from that shoot a year ago and a few from last month.  Enjoy :)

First, a year ago:

The previous pictures were over saturated and too contrasted...but these next ones are pictures from last month.  More from then because I like the turnouts better!

I learned how to control my colors and lighting better and how to make them look natural without overdoing it like last year.  This wasn't all of them, but I hope you enjoyed the little peek of their shoot.  More on my facebook page at www.facebook.com/sweetsadiephotography  Thanks for stopping by!

My second newborn shoot!  This one was a little easier...but I'm sure it takes time to learn how to best pose little ones.  Here are my favorites :)

Skin Softening Technique

I just wanted to post a picture showing the new technique that I learned today!  My sister had a baby in November of last year and I took her newborn portraits.  She was my first newborn to "shoot" and so I really wasn't sure of how to do different things.  One thing that I didn't know how to do well was skin softening.  I've seen a few videos and tried a few times, but never liked the end result, so I just went back to the best I could do with "band-aid" tool and stuff like that.  Well after seeing this video and trying it out (all but airbrush), I'm so pleased with the end result!  Here is a side-by-side with my original edit and the new edit...wow, my original edit looks bad, lol! 

I believe since I was able to find it and get help from it, I should share it with others that may be having the same problem, so I hope this helps with your editing :)

I've been very busy with life lately, but not as much with photography.  We're getting ready to move and have been doing all that goes with that.  But recently I decided I wanted to do new portraits of my kiddos.  So I took them out, one by one, and did a mini-shoot with them and ended up with 3 great portraits (one of each).  I ended up with some other fun ones, but these are the ones that I LOVE!

I have some fun stuff coming up in the next month, so I'll be posting them when the time comes.  Have a great summer!

I had an engagement shoot recently and we had a blast!  The couple was so much fun to be around.  You could also see how in love they were!  Here are some of my favorites from their shoot.
