Photo Shoots With Susanna

Taken a week ago....On our porch:

I love love love how these turned out. Isn't she pretty?

Taken yesterday evening around a nearby high-school building. The colors of the highschool are kind of ugly- forest green and white. But there's plenty of space to take photos with all the blank outside walls and grungy steps. I love grunge. Not as much as frilly white dresses though...
I actually don't mind that green in this picture.
I didn't mean for this one to turn out to serious. Trying to avoid "the camera smile" I told her she didn't have to smile.

I think she was trying to pull weeds out of the tulle in her skirt...sometime before this I'd stopped asking her to pose.

And my favorite:
DSCN1648



Altogether I was happy with how the last set turned out. A bit moodier than I'd planned, which is fine with me- but next time I'll probably try to lighten things up a little. (Not literally.) The white dress in front of the white building was a mistake, in my opinion, but I got good lighting- the only thing I REALLY care about! ;)


All for now!

Excellent pictures. I posted some pictures on Blessings of Laughter yesterday, maybe I'll add more. But I really do need a new camrea! But God has blessed my little Kodak with amazing pictures for 4 years. What kind of camera do you have Natalie, and how do you like it?
