Family of Four

Scott's friend from work asked me to take pictures of his family. I was way excited to be taking pictures for a family, and one not related to me either for that matter! I was also super nervous though. Besides some shadows which were caused by the time of day we went, I think these turned out pretty good. I hope they work for them. We tried to be quick, cuz even though it was actually super nice weather, it was still a bit cold for their cute baby!

More Snow Pictures...

My sister has become quite the model for me. :) The first time I took pictures of her were for her graduation announcement and both her and I had no clue what we were doing. Now, she'll do whatever I tell her to do with a big smile (even if some of the things I've told her to do are pretty silly and didn't turn out exactly as cool like I thought they would!) I'm just glad she's a good sport and lets me learn on her. :)

iheartfaces Contest - Winter Wonderland

This week's photo contest theme on iheartfaces is Winter Wonderland. Since I've done so many photo shoots lately in the snow, this was a perfect theme! This was a picture I took just getting ready for my photo shoot. My sister Heidi was helping me figure out lighting and I loved the look she's giving right here. It was cold! :)

Family Photos

I was lucky during the holiday to have family in town... which meant more test subjects for me! :) It was new for me trying to take group family photos. I have a lot to learn about positioning families or multiple people, but they were great to let me practice on them! :)

Snow Pictures!

So this was a challenge, but it was pretty fun too. We had a hard time scheduling this shoot with first no snow, then a blizzard on the day of the shoot, then kids getting sick, etc... but we finally got out there and I think it went pretty well. I loved taking these pictures with the red in it. :)

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge

The theme of this challenge is self portrait. This is my first entry in one of these contests. One of my goals this upcoming year is to enter more pictures in these contests and hopefully get feedback and improve on areas I need to work on. :)

I'm Thankful for my Mom and Dad

My parents finally let me take a couple pictures of them on Thanksgiving. I'm so grateful for everything they have done for me and all they have taught me. I needed pictures of family for a project I want to work on, I think these will work out great, thank you mom and dad! :)
