Christine that is a fantastic shot! Love it! Angle and light is great. Expressions wonderful! I have a friend who has a friend who does family portraiture in people's homes. It's understood by all that when shooting portraits in the house--especially of kids--the photographer may have to return a time or two--especially when the goal is candid environmental portraits. The photographer also has to check out the light, how it moves around the house/environment etc., which again could require more than one visit to the house--though you probably wouldn't want to burden the family with endless shooting dates.
I think you got a great shot! I suppose it's important to get some traditional shots--people like that--and I've come to believe in a historical-family-sense it's important, but I prefer the more less-traditional shot like the one you've taken here. Great work! Cheers, Christine On Jul 17, 2013, at 3:44 PM, Christine Nielsen <[email protected]> wrote: > Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot newborn twins.
