Anytime I want to practice some skills, little Ryland comes to my rescue! He may not look into the camera, but I don’t care, he is a willing subject, which is WONDERFUL. Today’s practice was more off-camera lighting. Today I shot through an umbrella to diffuse the light a bit. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. That is the beauty of practicing!
Here are a few shots from the “photo shoot”. It isn’t the most appealing of locations, but I really didn’t want to have to drive anywhere, so they are taken in our neighborhood.
NOTE: These were taken at about 4:30 PM, it was still really light outside, although the pictures look like it might be later in the day.
Thanks Ryland!!

Love the last one and the second one! He is getting way too big. Can’t wait to get there!
It really is a very cool effect. Crazy how the sky looks so much darker. Good stuff!
They are all so good, but the effect in the last one is just craazy! I have seen pictures like that, and always wondered how they do it.. You are such a great photographer!
He’s getting so big! Love seeing the reflection in the sunglasses shot. He’s a cutie!
LOVE these pictures! I also use my kiddos for photo opps….the best “free” labor ever…ok, maybe a sucker for some bribery. Also, that chair is FABULOUS! I noticed you had a larger couch in another session. I am soooooo looking for a vintagey piece just like that!
