While sitting outside at Brixx Pizza, the sun starting dripping down the sky - oozing it's goodness all the way.
In my opinion, that's the perfect time of day to take pictures.
So the girls and I rushed to pay and headed for the house. One stop was made at the grocery... Cookies were needed for the after party, so Beth's mission was to be in and out in seconds.
We made it home just in the nick of time for me to take these shots of the lovelies:
My favorite for sure.
You see what the sun does? It's totally your friend. But not when it's directly up in the sky. You've gotta wait a bit for it to drop down.
When it's high in the sky, it will only create shadows on your subjects eyes and most of the time everyone will be squinting. Find a shady spot to take pictures mid-day.
But when the beautiful sun is setting, you can just about set your people anywhere and get great shots.
Abby and Beth were standing between me and the sun, so it created a pretty backlight for these photos. I happen to love *sunny* shots and I think you will as well. Just try it.
Macy was close by (of course), so Beth scooped her up for some more pictures...
I changed my settings a bit and moved the lens to crop out part of our neighbor's roof. Unfortunately, this over-exposed the light a bit and I accidently lost more of Beth than I wanted to.
Here I got more of Beth, but her eyes are a little squinty. This would be a fun pictures to crop in more on Macy. Something like this...
Do you see how fun the sun looks?
After this picture, our sun had fallen below the trees and Macy was ready to get down.
Moral of the story? Use the sun to your advantage when taking pictures.
You'll love the sunny goodness it provides!
