Shooting into the Sun – Wildwood family photographer

Sep

10

Shooting into the sun. Should we do it? Yes. Is it easy? If you practice and know the tricks. 🙂  What is so frequently talked about is finding the right light to illuminate your subjects faces. Of course thats necessary for those soft and bright creamy skin tones, but if you want to get a bit creative, just try having some sun behind your subjects! I do talk about this in my compose workshops, so out of fairness to them, I won’t go into too much crazy detail, but trust me. It’s SO worth it.  So go out and try having the sun behind your subjects. You will be surprised at how creative you can get!

This family was DARLING and I just had to have a backlit shoot. About 50% of these images were shot into the sun and I just totally am in love.  It’s so fun to be able to get creative and use the sun for FUN too! Plus how cute is this family. For real cute. Here are some of the highlights from their shoot, which I am totally in love with 🙂

Studio mini sessions are one of my favorite types of sessions to do. As any parent knows, to get a toddler to focus for more than 30 minutes takes a small miracle. That being said, sometimes parents get nervous that amount of time wont be long enough to warm up, especially with shy children. We […]
