One of the key questions is “how tight can we can get on the three subjects?” The tightness in framing adds a sense of intimacy to their photo’s story.
As I walked our SEATTLE CONFIDENCE workshop ladies through this process, I took a couple sample shots so the ladies could see what I was envisioning.
Once again, beautiful job ladies…you really do ROCK! 🙂
Me Ra- wishing you safe and fun travels this weekend!
Gorgeous, Gorgeous, Gorgeous….Each and every shot is just…. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! WOW Ladies….What Beautiful Shots. You should all be very proud!
Awesome pics by everyone! We even have one of staci’s blown up and hung over our fireplace 🙂 thanks for letting our family be a part 😀
That family in the first 4 shots are clients of mine and I got to take photos of the baby when she was just 11 days old. I was so excited to see them again and my goodness how much the baby had grown!!! I didn’t get to work with them during the class but their photos turned out so amazing! I was so happy they agreed to be models, these photos are priceless! Great job ladies!!!
These are beautiful. As a new mom, it has been a challenge to try to do my own family portraits. This gives me some great ideas that I can’t wait to try out! Wonderful job ladies, the images are moving!
these are super great tips. thanks mera…and great job ladies! 🙂
Shelly really knocked it out of the park with that last shot! It is fantastic, you have a great eye for photography, you should be so PROUD! Thank you Me Ra for all your great suggestions, life is so fast paced, it is good to be reminded to take that little pause and then capture what you see. Your a great teacher!
Me Ra,
I love the break down of this post! All the ladies had such beautiful shots! Love it!
Hi there Me Ra, Your Wonderful Family, and Photography Staff,
Reading and seeing this whole site was so enjoyable. From you and your students giving us a how to see/visualize and propose settings with the family you are working with. Then giving us examples of who, when, how, and why. Very similar to what we are taught in class, with the use of photography rule of thirds, and how filling the frame makes exceptional captures. I have learned a great deal from the short lessons from of one your workshops and other information on your site. It helps me to correlate them together with other classes I have taken locally, as it also has helped me to understand more about professional portrait, mini family portrait sessions photography. This has been a wonderful treat to see such special and loving photography for this family.
Thank you so very much for offering many excerpts for those of us who are not able to attend your workshops. It is a terrific resource for all of us with you, your husband, students and staff coaching us in easy to understand pieces. I will be practicing my reflexes from now on in manual focus, mode and aperture mode with my Sony book at my side for reference. At least until I am confident enough to remember on my own with practicing over and over.
Thanks Again,
Rosemarie/aka Rosearodoe
