More of Kylie's Senior Portraits - "Studio" Shots I'm DONE - last ones post 13

[DVC Jen]

Thanks Jann - I will definately let you know.

Twoangelsinheaven - they were taken at home - in my living room. We used a large picture style window we have - and hung a blanket over the window and drapes first to block out all the light - then hung up the black sheet over that - using the drapery rods and staples (Yikes I know - but we are painting the rest of this week so we can "patch" up those holes). then the white sheet. I used the white sheet first and then just pulled the black one over the white. I also had another white and black sheet to put on the floor. We have a door that leads to the backyard right beside the window, so I had a blanket hanging over the window in that door (the entire length of the door) to block out that light.

I also had my two studio umbrella lights that I bought in a kit - they helped tremendously.

If she tends to stiffen up in front of a camera have you tried the candid approach. I have used this technique with great success. Often times they get engrossed in what they are doing and all their beauty comes out, inner and outer. They relaxe and become themselves.

Stand off and use a tele lense. Let them forget you are there. If I remember you have a dog. Have interact (play) with it.

Jen,
Another great set, I like the one of Kylie lying down on her stomach the best. She looks so natural with a beautiful smile.

Thanks for sharing this experience. You have inspired me to try my hand at portraiture. It was a lot of work, but you got some really great pictures of your girls. I will give it a try myself. Thanks!
