Great composition of all the pictures. <BR/><BR/>I'm not much of a photog myself, but I do have a couple of tips that I've picked up along the way...<BR/><BR/>1. Tell the subject not to wear white unless it's a wedding--for beginner photogs, it just allows for much more flexibility, 'cause it's hard to get lighting right when they're wearing white! <BR/><BR/>2. If they DO wear white (or sometimes black for that matter), read about light metering, and learn how to shoot manually in order to overexpose or underexpose as necessary, based on what your subject is wearing. If you're shooting on automatic and point your camera at something light, the camera will say "ACK! Too much light!", and then will consequently underexpose the picture. Does that make sense at all?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257863829848728846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888653511412884793.post-5508158796227141182008-10-15T17:50:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:50:00.000-04:00Ok, these are beautiful.

I'm no photog, so I can't give you any lighting/camera advice, but your shots are similar to one of my fave photogs, Jasmine Star:<BR/>http://www.jasminestarblog.com/index.cfm?q=maternity<BR/><BR/>Also, I love shots where the subjects aren't looking at the camera (almost as if you're peeking into their lives w/out them being aware of it) but you know your friends better than I do, so def. cater to their requests.Freckles Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378234055571892527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888653511412884793.post-54604053198371079822008-10-15T16:51:00.000-04:002008-10-15T16:51:00.000-04:00Well done you!

I always like to crop in close for some good facial shots as well as get on a stepstool or lie on the ground for some different vantage points...and of course make use of natural light!
