Happy Tuesday!

I had a fun morning yesterday.  I had arranged with Angie to shoot some photographs of Austin since I  really had the chance to do that.  I took one Nikon SB910 speed light, a 2 X 2 softbox, and a reflector to her home.  As you can see from this first image Gabby was most helpful in working with Austin.  He is such a happy little guy it was hard to find a time that he wasn’t smiling but I managed with this image.  🙂

Normally Gabby is not fond of posing for me but she cooperated somewhat for this image.  I gained a new respect for child photographers after the session yesterday.  As a Grandpa it was a hoot but as a photographer trying to get a wonderful image it was a real challenge.  So I had this vision in my mind when I went over there of what I wanted to capture and how I wanted to do it.  I wasn’t successful but came away with some really nice images.  I’ll show those at a later date.

Josh was in preschool so it was a little easier to control the situation but any semblance of control was just that, a semblance.

I had a lot of fun with Gabby and Austin.  I want to try some more because it is good practice I just need to lower my expectations and enjoy the Grandpa angle.  🙂

Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
