Tales Of A Wannabe

Yesterday I had my first photo shoot appointment. Okay, so that sounds a little too hoity toity; it was really just me hanging out with my friend, Robyn, taking a bazillion pictures and praying that something, anything, would come out printable. It is HARD to figure out lighting! I did not realize how much thought goes into shadows, highlights, lowlights, midtones, blah diddy blah blah. It also did not help that I had the camera on the wrong setting for the first twenty minutes. Oops! Thank goodness for my second marriage to Photoshop. Here are some favs...




You can see that Trent just hated the camera and was completely miserable the whole time.

And my favorite picture of all ... Jenna summed up how we all felt by the end of the shoot.

Oh my he-. I love them all. Those are all I need. Who cares about the other 295? You did such an awesome job. Did you see my friend Emily left a comment on my blog and wants to hire you? Thank you so much. I love them. I love you!

Those turned out soooooo cute! You did a great job! Jenna is so pretty.

Also, Jenna has been going cross-eyed all day. I think the flash may have caused some retinal damage.

Alright, I'll let the lawsuit, "The People VS. Christie's Creations" slide for now since you did such a good job.

Christie! Those are SO great. Jenna is beautiful. I LOVE the last one. So, so cute. Good job. What kind of camera do you have?

Jen said...

Well if that doesn't confirm my feelings to have you as our official family photographer....I don't know what will.

Amazing shots! I'm set for our shoot.

So talented!

Great job Christie! They turned out fantastic! I'm going to a photography class tonight actually. I'm excited to learn some tricks. I've always loved photography. You totally captured Trent's personality too!
