Portrait Practice

Oh poor blog, I have been neglecting you.  Time goes by so quickly.  C'est la vie n'est-ce pas?  We spent a great weekend with my husband's family, and my wonderful sister-in-law (whose talents will be the subject of a future blog!) and I did a practice photo shoot.  I just got some new lighting equipment, and I'm just learning how to use it, so it was great fun.  Thanks to the patient couple who were our subjects!!  And thanks to our husbands, too, who let us keep them up late. :)  I was especially anxious to figure out some good lighting techniques because we have a real photo shoot next weekend for friends of ours who have two little girls and one itty bitty baby boy, and I want to make sure we make some good memories for them!  I'm learning lighting is quite an art, and I have sooo much to learn.  I just have to be patient and try try again. 

 So, without further ado, here is a sampling of our weekend.
