Another first for me, I am trying my hand out at family portraits. Let's face it, it would be silly not to when I meet up with my family so often and there is a new baby around for those picture perfect moments! As I said in a previous post, I didn't want to use my flash with such a young baby but instead use the available light. So, I was really pleased with image below. I hope you like too! This is my brother and our niece. What a natural huh??!
And of course, shots a plenty of the new family together!
I wanted a grainy texture to the images so that they looked more like film, I love using film but unfortunately, at the moment, I don't have the necessary time or equipment to do it nearly as much as I would like to so I adjust the ISO on my DLSR to give me a similar effect. It's the closest I can get to the real deal!
I think it's really important to have a new family in familiar surroundings when doing these shots, everyone is more comfortable and the images look more natural and less staged. And I also don't have my own studio (yet!) so it's the perfect excuse to keep the family at home!
And here are a few of the rest of the family having cuddles! Very, very proud grandparents to the right and an aunty, who also has her own blog (click 'blog' to go to it) and uncle below.
