It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

The other day the girls tried on Christmas dresses and began begging for me to take some pics. We quick set up a backdrop and started shooting away. I am a contributor to We Picture This our assignment was "Eyes" this month. It was great challenge for me to focus in on capturing some specific shots with the eyes. The one with my girl and her lollypop cracks me up, because her eyes are talking to me. They are begging for a lick of that sweetness. (so even though it has pinlights rather than catchlights...i still loved it!) I love that I have practice "models" ready for me at any moment. They make my job easier!

Thank you to everyone that has been ordering their cards. It has been fun to work on them. I look forward to working on more for this adoption fundraiser! Please continue to pray for them as they wait with great expectation.

Love the pictures!! My question is how do you get them to cooperate? Do they just love pictures, I have one who loves it and two that HATE it?!?! What's this Momma to do??? I am trying to get pictures to send to you!!!

Laura Lu said...

Bribery is a good thing, my dear Tonya! ;) I have a few that absolutely LOVE to have their pics taken, I'm sure you can tell. I have a couple that I offer promises of gum, packs of gum, candy, quarters...whatever pops in my mind at the moment. That or showing them their goofy face on the back of the screen and telling them you will use that pic and everyone will see how grumpy they are...sometimes that will squeeze a smile out too!

What computer program do you use for your photos?

Laura Lu said...

i edit my photos in a variety of programs, but primarily i use cs3. it has a HUGE learning curve though.
