It's so important to take picture with our loved ones. Take them & have them printed & hang them on your walls. This is important!
Here is my Dad & I about 4 years ago on a trip back east to visit him & more family. I’m so happy we got this shot together; it’s not perfect, but it’s us and I treasure it - miss you Dad! Hope I can come back to visit once all this has passed.
If professional photographs aren't on your essentials list right now, I'm gonna share with you some of my best tips for taking your own photos with your cell phone 😊. Stay tuned!
TIP #1 - Find your light
Try to notice where your main light source is coming from - is it the sun? Overhead lights in your kitchen? Window light? Learning to see the light & knowing where to position your subject in relation to the light is key. When you’re out walking, or around your house, try to start noticing the different light sources & direction.
Photographing in direct sunlight means you are dealing with harsh shadows. If you can find a pocket of shade, from a tree or building, place your subject there. You’ll avoid the squinty eyes and unflattering shadows. If there is no shade around, and you can’t create your own shade with an umbrella or something, try changing your position to your subject so you are changing the angle at which the sunlight hits them.
