Portrait Session With The Mercer's

I had so much fun this past Saturday at the Photo session. I only had one family show up (some cancelled and some were a no show). But that was fine with me :o) I got to spend more time with the Mercer's. I work with Amy (the mom). She decided to get some photos of her kids to surprise her husband with (soo sweet!). What was really great about the session was that Tyeler(the son) was just SO energetic and he LOVED the camera and the camera loved him back!! He really has some talent, not to mention how photogenic he is! It was a little hard to get Allyssa (the daughter) to smile in some of the shots but luckily her friend was there to make faces and such behind me, to make her laugh.

What I think I learned is that the natural shots are the best. Not the shots where you have them to sit this way and look that way. They are just so much more life like and have this certain quality to them. It makes me feel like I was really capturing moments in time. Which, if you don't know is a GREAT feeling!

I believe  my next step is going to be putting up some fliers in my neighborhood for another 30 minute photo session and charging just a small fee. I will still edit the photos I take a burn them on a CD for them to keep.
