Since starting my photography business, Sherry Lachelle Photography, numerous opportunities have come my way! I’ll be taking photos at a fundraiser this week, offering a family photo shoot with an 8″ x 10″ at the silent auction, and just finished a father/son photo shoot a few days ago. I spent almost 1 1/2 hours taking photographs in a variety of poses of my friend and his son at a local park. There were some specific poses I had in mind, but I was flexible and the setting provided inspiration for some other poses. It was a lot of fun and also posed some new challenges. In addition to having to work around people in the background at the park…like a yoga group, other families and couples cuddling, my friend brought his two dogs and although they are extremely obedient, we still had to move them around and be aware of their location. His son is the cutest little boy as you can see from the photos and also very good natured and well behaved.
This first photo was one of our final shots and also one of the best…
My friend’s son had a cowboy costume, so I brought a cowboy hat for my friend. They both look quite handsome! I’m going to purchase Lightroom or Photoshop, so I’ll be able to take things out of photos…like the line in the sidewalk.
