More Fall Portraits

The Beck Family was the lucky winner of my door prize at the expo event at McGee Park last month. They won a free session and one pose package. Their choice of shooting location was Berg Park in Farmington, New Mexico. I brought two lights and modifiers outside for this session and also made use of the autumn sun as an additional light source for this session.

Fall Colors and Family Portraits

You don't have to be traditional with your locations or your poses. Fall is a great time to have a photo session outdoors using the colors of nature to enhance the background of your portrait. By bringing two lights with me on this photo shoot, I was able to keep the blue sky from going completely white with over-exposure. Shooting in the shade keeps eyes open wider and reduces squinting. It also allows me to brighten the portraits to near the same exposure as the sun-lit background.
