Suki (from TPF) and Family

[lscottpht]

Suki is a TPF member. She's moving out of the country and wanted something kind of "Texas" style for her family session. I warned her ahead of time that I'm new at shooting families and know nothing about posing, lol.

Great family photos. I love the emotion with them all.

They seem like one Happy Family.

You also caught the kiddo's emotion at great times ... some of them he wasn't as cooperative, I see, but they still work.

Love your DOF and comp. in all of the photos.

Did you do much post, aside from a bit of color, levels and the B&W?

These are wonderful! I had to sneak a peek since my nickname is Suki, best of luck to her and her family!

Haha, Kristina, thanks!

Thanks a ton, Raymond! Actually, not a lot of post processing. I did all the editing in LR. The ones where they look a little more processed just had a preset used on them. So, basically most were just white balance and the basics and b and w conversion via LR. I did these this morning. Took about an hour at the very most.

Leslie,
I am just speechless after seeing these wonderful photos! I can't think of words to describe how much I love them!


Ray, thanks! We are truly a happy family because we are so loved and blessed in every single way!

Kristina(Suki!!) ,Thanks a bunch!

Dont know if its my monitor at work or if the uploading did something, but in a couple of those the ladies red jacket looks as if you puched the saturation too far and its blown. Other than that I like most of them. Not a big fan of the ones where they are sitting on the bridge, not sure why, they just dont stand out like the rest of them do. Maybe its the composition?

Cool ... photoshoot for a member.

Yes, indeed your family looks great and you can see the happy blessings in your emotions, SukYee.

I also like the locations you guys choose. Looks like the StockYards in Fort Worth.

Those are wonderful! I love the first one sitting! Something about it just looks perfect to me!

Great work!

I've just learned a lesson.
It's more important to understand emotion and people than to worry about posing.
Luv them.

Cool! By Suk Yee, best wishes to you and your's.

This ^^

Also I must add, these are REALLY great. Photos like these are what I strive for when shooting family stuff. Really great stuff man...

Most look like natural light, OCF for the last two and possible 1 & 3. If you don't mind sharing the lightning setup please do, these rock! :)

Few things say "Texas" like the Stockyards. Great use of the location.
