Family Christmas Card Session

[justjenny]

Hi all,

It's that time of year and I seem to be the person my friends and family want to do their Christmas card photos. I have several more over the coming weeks, so I can use any pointers anyone has then. This was my first official time using my Speedlite for fill outside. I think it turned out pretty well. I think this is my best work to date. I had a few pictures that my depth of field wasn't quite right on (too shallow to keep everyone sharp), so I'll need to keep that in mind next time.

I used my Rebel XSi and my 50mm 1.4 that I just got back from being serviced. I was seriously disappointed in that lens, but it needed an adjustment (despite being brand new) and is now MUCH improved.







Thank you for any suggestions or comments!

I can see the first one on a Xmas card. The last one would be a cute family photo hanging on a wall.

Nicely done.
