I did it!
I finished my first portraiture session! In true Brandy fashion, I was completely anxious during the shoot, trying to make sure I got the lighting and the settings right. I had no clue how to direct the family to sit, and add a dog to that mix and I was really flustered! I came home after the shoot, uploaded the photos, and then proceeded to criticize my composition, the lighting, etc… At the advice of my wonderfully supportive husband, I gave myself a couple of days before looking at them again. With the aid of Photoshop, I cropped, and primped and adjusted, and I think I succeeded in getting some good shots of the family that they will be pleased with. Let’s just hope they look as good in print as they do on my computer!
With any luck, the weather will cooperate on Sunday and I’ll be able to “shoot” my next clients! Bring on the business!!
