Miss *N* (and *C*): Portrait Session SNEAK PEEK!

Earlier today I had an AWESOME portrait session with *N* - complete with wardrobe changes. :-) For this session, I really wanted to push my photographs, both creatively and technically, to new heights. Lately, I feel as if I'm a little too attached to my wide angle zoom lens. Don't get me wrong, it's a GREAT lens, but I think the zoom has made me a little lazy. :-P With a zoom, I can go wide or close without moving a step. This is great for events (and engagement sessions) to catch those "moments." On the flip side, by not changing my position I feel I'm losing a bit of my creativity by not playing with angles, depth of field, etc.

For this session, I purposely left my wide angle zoom lens at home and ONLY brought along two primes - the 85mm and 50mm. In other words, no zooms! I also purposely left my flash at home so I had no choice but to utilize the natural light and change my settings as the light change. (which it did - ALOT!)

The verdict? I absolutely LOVE using my primes and Miss *N* was the PERFECT subject.

Check out her sneak peek:



I LOVE how I caught natural catchlights in this image:


This is our "city-girl" picture:


No janelle lynn photography session would be complete WITHOUT jumping pics! ;-)

This is *C*, *N's* little sister.

These images are pretty much straight out of the camera with just a small bump in curves to give them a bit of "pop." How cool is that?! This session is going to be soooooo easy to process! :-)
