Sunshine and Summertime

I was bored this afternoon and hadn't done a model shoot in a while, so my sister and I went to work. (:

















I had had a few posing ideas and editing ideas I'd been wanting to try out, so this shoot was the perfect opportunity. The time of day was less than ideal, but the bright sun actually worked to my advantage.

I shot these all completely manually and in RAW.

I'm a firm believer that RAW files are the only way to shoot. (:

Building Photography

My dad owns a construction company and recently built some additions for a homeowner. He asked if I would take some pictures of the final product for his company's portfolio.

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day and perfect for taking pictures, so I took all the photos of the additions and the property itself.

I don't normally like to take pictures at high-noon, but for taking pictures of buildings with trees, landscaping, and other buildings around them, it was perfect. The sun didn't cast any problem shadows that I would have been frustrated with if I had shot earlier or later in the day.

These are all SOOC. I might add some contrast to them and boost the blacks, but I like the colors for the most part.

This is just because the artist photographer in me just couldn't resist that color.

I just can't get over how gorgeous today was! The weather was perfect, the sky was so blue, and the grass was so vibrant!
