Fall Mini Sessions in Richmond Virginia | Midlothian Family Portrait Photographer
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard this line, “wow, your camera takes great pictures”. If you are a photographer I am sure you are cringing right about now. There is so much more to taking a great family photo than a good quality camera. I know this from experience. My first DSLR was a “good” camera and I had no idea how to use it. I assure you I did not produce the same quality images as I do now. First, you have to know how to operate your camera and control it in manual mode. Never let your camera control you! A fancy camera will do you no good if you don’t know how to operate it. Next, you have to understand that lighting is everything! Not all light is quality light. Time of day matters. Which direction the light is coming from matters. Shade does not always mean good light. Finally, Location, location, location! I cannot say enough about this. I’ve spent a lot of time scouting for the best spots for family portraits in the Richmond VA area and I’m always on the look out for unique places that offer pretty scenery and most importantly good light!
Life moves quickly. Kids change in what feels like the blink of an eye—one season they’re holding your hand everywhere you go, and the next they’re running ahead with confidence.
