Be creative with your light source

Light only coming from an itouch

Light from an itouch and some ambient light from a tv.

The image below has ambient light from cfl light bulbs. The light from lower camera left is my computer screen. It eliminates the shadows from the overhead lights.


These were taken at night with just available light. The key is to underexpose the images. The camera will want to brighten the photos to make the scene look like daylight. So turn down the exposure settings so your camera is under exposing the shot.

happy family!

Happy baby

Little S turns 1!

So sweet

This little one was shy at first and then warmed up after a game of hide and seek. Such an adorable little thing.
I love this wall too - Stanford Mall for those interested.

The twins are growing up!

Less 'family portraits' will be posted here

You'll notice that I'm not going to be posting as may family shots showing everyone together looking at the camera. That's because it's the start of holiday card season for photography and I don't want to ruin the surprise and post a picture that someone may use for their card. So lots of candid looking shots will be posted in the coming months.
