A first photoshoot :) - Z Family

I finally got my first "serious" camera - my Nikon D40, affectionately named M&M in behalf of the purchasers - Mark and Margaret. Shortly after, I got to do my first photo shoot for the Z family. I was unnecessarily nervous being that Z is my ex boss but I think the pictures came out pretty good for the first time. The girls are very cute and as the shoot went on their personalities came out. Here are a few of the best. Thanks Z family for providing the practice. :)

I love dad's expression here and the girls had a blast doing this shot. - Edited Adobe Lightroom.



Mother and Daughter - Gorgeous

My favorite out of all these pictures are the ones that were not so "posed". I still maintain that the best pictures are those that you just "happen" to capture. Personalities of the subject comes through loud and clear when you just wait patiently. We got the posing out of the way and let the girls go and do their thing (the two year old really needed it).



They won't think this shot is very funny later on - like when they are dating - but dad doesn't like to here about such things.



Check out the older sister's expression here. The girls were being real goofy with mom. They got it together after dad said the magic words - "Slurpee".


Get ready, Get set, GO!
