there are so many great ideas for setting up simple little photo shoots of your own kids and family (and lets face it, we can never have too many photos of our own kids in varying states of cuteness or tantrums! ;-)
Here are a few ideas that I have collected from around the www, bookmarked to try out myself….one day!
Picket fence! I have a neighbour with a picket fence! and study the angle from which this shot was taken – time to get down on our tummies and test out those lax abs!
I also happen to have in my own back yard quite a few corrugated iron buildings – the chook house (in some disrepair, which could be quite cool for a shoot!) the laundry shed with its peeling paint, the garden shed….with hang on a second!!! its own pailing sliding door – which is very picket fence like! And the kids “new” cubbyhouse is also iron as well – but with the ripples running horizontally, which offers a whole new aspect!
Those of you who read my other blog will have seen the image below before – I love this set up with the sheets hanging on the string clothesline and the atmosphere the simple props (or not, who knows this may have been a real picnic and how this woman hangs her washing!)
So there you have it – hope you find these ideas most inspiring – this post is just for you KAT, my lovely old friend who never comments but did whinge on the phone to me that she hadn ‘t seen an update here for awhile. I do have some sorting of my 2010 Captured shots, I have let that slide as things got a little busy here (well its never not busy, but busy-ER!)
That first one is adorable Sharon. I will be looking out for a picket fence while I'm out in my neighbourhood this afternoon. I need some sun in my backyard before I can take photos, bing on spring!
ReplyDeleteI think you can get cute shots anywhere - depends how compliant the subject is .... that's always my downfall!
