I just finished editing a wonderful collection of mommy and daughter pictures. This was my second time taking pictures of kids and I really enjoyed it. Some problems that occurred were freezing weather, lens switching, and lack of good location. So first of all it was about 38 degrees out, and the little girl, Anavaeh who was only two years old, wasn't very comfortable. I got a few smiles out of her, but the poor girl barely moved. The second problem was the fact that we were crunched on time, and I had keep changing my lenses! My prime lens is a 50mm and it has no zoom. So when we were doing picture on the swing set and other places where I may want to adjust the space between my camera and her, I had to change lenses. Even though it's a quick on and off, I wish my 50mm could zoom. Lastly, this time of year is the transition from fall into winter and it's not pretty. All of the leaves are fallen and dead, it's either raining or windy, and the sky is always grey. So finding a location that was remotely picturesque was difficult. We were at two different parks and a bridge (which was the prettiest). 

Here are some of the good ones.  

For my next shoot I plan on doing something editorial and high fashion! Like I said in a previous post, I get high fashion magazines in the mail every month and I am especially inspired by them recently. One of my other talents is makeup and high fashion makeup can be very abstract sometimes. It's fun to pay around with it and find a cool location to capture it in just like editorial photographers do in the magazines. I just need to find someone that is willing to be my model!
