Portrait Session with Jillian and Justin

 Sunday, March 18, 2012

Hope you all had a great St. Patrick's Day! I'm just about done editing my session of 3-year-old Jillian and her 10-month-old brother, Justin. I had so much fun shooting these two! Jillian is such a ball of energy and Justin is such a calm happy baby. They were really fun to work with, and it being my second time shooting with kids about this age, I was a little more confident going into it, and now I feel a little more at ease about the idea of shooting little ones!

I love this last picture of Justin so much! And the ones of Jillian in the tree...and of her jumping. :)

What great little models. Looks like everyone was having so much fun. I love the shots of the little girl jumping and just being her. The last one of the little boy is priceless.

Really beautiful!! I just posted some questions about camera tilt on my blog. If you have time, I'd love to get some thoughts on it. :)

Great job Jaymi!! Could you share if you used AF-C and how many focus points you used to capture the jumping shots?

Cordial Chaos March 19, 2012 at 8:35 PM  

Beautiful shots! I especially love that last one!

These photos are amazing Jaymi! I love the colors and the light. I am sure you have one happy family to have such beautiful photos. Love that last one and the ones of the little girl in the tree and laying on the grass. Thank you for sharing!

Such amazing colors in these photos!! Love them!

What beautiful children and you captured them so well! Great job! :)

Jaymi March 20, 2012 at 11:49 AM  

Bianca--your email is blocked so I couldn't reply to your question, so hopefully you check back here!

I used a single point focal point, and I focused on the girl while she was standing, and pressed the shutter half way. Then I told her to jump and pushed the shutter the rest of the way to complete the shot. I also used continuous shooting mode, and held down the shutter for a few shots. It was a bright day, so at f/4 my shutter was really fast--1/1000 second, which helped get sharp focus. Good luck!

Oh my gosh... they are adorable, I love how you've captured their cute little personalities! Please forgive me my tardiness in visiting your entry in ‘Weekly Top Shot,’ I have been rather under the weather the past few days, although still working. I'm so glad you decided to join us and share at 'Weekly Top Shot.' :-) I hope you'll come share again next week...

Liz March 21, 2012 at 3:40 AM
