WHAT IS THE MONTHLY PHOTO SHOOT?

Well , it is a challenge . I started this challenge   inJune 2016as a fashion to capture the ontogeny of my girl . And also to grow in my photography acquisition as well . I plan to carry on this challenge for many years to come as a way to collect memories with my girls .

Now , I ’m not just photographing them in a normal mean solar day . But I ’m actually dressing them up cute like I would if I was exact them to a professional photographer . I always specify to wager with props and use rude lighting to capture their best moment just as a professional lensman would do .

I get to expend my creative brain and really consider of some ideas to make the in force exposure piece of work . It ’s fun ,   I ’m make memories and I ’m saving money by not give to hire a professional lensman . This photo shoot is   something I can be after and take care forward to each and every month .

WHY A MONTHLY PHOTO SHOOT?

Seems like it would be trying to discombobulate in a photo shoot in an already busy rural life . But , when Maci was a newborn infant , I was starting to believe it to be necessary . I was struggle with myself over the fact that I had not scheduled a photo shoot with a lensman after thebirth of my newborn .

So , I tooknewborn picture of her . A calendar month later , my mom came to natter and encouraged me to take some pictures of both   girls myself . During theJune 2016 rural exposure shoot , I used Mylee’sAllis Chalmerspeddle tractor , rock chairand trees in our own G for an awesome first photo shoot .

That ’s when the estimation popped into my head . I have the cute props and thecamera . I have the gorgeous rural scene . Why not ?
