Holiday Snap Shots

My son Kevin was having a difficult time coming up with a gift idea for his grandma. She's 85 and has enough of the usual things ladies in her age group are apt to be given.
So after some serious thought he asked Me and Birdie to do a photo shoot of him and my daughter.
We were busy setting up different lighting situations and taking practice shots of each other, all the while thinking that Leslie was getting ready for the shoot.
She appeared suddenly checking out the scene, far from ready...
Some women need a little more prep work than others. Leslie
It was Christmas Eve and we still had lots to do and places to be , so off she went, finally, and returned in better form!
We set the SB800's as slaves on tripods and bounced the light off the ceiling for these. Leslie and Kevin

    Wow...that mask REALLY brings out the green in her eyes! =) I have to say, however, that the second shot was much nicer. =)

    - Enjoy the journey....

    Beautiful girl. I really like the mask shot. It is different! Both shots are actually very good. I agree that is a beautiful fireplace.

    Your fireplace is gorgeous!! LOL on the first shot! and the second, aside from them looking a bit "posed" the color and exposure is perfect, maybe they should try several different poses if another opportunity arises. I am sure his Grandma will love this!

  • Swat
    excellent pict of a good looking young man and woman.

  • Birdie
    That wasn't the photo we chose for Grandma, it was a little different with less background and less body. You should see the group photo!!!!

    Well, it looks like the beauty mask worked. :) Great looking kids. You must be proud.
