Alternative Light Portraits | Project 12 | Orange County Portrait Photographer

August 22, 2014 4 comments

Our Project 12 theme this month was Alternative Lighting. I had first started out photographing my boys at the beach in full sun, using my flash as fill. It was fun to do, but not quite as “alternative” as we were discussing! I joined Allison at her house with our boys and tried out some sparklers. We all had fun – but who knew sparklers had such short lifespans?! They worked, but barely. They did give off a nice glow that illuminated their faces with a nice warm light – perfect for the challenge. I am excited to try this again with some nice and powerful sparklers!
You can view Allison’s take on our impromptu session on her blog, Allison Jacobs, California Travel Photographer. You can also view Laura’s take on the theme at Laura Veno, Commercial and Editorial Photographer.

I must admit I am a bit behind on blogging (ahem, 3 months!), as I just photographed little Sofia’s 6 month portraits! She has grown so much and she is still just perfect! I seems like her newborn session was just yesterday!

Little Sofia was just the perfect model for this newborn session! I love photographing this family, they are so relaxed and fun – even with a new baby in the house:). This was a great session in every way, but I have to admit photographing the proud big sister with her new baby sister was my favorite!

Project 12: Color Theory | Orange County Family Photographer

July 1, 2014 5 comments

Summer is here, and we are ready to play! Our latest topic for Project 12 is Color Theory. The colors in an image can definitely draw the eye and make an ordinary image extraordinary. As I researched this topic I found that it can be quite complicated – even studying something as simple as the color wheel. I chose to photograph blue and yellow because they complement each other on the color wheel (actually blue and orange are a bit closer to complementary – but blue/yellow has been ingrained in me from editing photos!). I just love the look of these two colors together, they just look happy together! I mean minions are blue and yellow, and it doesn’t get better than that according to my boys! We had fun shooting at the park – which included some great primary colored play equipment as a bonus!
