Sun


Well there's plenty of it at the moment, especially considering bank holidays usually end up a wash out...but to be honest unless it's dusk or dawn i have no idea how best to photograph the sun and couldn't think what else to photo as i've no sunflowers. So the sun is behind the clouds here but you can see it's very bright! LOL

I thought i would include though a photo that was taken was Freya was just 18 months. It's one of those posed studio shots that you get vouchers for when you have a baby, i'm sure you all know what i mean. Well when i saw them i fell in love with them, which is not how i look on them now. Don't get me wrong, Freya looks cute and everything.....but this has come to be a perfect example of what i no longer like about some professional photographers. It's so staged, obvious and rigid. Now i just love the natural look, the unposed photos that look so genuine......that's what i'd like to be able to do, not try and make a picture interesting sticking some poor child in an oversized flowerpot and waving a teddy at them! Thank god there are better photographers out there now!

Lovely photo of Freya - and the sun through the clouds is perfect (not that I mean the clouds are perfect - we want them to go away!)

Love your photos and what a cute one of your DD. I know what you mean though about these photos. When DS was born (3 years ago) we used all the freebies and had tons of photos taken. This time with DD (3 months old now) we've not had any taken and I don't really intend to.

Lovely sun photo -- the clouds show off the sun nicely. I tried taking one of the sun in the sky too but wasn't too successful with it.
Cute photo of your daughter too.

The little one in the flower pot made me smile, lovely child but I agree with you about the posing. Love your sun shot, we've had so little of it this year. Re teenage tendencies, they certainly start early don't they. My other dd is 11 (14 months gap) and between them it can be a nightmare - and we're just about to move to a house with LESS bathrooms!!
Anyone know a good builder?
