Homemade Photo Studio

Jasmine is such a good sport, she always let's me dress her up and put her in front of my camera.
This week I set up a Home Studio. I bought floodlights and extension cords from the hardware store. Backgrounds from Hobby Lobby (2 or 3 yards of material). I also went around the house to find fun costumes and props. I had a little trouble with the lighting and found it was much easier just using "Natural Light" from one of my big windows. Jassy was thrilled to put her Snow White Costume from Halloween on.


SNOW WHITE



I like this picture but think her head looks bigger then the rest of her body. I think that's called "Perspective Distortion" or something, but I still think it's cute.





BUTTERFLY PRINCESS



I love her eyelashes in the above picture. Except for her hands moving I think it's a pretty good shot.


Look at these dimples.



She was laughing because our dog kept trying to get in the picture.

This time she was laughing because Damon was dancing.

I thought I would have her not smile for the next one. Classic Jassy!

Here's one of the backgrounds that I got for $4 a yard regular $22. It's really heavy and soft. I needed a picture of a child with a pet. This was the best picture since Chloe is a little nervous when Damon tries to hold her. I took a ton of pictures of just Chloe but I find it's hard not to get the glare from her eyes, and the camera and Photoshop won't detect red-eye on a fur ball. So this might be as good as it gets.

I also needed a few head-and-shoulder shots. I think I waited to late in the day to take these pictures, because they are kind of blue and have lots of shadows.

I know I need to fix a few flaws here and there, but I haven't figured out my Adobe Photoshop yet. But aren't my kids great models? Let's give them a big round of applause.
