Embracing the light! | Flower Mound/Lewisville/Highland Village Children's Photographer

As a photographer who primarily uses natural light, indoor lighting can be tricky.  A north facing window is best but not always available in homes.  In my home the best area of light coming in with a workable space is facing east.  I typically use this room for my children's indoor portraits.  My daughter's love to play dress-up, so I decided that we all could "play" on one hot afternoon indoors where it's cool!  I wanted to use the window as back light instead of the usual even lighting I typically use.  To do this I had to ignore the flashing blinkies on my histogram and use a high ISO.  I'm not one to always like blown whites and high grain but I believe as an artist you need to try new things and break "rules" sometimes.

Can you tell I'm bribing with candy here?  She's a typical 2 year old and wasn't happy with me at the time.

My girls have a very strong bond, I love to watch them interact!
