The Thynne Family

My shoot later in the afternoon took me to a small bush, with untouched virgin snow stuck to every branch and forest floor, a winter portrait dream. The sun was beginning to reach a great level, reflected through the trees. It really was perfect. The Thynne's have always been a big supporter at the local dance studio, where their daughters attend, but this was the first family portrait I had done for them. Bringing in the 3 aspects I try to capture with all portraits-posed/fun/natural-we really had a great time. It really isn't hard to get the photos you want when you have 3 girls as beautiful and naturally cheerful as these 3 though. Thanks to Tara, Steve, Emmy, DD and Paige for making my job a true joy:-)

Faq: All pictures where shot without a lens change. Using my Canon 30d with a 580ex on a Stroboframe bracket and another 580ex, on slave, usually just above head level, angled down at a 45 degree angle, ahead and to the right of the camera. The walking picture was shot without flash, spot metered off the subject to give a more natural effect. Most where touched using the Kubota "Lord of the Rings" plugin in CS2, to soften and give the highlights that "pop".
