Photo Shot with my Little Girl - Photo HEAVY

I found this link oh HipGirls and couldn't quit thinking about trying it:
From One Clickin' Mom to the next: Fake Wood Floor and Fabric Set Up (http://learningtoclick.blogspot.com/2008/12/fake-wood-floor-and-fabric-set-up.html)
I tried doing my own photos - Remember this.... Trying to take photos on my own - Posh N Pretty Forum (http://www.poshnpretty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1971)
Yeah, those weren't so good.

I didn't even use lights for this set up, just natural light coming in for the french doors. I used the wood floors in the kitchen and the kitchen table to help hold up the fabric in the background. It did take us a good 2 hours to take ALL 350 photos, change out the backgrounds (fabric), and change her outfits and accessories. She got breaks in there too of course, pretzel and cookies breaks!

I'm much happier with these photos then my last attempt.

It cost me about $10 for the baseboard and clamps to hold the baseboard up and the fabric tight, I had the fabric on hand. My husband is happy b/c I told him I just saved him $100 b/c now we don't have to have her 4 year pics taken! LoL!

She is BEAUTIFUL! Oh how I wish my girls would let me take pictures of them. My son too. They are all going through this crazy phase where they won't look at the camera or won't act natural when they AREN'T looking, lol. They get these weird smiles and faces...ALL I WANT IT TO TAKE PICTURES, LOL!

[GrandmaJ]

GREAT photos girls!! And beautiful children!!!! That back drop looks great! I am always trying to take good photos of the grandkids to send to our 'faraway' relatives .. they don't always cooperate either! lol

[taylynn]

The pictures are great. Your daughter is adorable! My grandchildren are the same way, most of the time I get goofy smiles from them, the baby at 1 does pretty good recently except she wants to come to me and then she's too close.

[poshnpretty]

Lovely pictures and your DD is adorable. All pictures looks great:)

I hadn't seen that link before (for the faux background). Thanks for sharing it. Your pics look great! I love that funky zebra bow set.

[jhutchinson419]

They look great! I really need to take some pictures but everyone around me has boys!

[MsJCreations]

Adorable daughter and your pictures look great. They look like a professional photography took them. Thanks for sharing the link.

Those look wonderful! I love the backgrounds you used. I saw the tutorial on the HG forum & have been meaning to try it, but I haven't had the chance yet.

[alondra]

She is absolutely adorable! Great pictures!

[dcbaby]

Those are fantastic! I love the blue and brown fabric in the first pic. Your DD is adorable!!

Your daughter is beautiful and those pictures are beautiful. They look so professional. I love the black/pink zebra bows and the red, white & blue bows. May I ask what kind of camera you have to get those results?

I have a Sony Cyber-shot 12.1 megapixels. I got it the day it came out, but that was a year ago so of course it's "out of date" now. It's nice, takes good pics, and takes HD videos. It's a point and shoot though, not a SLR which I long for. But after seeing the pics it took from this shoot I'm actually happy with it and really don't think I need a SLR right now. I really think it's all about good lighting.

She is such a cutie-patootie! I absolutely love your wall/floor setup. Looks very professional.

[jnice123]

Your pics look great very professional looking, your daughter is beautiful. Can you please explain how you did the background?

[FRANCISBEL]

[funwithmama]

i love the pic of her from the back with the tutu and the stacked bows with them on both sides of her hair.. way too cute

[vmommy]

She is so freaking adorable! I wish my son would sit still long enough for me to take pics of him. Minus the bows and tutus...hee hee!

[jillsmom]
