Mike, Courtney, and Lexi

Well, I had my first family session on Saturday! I offered to do portraits for my coworker Courtney, as I am looking to expand my portfolio and gain experience. She has an adorable 4 month old daughter, Lexi. We decided to go to her aunt's farm to do the pictures.

It was definitely a learning experience for me. I'm STILL figuring out this new lens. The depth-of-field thing is very, very tricky. I'm glad I took a lot of photos, because I had to prune out a lot! Also, I realized later that my metering mode was set to partial instead of evaluative, which I believe caused a lot of shots to be rather blown out. That was aggravating :(. BUT, I think I got some good shots nonetheless, and Courtney liked them!

Here are a few of my favorites:
