Family Portraits – Killalea State Park – Illawarra Photographer

Posted by Ela on Jun 5th, 2010 | no comments

Tammy and her gorgeous family.. shot at 8:00 in the morning just before Christmas last year. The light was warm, the clouds were formed to perfection and the sea mist rode the morning swells.. Nothing better than a family portrait session before the working day starts.

Classic shot below.. Had a bit of trouble getting the kids into the swing of our morning portrait session, a shot worth capturing. I spoke with Tammy 6 months later and she said ‘I love that shot! I still have it as my desktop wallpaper’ lol. Now it occurs to me more every day that memories aren’t about flawless images and looking like a superstar ..they’re about creating moments like these that make you crack up in 10 years time.

LOL

Shot with my 580EX2 canon speedlight, metered for the sky first then filled the shot with 1/1 power in manual mode. Love the limited editing required with flash shots.
