A chance to practice portraits

portrait of woman at coffee shop I recently returned from a trip to New York City where I visited my daughters and grandson.  They live in Manhattan.  I don’t get to practice portraits often, so I was glad for the opportunity while I was there.

My daughter Nicole let me do a photo shoot with her one day.  Her hat inspired me to process the photos in a vintage tone.

My grandson was difficult to photograph because he likes making faces when you try and take a photo of him.  But I did manage to get one where he chose his own pose.  I really like the red door shot in his.  I also tried a vintage tone on his photo.

I didn’t get a chance to photograph my other daughter, but a Blipfoto friend from London, was in NYC at the same time. She did a great photo shoot with her.  Here’s one of the photos.

I wasn’t really interested in doing portraits until this last year.  I hope I can have more opportunity in the future.

    Love the ones of Nicole! She is so gorgeous! And I like the vintage one of your grandson – not that the other one isn’t nice, I think I just like the more golden look personally :) You’d be a great portrait photographer to add to all your amazing landscapes. Hope it was a fun trip!

    Thanks so much Joellen! I am so glad to hear what you think about E’s photo. The one you like is my fav as well. I was just curious to get some feedback on it. And thanks, I did have a great trip!

    I love the ones of your daughter! You did a beautiful job. I am taking some maternity photos of a friend tonight, and it’s my first real attempt at portraits, too. I’m excited!
