Sibling Portraits

I've been playing more with off-camera lighting, and I convinced my siblings to model for me to test techniques some more.

Janna






Christon
These were taken at the end our driveway, so we had to move out of the way when cars came by. Thanks to dad and Janna for assisting me with lights.




Becca




Love this overly-characterized school teacher pose

Scenery

A few pretty scenic shots from my parents' house

Pretty Horses

A week in Maine is never complete without a few horse photos.

Doggie Fashion Shoot

I decided to a shoot with the dogs so I dragged Janna outside to be my assistant and dog wrangler.



I love that Sky looks like she's howling at the moon, when in fact she's just trying to reach the stick Janna's holding.


Marggie was such a good model

Family Card Game

I was playing around with my lensbaby and flash during a fun game of Apples to Apples.





Angelic Janna


The flash may have been a tad hot... but I like the effect






Shining the flash through our red and orange tablecloth

Best sibling photo ever

One of my favorite photos from the week was taken by my dad. This shot was only partly set up: three of us were sitting on the floor with our laptops, so dad called for Janna to come in and complete the set. We're even sitting in birth order! I believe the dogs were also already there. Got to love all the Macs :)

Christmas in Maine

I spent a great week with my family in the lovely state of Maine!

First we'll start with a mandatory cute kitty photo


One of dad's stocking gifts


Cute wind-up toys in our stockings


My brother taking a photo with his phone


Awwwww.....


This blur of a dog is Rozzie


Janna was holding little Sky in really nice light, so I made her stay still for a bit for some photos




One of my new favorite photos of Janna


Cool socks and Ivan




This photo intrigues me for some reason


Family photo time! We try to do a photo each year in the living room, so this was done around 1am when we realized it was the last time we'd all be together. I had tripped over my sister while running into my spot which got us all laughing.


The DeWan family! (Missing from photo: 2 cats, 6 horses, and 7 chickens)
