I took this photo in my living room in-front of our Christmas treeTime
In the eveningLighting
I just used the lighting of the Christmas tree and also put string lights in the book while my daughter held it in her lap .Equipment
I used my Sonya99Inspiration
Every year since my children were babies I would take this photo . It has become our annual tradition and our family and friends love seeing them every year ! Since this photo we have now added another little one to the crew and she gets in the picture even year as well !Editing
I just removed the visible cord from the string lights and added vignetteIn my camera bag
I always carry my two SonyA camera bodies as well as a selection of lenses for each scenario I may encounter while shooting . I also keep lollipops and bug spray which come in quiet handy when photographing children outdoors ! :)Feedback
Keep practicing and have lots of patience ! Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t turn out the way you want the first time , never give up !
