Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the family room at my parents house, who live in the country in central Minnesota.

Time

With a newborn baby, the days fly by because they love to sleep and cuddle. This was mid-day, because shortly after this we fell asleep together on the chair, for an afternoon nap.

Lighting

Personally, I think that natural light is the most beautiful and inspiring light out there and it is just so real.

Equipment

This was shot with a Nikon D90 and a 50mm 1.8 lens.

Inspiration

From the beginning of my love story, starting with meeting and dating my husband I have had this urge to write my story. I love to write, but even more I love to take photos. Looking back on my photos, I am absolutely fascinated by the beautiful and blessed life that I have been able to live. When my son arrived it was like a whole new world. The sun shone brighter, the snow was more pure, smiles meant so much more, and more and more moments were captured. I was inspired to take this photo because he changes each day, it seems minimal but a month, several months and even years from now, this is all I will be able to hold onto of his sweet newborn baby days.

Editing

With natural light the coloring is at its best, but I did do some post processing. I added some warmth and brightened the image a little bit.

In my camera bag

I pack around my Nikon D90, 50mm lens and 35mm lens.

Feedback

Take a moment, each day or week to capture natural life, the way it is and the way you live it.
