After the longest winter ever we skipped spring and so far haven’t really been able to enjoy summer…but all that’s about to change. Are you ready? I am.
I have contest for you. We are going to go looking for summer and capture it.
This idea was inspired by capturing my daughter at a play date last week. What do little girls like to do? Dress up! WHY NOT MAKE A PHOTO SHOOT OUT OF IT…in your own backyard? More on that in a minute. First I want to go over the rules:
1. Any image you submit has to have been taken by you this summer!
2. One image per person and it must be submitted by July 8th – yes, you have the holiday weekend so this is SOOO easy! (email me at: info@noemiphotography.com)
3. I will post the pictures on my blog and on my Facebook page and you will have 1 week to get your friends and family to vote (each person can vote once on each!)
4. Lastly, you must have tons of fun doing this!
What are you entering for? Reason to get out the camera and take pictures…you’ve never entered a photography contest before or you have entered tons and have never won or you’ve won everything you’ve ever entered, but love the challenge of one more contest…you are bored with your summer so far…and YOU WANT TO WIN A NoemiPhotography E-book!
I love this cause I don’t pick the winner. YOU DO!
okay back to the inspiration of this contest. Here’s some ideas of what you can do: girls playing outside dressed as princesses, fairies, queens, dancers, and then being themselves. (Yes, my daughter is wearing make-up and yes, her friends put it on for her! Sometimes you gotta let go a little!)
Go for colors that compliment the scene...this is a fairy-like tone I chose!
Let your kids be themselves...don't direct the shoot! Adriah wanted the wand and had to wait her turn!
Capture the sweetness of the moment - not necessarily the kids saying "Cheese!" and looking at the camera
Look at that hair! and that smile!
You could go Black and White and let the expressions speak for themselves!
Full color is beautiful...did I mention you should let them do whatever they want! Dancing is beautiful to capture.
let them run!
or swing in the trees...She made it look so easy even in her princess gown.
This shot makes me laugh so hard. Adriah, bless her, is not a swing-from-the-tree-branch kind of girl. Even funnier, her feet never left the ground. I love you sweetheart!
"All I want to do is dance!"
Don't get me wrong I love a classic portrait shot as much as the next girl...take what inspires you!
