Here are some photos I took this weekend when my family all got together to celebrate my mom's birthday.
I would love to hear what you think in terms of composition and processing. I have a tendency to get in really close. That bites me in the butt sometimes because I can't print in an 8x10 ratio without losing some of the photo.

They are all cute! I super love the one with your daughter and nephew, the light on their faces is great!

[Shanleigh]

Thank you! That is my favorite one too. I finally bought a reflector set and was testing it out. I wish I could just play all day!

lol..I was just looking for a set online last night! What size did you get?

[Shanleigh]

Good question. I didn't even pay attention to the fact that they come in different sizes. When I bought my flash, Amazon suggested the reflectors as an add-on, and let's be honest. I am easy.
I'll measure them and get back to you. I'd say at least 3' in diameter.

Shannon, I love the closeup compisitions, too! I hear you on the printing ration dilema...I ran into the same problem last summer when I shot a large family photo of my husband's entire family. I gotta say, when you're trying to round up 26-some people...printing ratio isn't necessarily the first thing on your mind! I've made a mental note for next time, though.
