You’d never know it was a million degrees out for this photo shoot. These twins rocked their senior session & had so many fun ideas. We had horses, fishing, flags, flowers, trucks, disc golf... so many great things to feature! Loved getting to spend an evening with these blue-eyed siblings, exploring all of their interests and trying not to melt under the July sun while we did it 😂 worth every second! I edited so many favorites for this sneak peek, see tons more here >> https://www.taryn.photography/blog/bp/maggy—dayne

It’s always surreal photographing someone who I took pictures of as a toddler... first, because TIME and second, because that must mean I’ve been doing this for a lonnnnnng time :) At any rate, it’s always an honor getting to capture a family for years upon years, and seeing kids grow. Haven has always been a beauty inside and out, and it was so fun to spend an evening with her and preserving what’s important to her in picture form. Senior photo shoots hold a special place in my heart, because each is so unique and packed with personality and hobby, mixed with anticipation for what the future holds. ✨ More on the blog! >> https://www.taryn.photography/blog/bp/haven

Little Freddy came to our photo session fast asleep! He wasn’t even too ruffled when we woke him up to take a bunch of pictures :) What a sweet boy. We also had the full Central IL weather experience during our photo shoot... rain, clouds, sunshine, and blue skies, all within a 30 minute window. We made the best of it and got some sweet captures of this little 6 month old guy and his family. More on the blog >> https://www.taryn.photography/blog/bp/frederick

The sweetest, cutest little baby who basically slept happily through our entire session. The very few times that she stirred, a paci calmed her right down and put her back to sleep. She made my job SO easy, and just look at her! I wanted to keep her :) but mom and dad and big sister kind of like her, too. Enjoy a little peek into our session the other day>> https://www.taryn.photography/blog/bp/coralyn

I’m still not over these creek minis from this past weekend. Amidst tons of rain, muddy trails, a location change & a misleading map, all of the awesome families who participated were troopers and hiked down to a sweet little creek area for these fun water minis. I’m thinking these will be a staple of my every summer going forward.

SO many darling kids ready to brave the water, splash around, throw rocks, and get a little sandy... not to mention tromp around on the rocks barefoot. Enjoy a peek into our morning below, I’m sharing several more on my blog because social media only allows me 20 and believe me, I could easily share 20 images per session 😂.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I’m quieter on here during the summer because of the change in pace. Kids are home from school, our days are full, and there’s less time to make updates, but that’s ok!

I’m busy behind the camera, too and will continue to post client sneak peeks and photo tips here and there. Creek minis are tomorrow 😍 (go away, rain!!) and July will be my busiest month of the summer for photo shoots.

I’ll open Fall booking in mid-July, so make sure you’re on my email list if you want to be the first to know when my calendar opens. Can’t believe we are already talking Fall 🍁 Just over here getting in all sunshine, pool time and popsicles that we can!

Creek Minis 🌿💦 are live!

These are the perfect little summer sesh that you can use for virtually anything. The only mini session opportunity I’ll offer this year until Christmas time. Snag one while you can! >> https://www.taryn.photography/book-now

Sweet, silly and ornery little Halle gave us the sweetest garden photo shoot a few days ago! I love seeing her sparkly eyes tell the story of her personality. Give me a cute baby, sunshine, flowers, and garden pictures every.single.day.

This family is a part of my First Years Collective, which is the perfect way to capture the sweetest milestones as a child grows. As we all know, it happens WAY too fast. The only remedy I have found for it thus far is to take pictures... frequently :)

Enjoy a little peek into our morning together!

I’m a professional photographer and I didn’t take my nice camera with me on vacation. I used my iPhone the entire time, including for this little photo sesh on the beach. Here’s how I did it so you can, too:

Timing > 5pm. It was still VERY bright and another hour would’ve helped, both with reducing the busy-ness on the beach and with the lighting. But I made it work and the white sands of Siesta Key were a lovely natural reflector!

Lighting > I almost always put the sun behind my subject and/or to the side when capturing their face. Creative shots, you can take more liberty and use backlighting or direct sunlight on your subject.

Tripod > bring one. I totally forgot ours and I was so bummed. Thankfully, a sweet lady on the beach saw me struggling to see a shot up and prop the phone up on my stroller and offered to take a few. She did great and the only thing I needed to deal with was editing out people in the background, which is super easy now with Lightroom’s AI feature!

Mode > I used portrait mode for every single shot. My camera worked hard and in the hot FL sun it did start to overheat…I had to take a few quick breaks but overall it did great and portrait mode gives you that soft background and fine focus you want 👌🏻

Editing > I edited all of these on my phone using a custom preset in Lightroom.

Printing > I likely won’t go above an 8x10, but I probably could (I’ve gone up to 12x12 before with phone shots and they’ve printed great!) 4x6s and 5x7s will print beautifully!

I’m not saying, don’t ever take your nice camera along. But a strong case can certainly be made to use your device in hand to get the job done. No, the quality is not top tier excellent as a DSLR raw image might be, but do you really need that for a casual vacation beach sesh?

Enjoy the tips and save for later if you’ll use them! 📸
