Quick portraits- backyard style

jeffreaux2

Hi all!! I took the dog out yesterday, and saw some interesting lighting in the back yard. I rushed my wife out for a couple quick shots. Not sure if I took advantage of the light, but they are keepers none the less.

Here is one in BW


And one in color with the love of her life!!!

Wow Jeff, Now I know where your beautiful daughter gets her good looks. Nice photos and YES, they are keepers. I suggest you keep the wife and the dog too

Yah, your daughter probably got her good looks from you because your wife still has hers!!!

That is the case in my family as well. I know how you feel.

my advice is to ALWAYS think your wife is better looking than you...which is usually the case, we are less picky about looks than y'all men

I was being my humourous self.......she is as beautiful as the day we met, and more so in many respects. We have enjoyed 21 years of marriage since last May.

Thanks, she is very camera shy....cannot stand to be photographed, and is very uncomfortable while being photographed. I think Pepper (the doggy)lightened the moment for her.

#2 is great!

these are fantastic. I love the color one, she seems warmer and more relaxed, but they're both wonderfully composed and lit.

And I'll chime in too on how gorgeous your wife is...Wow!

Nice shots. She has a beautiful smile.

photogenic woman marries photographer.... hmmm.... conspiracy, I say, conspiracy.

Definitely going with #2 here - you were right in saying she looks a lot more relaxed in #2, probably why you kept the dog in the first place. I just hope I can find someone that photogenic, and willing to let me drag her into the backyard for a few shots on a whim

It is a give and take kinda thing. I get dragged places I am not so comfortable with also!
