{ Photoshop Actions | Here Comes the Sun! | A Styled Family Session }
I know … it’s crazy. Another session with the Manning family so soon already? We had so much fun a couple weeks ago that we headed out again for more (okay, maybe I had most of the fun, but if they dig down deep the rest of the family would admit it wasn’t all that bad for them either). My five year old, Adeline, played stylist with me as I let her pick some of the props and session ideas.
The light was glorious and one of our first sunny days we’ve had here in our little rainy Oregon town in many months. I was able to use one of my favorite go to actions again, Pop My Flare! from the Fresh set. For Elements users lusting after this action, look for the upcoming Fresh Wonderland II set which will give PSE users all the actions they’ve been missing out on from the Fresh and Wonderland sets. I also used a good heaping of Picture Perfect with a little Moxie and Coffee House mixed in. So much fun! I’ll be posting some recipes and tips from both this session and the last family session in the coming week … possibly even a video tutorial and tips on sun flare!
I have SO many photos from this shoot, but I didn’t want to bombard everyone with a photo overload. So, look for the second part of this post to be up this weekend with the other half of this session’s photos. For the photographers out there interested, these were taken with a Nikon D700 and either my Nikon 35mm 1.4G lens or my 85mm 1.4G. Most were taken at f1.4, with the exception of a couple family shots at f2.5.

Soooooo Beautiful ! ???
Annie, these are so beautiful! What a precious little family you have! Love the one with all of you looking at your little one 🙂
Those were saposed to be hearts
I just want to tell you how much I LOVE your family pictures! I live in small Chubbuck, ID! and finding a photographer is a mess here. I love taking pictures! You really inspired me to try and take our pictures. I am looking into buying a lens, would you tell me what lens is better between these three: 70-300mm, 50 mm f/1.4 or 18-200mm?
Thank you so much!

I personally prefer primes, so I would choose the 50mm 1.4 … however, lens choice is a highly personal one. 🙂 Thanks!!
LOOOOVE these! So do you do a wardrobe change while out there? Gosh I wish I could get my family pics this good! I did do one with a remote on Easter, I’ll have to upload it on your page, I think you’d be proud! 😀 Can’t wait to see your recipes!
