So it is fall and people are prone to wanting holiday pictures. I rather enjoy fall leaves to the point that I planted multiple trees that get fall colors even in Las Vegas. Crape Myrtles, a Pomegranate tree, and I used to have a Plum tree.
I have put children on ladders to have the leaves as a background, had them pose with leaves, in chairs under the tree and some others. This year quite a few leaves have already fallen because of some winds which made me decide on a different approach. I got on the step ladder and they laid down in the grass and leaves.
There was good lighting, I think that the worst part was getting the kids to not squint from looking at a daylit sky. Getting the towels hidden was a bit of a pain. I will try to remember to not use white ones when the subject is wearing something other that white.
Alright that is it good luck with any and all holiday photos. I would love to see what others are shooting. Also if you have any photography questions then feel free to put them in the comments and I will get to them.
