I spent the weekend with my Mum & sister on Saturday, and one of my best friends and her kids on Sunday. We took the kids to the Nepean River and I had my camera with me so I could take some pics of Kelly and her gorgeous kids as a bit of a belated birthday present for her.
We had so much fun watching the kids play together, and it was definitely a learning experience in more ways than one. I learnt about the challenges of shooting in midday light, with lots of contrast between shade and sun. I also learnt that trying to conduct a shoot with both of your own small children in tow is not the best of ideas!
I have told Kelly I want to take some more pictures another day when I don't have to take the girls with me, as I'm not happy with all of the shots and would like to try again. I did however manage to get quite a few good ones, and I thought I would share a couple of them today...

Great photo's Kylie! Yes - shooting in the midday sun is fraught with trouble - sun flares, harsh shadows on faces etc - but you have done an excellent job! Looks like you had a fabulous day too! Min x
