@@oceaniccurrents it does yes! Thank you 😊

Thank you so much! I noticed the same thing-big part of why I include those parts!

how did it go? any tips? i have my first family shoot in two weeks

Thank you so much!! 😊

Awesome! Will take this into account! Is there a specific reason you are interested in knowing these settings?

@@selenicabruce9721 I'm a new family and portrait photographer so would love to see how these are structured based on lighting and environment.

Definitely get on ALL those family/mom groups on facebook and your local/community groups. Post some pics of your past family sessions and you should be all set 😄

Thank you so much Ms. Terri! I use lightroom to edit all of my pictures and make my own presets.

@@selenicabruce9721 awesome do you sell you presets?

Place the focus on the eyes or face, make sure to keep a shutter speed of the same focal length or hight, I normally go for 200 or so, compensate for the shakes. This video was a big help for me, doing my first family photo shoot.

I use my own presets!!

So this location was set up and owned by a lady who opened it specifically for photographer to take their clients. Her goal was to eventually make the property into a wedding venue. I think a wedding or two took place in that forest area.

@@selenicabruce9721 Love, love, LOVE this session. I tried to find this venue to no avail. Is it still available to photographers?

Hello Brandon! Thank you for the kind words! I have only shot with Nikon professionally. It actually started with me buying and selling camera equipment. Because I was already using the Nikon system it was easy to buy and sell Nikon brand stuff (the lenses are also typically more expensive). With this I was able to stockpile some great equipment for low prices. If I hadn’t done this, I honestly would have switched to Canon-a 5D MIII most likely. From experience shooting with Sony, Nikon and Canon, I believe the Nikon glass to be the best/sharpest. I also LOVE Nikon colors over the others (they are less warm and less contrasty). But other than this, Nikon non-mirrorless cameras don’t compare to competitors. The other brands have much better video/AF capabilities. If you choose to go Nikon I would go mirrorless (with the future in mind) unless you are on a budget. 😊 P.S. The reason I have not upgraded to the d750 (which I had been seriously considering) is because of the way the screen is designed. It is nice that the screen folds up, but because of this you cannot put a full plastic screen cover over it like the d610, it would be more likely to break. I am currently saving up to go mirrorless.

A Nikon D610!

@@selenicabruce9721 Ok, thanks!

I believe it started about 2 hrs before sunset. If you are shooting under tree cover you need to start your session there and not start it too late in the day or else it will be too dark.

Hello Wesley! I create my own presets!

This was my longest session 1.5hrs :)

Definitely my 35mm!

Nope! 35 and 50mm!

I can set up a zoom session with you where we make a preset based on your tastes!

Yes! 😂
