Rylin: 2-3yrs

The belly shots with all three (4 now!) of you in are absolutely precious, and your wife is so beautiful!
Cutest little family ever

Thanks!

I got this one a few minutes ago. The girls were playing behind me while I was at the computer. I turned around and saw them playing in the only bit of sunlight coming into the room. I thought it looked cool!

that's an AWESOME shot Ryan!!!

If *I'd* try to shoot a shot like that it'd be all blurry and not at all artistic/beautiful!

Congratulations on your new baby girl! Rylin is adorable as always, and I can't help but notice how quickly your photography has improved since the beginning of your 365! I can only hope to grow as you have and capture such beautiful family memories That last one is phenomenal, so sharp for such little light!

Thanks very much! Taking a shot everyday will definitely improve your photography! Im always trying to learn something new so I dont get bored with it.

Here's Ry showing Avi all the toys at Toys R Us.

Aww.. Sisterly love already! She's so cute! Loving that B&W conversion as well.

Very nice work. Do you do any coloring in post?

Thank you. Sometimes I do color overlays but lately I just adjust vibrance and saturation in LR4.

Someone got into mommy's makeup this morning!

So glad I stumbled upon this thread. Some really great, inspiring photos! The story each one tells is amazing! Thanks for sharing her with us.

By the way that sunlight capture is awesome. I thought you used a flash beneath the stroller at first.
(Oh and my two year old is in love with Minnie too!)

Thank you very much!! Minnie is a staple in our household! I'm sure Rylin's little sissy, Aivan, will love Minnie too!

Here's another from this afternoon. We stopped and played at a park while mommy fed sissy.

she's so sweet!!

Hello Ryan,

I've been following this thread, and I want to compliment you on your photography skills and of course on your lovely daughter - you have a real cutie-pie of a subject there.

I know that you're asked a lot of questions about your technique, and I hope you won't mind answering one more.

What I'm wondering is: in your outdoors photos, how often are you using 100% natural light? Do you utilize OCF/modifiers often, or simple on-camera fill flash for that matter? I can't tell!

Thanks in advance for your reply,

Dave

Thanks Dave! I usually never use flash outdoors. All the pics in the thread are 100% natural light. I always shoot in shaded areas and TRY to get her facing a light source. The shot above with her wearing some of her mommy's makeup I used our house as a reflector. We were in the shade and I positioned her so sunlight reflected off our house on her face. You can kind of see it in the reflecton in her eye.

It's funny you ask today! I used my flash today! She was playing with an umbrella out in the rain and there were horrible shadows on her face so I pulled the flash out and fired a few shots.

One from today. Natural light. Taken with my new 5D3!
