After our April “la classe” photography workshop, I once again challenged the group to go home and practice using their cameras on full manual mode – indoors and out. We’re now having a friendly little contest over on facebook between the ones who were brave enough to enter.

Here were the rules:
Cameras on full manual mode. Using only natural light. Shot indoors or outdoors. NO editing afterwards. Not even a crop. All images are straight out of camera. One photo submitted per person.

I am quite proud of the images that came in! These are all great, especially for chasing around kids while practicing! It’s not as easy as it looks.  They all did an awesome job, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing these families are going to benefit from beautiful images that get taken over the years by these Moms. (Just don’t forget to get yourself in photos too Moms!)

So, to GO VOTE for your favorite photo, head over to the L Photographie facebook page to “like” the photo and “like” L Photographie. Only “likes” that also “like” L Photographie will count. VOTING ENDS MONDAY MAY 6 at midnight. Winner announced on Tuesday MAY 7. The winner will receive a FREE digital mini session with me, Kristie Cromie, (a $650 value)!
