Taking Pictures Next To A Window
Remember the Nana and Me photos? A friend on Facebook asked me a question about taking pictures of her kids, and I decided to make this example to show her where to place her kids and herself next to a window when taking pictures. This is the setup we used to take those pictures with my mom.
I clear out all of the stuff in that corner whenever I want to do a photo shoot in the house, as I like the blank space and the beautiful light. It’s best if you can choose a north-facing window as well.
I'm a farm-raised almost-crunchy stroller-pushing picture-taking lifestyle-blog-writing gastronomy-obsessed divine-seeking thrift-store-combing cheese-inhaling pavement-pounding laughter-sprinkling lover of individuality and taking chances.
Awesome little desk nook! Great clock! I’m swooning.

1Good to know, thanks for sharing. Is there a specific time of day you try to shoot at?

With that room, between 11-1 is best. I watch the light to see how it changes.

3Jenna,
What a great idea, now that it is lighter much later into the day I will be able to come home from work and have my favorite kind of light to work with, end of day daylight (twilight?). I love that is gives the golden glow of the sun. I am going to try this this weekend!!
