I haven’t taken many photos of my own children lately. I really want to do a better job of capturing them while they are still so young. It is amazing how quickly they grow up.

I am taking an online photography class that is geared towards shooting in different and more difficult lighting conditions. This assignment was supposed to be shot in full sun. This is a lighting scenario that I usually avoid like the plague! It is so difficult to get flattering portraits. This time we were supposed to use backlighting–where the sun is behind your subject pointing at the camera.

I love how these captured the many faces of Nora!
