My Second Photo Shoot

So about two weeks after I took Lydia's pictures we ventured out with the children to a nearby park to take there school pictures.  I completely dislike the pictures that they take at school, so I usually only order those if it's either their first or last year of school at the particular school they are in.  Then I get their picture taken by someone else.  This year with the new camera I opted to do it myself.  This photo shoot turned out much better.  I really can see the difference lighting makes, and as I don't have the money for a great flash or reflective mattes (or whatever they are called)  I have to learn to work with the light nature gives me.  I am learning so much about lighting and how it effects pictures.  Here are a few of the pictures I took:
