Although I have done a little bit of portrait photography in the past (for both humans and animals), it is not something I do very often. But having 9 nieces and nephews someone is usually willing to act as a guinea pig for me so practice on. My latest victims did pretty well and the location of this portrait shoot, the Mesa Art Center, performed very well too. This is a fantastic location for my favorite architectural photography as well as for portrait photography.
I did some “standard” posed photographs with the kids. But I prefer the more “candid” (although still slightly posed) portraits where they are kids being kids. I think it is more real and represents the subject better.
