In the past I have used my niece and nephews as my models/muses to practice. Sometimes, you have moments when you don't worry about harsh shadows and perfect lighting, etc.
Took these last night with my Canon 10D (which I love for people photography) at the moving away party. My sister and her family are moving to Kansas City, so this will be the last time I see them for a couple of months.
This is Carly, 10 years old, and she is not afraid of me, or the camera!!We were playing football in the backyard and during a break they were putting face paint on to scare me.
