Friends don’t let Friends not practice | San Francisco Photographer: Natasha Leigh

It’s nice having friends who let me torture practice on them when I want to try new photography stuff! Ahem. These are two different shoots and while I know Asia has graced our presence before, I (personally) can’t get enough of her. I just wanted to put a little blog post together to remind fellow photographers to practice whenever you get the chance! A year of self portraits can’t even compare with the feedback of an honest friend and something to show for your real progress. I signed up for Model Mayhem recently as I’m finding I really LOVE these kinds of shoots. I love the intimacy between photographer and model! I definitely think weddings, couples and families will always be a passion of mine. There’s just something special about these kinds of shoots. Enjoy!

These are from Mare Island a few weeks ago. My problem lately is so many of these photos turn out great I have a problem deciding which to share with you!!

Julia came along and I was so excited I actually got her behind my camera for a few photos! <3 Love her.

These are from yesterday’s shoot. My friend Chris of CMC Photography went with Asia and I so we could try out a few things I’ve learned from the Grays!

She’s stunning, yeah??? ;)

Chris, doing his thing! I am really beginning to love off camera lighting! And PS, it’s Asia’s Birthday. You should all wish her a very Merry, Happy, Amazing Birthday =)
