THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!

[@joncothranphotography9375]

Awesome location! Awesome shoot! Awesome images! Thanks!

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

Ahh the final tip... so true, we lock into that shot with the perfect light and composition. It’s maybe because we become so obsessed with creating quality pictures. But sometimes changing the angle can make such a story of that moment. Very well described here. Must remind myself to go back to that.

[@FotisAthanasopoulos]

Found myself thinking the exact same thing! So true!

[@Rainy78]

Love the sword fight idea! Thanks for sharing! 👌🏻😁

[@brendanvandermerwe6952]

Brilliant photos and great tutorial thank you

[@memogutierrez4417]

This is a great resource! Thank you!

[@raidingtombs]

Love this!

[@blackfootgunner8872]

Siiiick tutorial. Thank you!

[@yellowberrypie]

Love this, my cousin asked me to do their pics Sunday so this helps

[@daveetrice]

Great tips Pye!!!

[@richardterrell5309]

This is what I call natural photography, I like your approach to lighting, getting the family into being active, taking various positions.

[@MichaelVanceMusic]

I'm doing a fall family shoot tomorrow and this video is GOLD ❤️ Thank you!

[@bubbarangel6890]

I’m finally pushing my photography and I finally started to do family sessions ( I have one in a week) and I really appreciate all of your knowledge, this was awesome!

[@dayknowltonjr]

Love it! Got a shoot today!!!!! Excited about wide medium and tight.

[@technoalah]

Awesome tips and photos

[@msh-xw8wl]

Very helpful Pye!

[@charmaineembestro1226]

That was really helpful thanks Pye! Love the different angles and showing different perspectives. Awesome way to tell a story!

[@TracumsIvars]

Thank you Pie for consistently one of the best educational content!

[@astrorickym5300]

Great to see the family of Lighting 101 growing! 🙂 This is a great series, in my opinion, due to the combination of a few elements: perfect exploitation of an awesome location, great natural action and, last but most certainly not least, the color grading! The whole series looks like a fairy tale! Are there tutorials on SRL Lounge for learning this editing skills, besides of using a preset??

[@krisperry72]

Fantastic! Haven’t done many family portraits, but this gives me a better understanding and want to shoot more. I appreciate sharing with us.

superb! ❤️

[@jamesjonesphotography]

Referring to your clients being natural, I could take 20 images of an individual and personally never be happy with a single one if I failed to get them to be natural in there expressions. I find that is one of the greatest skills to build is getting your clients to relax around you.
