We spent this last Thanksgiving in Utah with Matt’s family. It was a much needed long break! :) Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was able to give two of my sisters-in-law a little photography lesson. I didn’t go into the technical things about the camera or editing, but we talked about composition, light, and focus.

After teaching a little, we went out into the front and back yard and they just practiced! I followed them around to help and answer questions. They did an awesome job!!

Here is a quick shot we took of their front yard. Isn’t it an awesome view? You can see  Utah Lake from their front yard.Photography classes, contribution photography, utah,

Here are some of my favorite shots that they took. Didn’t they take awesome photos?! I was so impressed with them! They composed every shot well. All of their photos are interesting and in focus.

Here are some of Lindsey’s:

My two favorites are Lindsey’s flower/sunset photo and Ellie’s photo of the mountains. I had so much fun doing this with Lindsey and Ellie! I was happy that they were willing to play with me.

 

Later that night, there was a beautiful sunset…so of course I had to take a quick pic. :)Photography classes, contribution photography, utah,
