‘Rents Portraits

Posted on by

I LOVE these pictures. This afternoon will stay with me for as long as I draw breath. My parents are so much fun to be with. They were, of course, apprehensive about posing for portraits. To settle their nerves, I hooked the camera up to the laptop and then ran the HDMI cable to the 60″ television.  Then, I set up Lightroom to shoot tethered and snapped a few shots. In short order, they were hamming it up and enjoying the experience.

My favorite…
