November Family Photos – Lake Orion Michigan

Sometimes I go location scouting before a photo shoot.  It’s a great opportunity to view the world photographically and to take my time seeing images before they happen. Sometimes I love the serendipity of finding a great location while I’m walking around with a couple, but a larger group of people requires a bit of planning and foresight. Sometimes I purposely take only the iPhone with me on a photo walk because it really forces me to concentrate on lighting and composition. Below is one of the photos that I took with my iPhone while location scouting for this shoot.

And here’s the resulting image that came from it:

This next shot came to me during the walk as well. I liked the spacing of these trees and the high grass.
