The Golden Hour

My photography lesson this week focused on how and when to make backgrounds sharp, or leave them out of focus. I got to practice on this little cutie during the famous "golden hour of photography". I was pleased with the results!

One of my favorite things about this class is that I'm gaining more and more confidence in my photos straight out of camera. Editing isn't something I've ever loved. I always obsess over how much editing to do and whether my pictures look too photoshopped. Other than cropping, these photos are untouched and I'm very pleased with them.
