If getting good portraits of one or two people is challenging, getting a good group photo is astronomically more difficult.  As part of my third and final Professional Imaging excursion, I participated in a group portrait shoot-out.  My group and I were allotted fifteen minutes to organize our class for one full shoot and four smaller sub-group shots, which were arranged in advance.   If these photos are any indication, I still have a lot to learn about staging and shooting group portraits, especially when cooperating with other photographers.        ...

Nick, Tina, Oz and Mac Leishman were a delight to work with.  The sun broke with perfect timing, bringing their beautifully coordinated outfits of navy and yellows to life. The little boys were rambunctious and far more interested in throwing rocks into the stream, playing with sticks, and otherwise being boys, but I still managed to get a few sweet shots of them.  Nick was reserved and dignified, and his wife Tina was so sweet.                ...
