After this last baby is born, I am going to focus on fitness! I will have a training regimine and diet goals! I really want to get back in shape and get toned again. Say goodbye to the belly fat. I am giving myself a year after the baby is born to achieve this goal. Then it will be bikini shoots, lingerie, and some fitness/action shoots!

THis shoot was fun and very hot outside! I live so close to the place and had never been there. Great little ghost town from the 1800's. Used to be a mining camp. Great backdrops for shooting! Photographer knew how to do makeup, which is a first for me!

Guide to Model Photography
Emphasize Vertical Lines

When you see vertical lines in the right setting, you can accentuate the models. Whether they are natural, a piece of furniture, a wall, or some structure -- picturing a model next to a vertical element makes a strong impression.

Incorporate the Elements of the SpaceOne aspect of striking model photography is to incorporate the setting, the background, and features of the space into the shot. This lets the model truly stand out even with a very distinctive background that might otherwise be distracting. The viewer really wants to take a second and third look, which is your goal, of course.

Get Close and Use Angles

It's a classic for models. But it's a classic for a reason -- it works. Get as close as you can to a subject's face, though it isn't necessary to fill the frame. Always use a slight angle.

Frame It
One way to really emphasis your center of attention is to frame the shot. Literally. This type of photograph is eye-catching because we naturally focus on the area that is visually highlighted and distinct. The dramatic impact is a useful tool.

Use Nature
A mix of nature and people is an outstanding way to frame bodies and present a visually appealing image. The viewer is drawn to their bodies because of the way that they both stand out and fit in with their surroundings. You can't go wrong with a beautiful outdoor shot.

Show Some PersonalityViewers want to see some life in photographs. Plain portraits, staring at the camera, in a fixed pose can be dull. When the model shows some energy or a distinctive attitude, you have a sure winner.

Include PropsGo ahead. Bring some extra elements into the photo. These prop poses always demonstrate personality because you can emphasize some key feature that the model feels comfortable with. The emotion is evident.

Turn Around
Not all posed photos need to be from the front. Try a different direction while still showing off the model.

Go Horizontal
Posed photos of models aren't always about the standing upright, staring at the camera. Throw a different direction in there.

Use DepthWhen you get out of the studio, you can use a lot of depth in your shots. In different examples, the depth is emphasized or left unfocused so that the model stands out.
