Skovbo Family Christmas Shoot

As much as I absolutely love photography and taking pictures, I get so bummed out when pictures don't turn out the way I want them to look. Of course, I want to settle for no less than perfection, but I am by no means perfect, so I'm going to have to settle for less, lol. I desperately need a set of lights. Those umbrella type lights to set up for indoor shoots. I don't even know what they're called! That's pretty bad, huh? Anyway, I love how we all look in these pictures, and of course the people in them, but I'm so discouraged by the lighting. I tried the best I could but just didn't get it right. Granted I only have the flash on my camera (the standard one, not even an external one) for now, but still......*sigh*ugh*sigh*. I'm annoyed by the shadows and I wanted the one with all of us to look so much better. Oh well. Hopefully we're good looking enough people that no one notices the shadows and the lighting. LOL!
