I have been photographing Erin and her two sisters since they were toddlers. Our families are friends.<\/p>\n<p>By now all three sisters know the difference between good and bad light for portraits. One Saturday Erin said to her mother &#8220;This is perfect light for portraits, Is Jim in town?&#8221; I was out of town, but when I got back the next day, the light was still great so we did portraits.<\/p>\n<p>My preferred light for portraits outside is a &#8220;cloudy bright&#8221; day, just enough clouds to minimize shadows but not so many clouds as to be gloomy. If you look at the ground and there is no shadow or just a hint of a shadow, that is perfect portrait light. Of course you leave the gray cloudy sky out of your images when you do the portraits.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20775\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150825-Erin-5D3-3379b-w7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20775\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20775\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150825-Erin-5D3-3379b-w7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"583\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Erin<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Just look at those eyes!
