A few weeks ago we had a selection of Lori Miller’s quilts. We thought that the elements at a local community garden would compliment Lori’s work. Outdoor photo shoots are a blast. There are so many places to explore and there will always be something new.

Have you ever taken some photographs and thought they were great until you got home and looked at them on your computer? Outdoor photo shoots are a lot of fun, but can also be tricky.  The week we had the quilts, it was either sunny or pouring rain, so we had a lot of trial and error to get good shots of her quilts.

Ideal photography weather is overcast because there isn’t too much light causing harsh shadows. If it’s really sunny, I usually try to find as many shaded areas as I can and use those areas for my photos. As the day goes on and the sun moves, the shaded areas change, giving me more places to take pictures!

With some work, we were able to photograph Lori’s quilts and show all of their beauty!

Check out the final photos below!
