You have a great eye! The photos are beautiful. I would recommend a "Fill Flash" even in full sun for portraiture. I spent 10 years in a portrait studio before I returned to teaching Montessori where I met Wendy and they Gennady. I taught David, Wendy's younger brother for several years. you are welcome to contact me if you have questions, not that I know everything, but I have shot lots! Suzanne Couch
