Breaking the Rules

So I feel like I have kind of lost myself as an artist. When I first started shooting, I did a lot of chopping people's heads off and odd angles. The more I take classes and learn the "rules" and the more I do shoots of people, I end up taking the picture that I think the family wants instead of shooting the pictures that I want. I follow the rules. So in order to relight my fire I took Josie (my daughter) out for a little bit of playing. OK, a lot of playing. But I couldn't help it. She's my most photogenic--and most playful. It feels good just to break the rules.

Great pics! Love the vibrant color. Just out of curiosity, what rules are these pics "breaking?" :) I do understand what you mean, tho.
