i recently got the entire edit of the {N} family complete so i thought i’d share a few of my faves as i always like to do. and just so you know, this was hard to narrow down. i guess when you shoot a good-looking family… you get good-looking photos.
and what’s a shoot without breaking out the fisheye…call me dorky but i just LOVE this lens!

i recently had the pleasure of photographing my past co-workers daughter, Alyssa, for her senior pics and boy was it fun! i have to admit i was a little nevous too. not having done a ‘true’ shoot since last fall added to the fact that i’m over 7 months pregnant, had me up a few nights. in the end, however, i couldn’t have asked for anything better. maybe it’s because i’m surrounded by pre-schoolers all day, but it was SO nice to have someone listen to me and actually DO what i ask. add that to her flawless skin, crystal blue eyes and bubbly personality and you’ve got yourself one fantastic shoot. thanks, alyssa, for allowing me to be a little part of an exciting year ahead.
enjoy!!!
here are just a few of my MANY faves.
OK…I have to admit..I went into panic mode today. ME??…panic mode??…never…yeah, right! Problems have never been my strong suit…maybe being the last child, having parents do everything for you because they’re tired and they’ve given up (I only know exactly why now after becoming a parent), or maybe it’s just my hardwire…whatever the case I HATE problems! So anyway, all excited for my shoot this morning, I drag the {T} family down to the boonies, dirt road after gravel road….only to find this beautiful old barn I was planning on shooting by had been torn down…grrr! Unfamiliar with the ‘backwoods’ but knowing I needed another location (preferably nearby), I buzz on down the road to find another barn and highly un-manicured area (ditchweed galore and white trash bags hanging on the gate). Though unlike the first location, this one is someone’s main property. Luckily the owner was available to ask if we could use and, graciously, she allowed. So we proceed with the shoot as I’m desperately trying to get a handle on the lighting. Thinking all was well (histograms looking good), I called it a wrap. Later, however, when I downloaded the photos, I noticed this crazy ‘HAZE’ on many of the photos?? WTH….fog, dew, mist…ditchweed residue??? Now I start to panic, thinking NO photos will be salvageable. I must RESEARCH…my answer to everything. If google has a frequency tracker…I’m up near the top of the list. So, what was this crazy phenomenon??….FLARE! Now I’m not totally new to flare, I just thought it was usually pretty dots and/or starry looking suns. Nope, sun flare comes in all shapes and sizes, just like……well, never mind. And get this…the kind I captured, I found to be highly coveted by some. So sorry {Z}, if the rainbow on your face makes you feel any less of a man….I think it’s just your better half making you shine 😉
