A few recent favorites from May, 2009

A few recent captures….

Thanks for all the praise on my new website,  I really appreciate it.

My blog has been a bit neglected since I moved and started renovating our new house!    But I wanted to share a few with you all.

Saturday session – two adorable siblings & mom

I got the chance to do a session with another adorable 1 year old girl – little Lauren. She’s only 4 days older than my own princess.

Her brother, Alex, was very handsome, and an energetic little boy.  My little pond in my yard turned out to  be the best distraction to get a nice candid shot of him.

Here’s some of my favorites, and a sneak-peak for mommy. Thanks for coming by!

Kids = Life = Color

As stylish monochromatic images can be, I love working with color when all things fall into place. Here there are no distracting objects of colors that would subtract the focus on the subject and the colors basically jumps out at you. And I can’t think about anything more livelier than toddlers.

 

From this last Christmas – 2007

This is when my photography started to improve, due to two factors – We moved to a house, which has large windows. (Not to mention a huuuge backyard that I am looking forward to use in the spring, summer and fall). I also dived into a bunch of Photoshop tutorials. Taking the photos is just half the job – the other time is spent in Photoshop CS3 where I finalize and edit each photo that I consider to be a keeper. Here is one of my daughter, Freya. She is sitting in our living room and I used the only source of light that was available – the window.

Wow… the word passes on fast!

Thanks to my friends, the word of my new career is moving fast. I appreciate it! That also means I need to put up more photos, so you can see what I can do. Experience and practice makes me better, so I believe my newest work is always the best. Nowadays I am also shooting RAW which is a digital negative and doesn’t compress images like JPEG does.
