2nd photo shoot with my new camera!

I was going to pick just 20 for the slideshow, but I found it too hard to choose. This was such a fun family to work with! Thanks again, J, for allowing me the opportunity to capture these precious moments for you and your husband, Z, while he is away in Iraq. I hope you are pleased.

Just a note about the tree you will see with the heart carved in it. It originally had a J+E in it, so I just played around with it on Photoshop Elements 5.0, and switched the 'E' to a 'Z' so that her and her husband's initials of J+Z would appear in the heart. Just thought it was a cute idea to experiment with.

As always, your comments, and especially constructive criticisms, are so very welcome!

Finally, this is just a collage I was playing around with. I like how it turned out.

Thanks for taking the time to peek at my photography journal!

Backyard visitor...just passin' through

I was feeding our son in the dining room, when my eye caught movement in our backyard through the window of the patio door. When I went to check it out, here's what I saw...you know I had to run and get my camera ; ) He was there for less than a minute before taking off again, but not before I was able to catch the picture.

Unfortunately, I don't have a long range zoom lens so this was as close as I could crop it to see it better...

Here's the original...

Any recommendations for zoom lenses for shots like these? I would love to collect suggestions for my resource file!

By the way, I finished editing the photo shoot with the children and their mom and will post some of them probably by tomorrow.

Just My Cup Of Tea!

Just got a new prop! Isn't it cute? There is also a blue version which I'd love to have, but I'll save up for it another time. I figured this would be more adaptable for either a boy or a girl.

Even cuter now...and yes, he's wearing a diaper =)

Just experimenting...a little milk and sugar Just my cup of tea!

Just for fun...Just the milk and sugar again =)

P.S. Came across another frog the other night...

Thanks for stopping by!

My first 2 photo shoots with my new camera!!

I'm so excited to announce that I've had not one, but two, count em'...two photo shoots, since last Friday!! Not only that, but I have two other potential photo shoot requests stemming directly from these ones. I've just about finished editing, and am hoping to have them done very soon. I had so much fun, I can hardly wait to show you what great clients I had to work with!

Here's a sneak peek...

The first is a young married couple that just announced they were expecting, so I was able to incorporate that in some of the shots...



The second is for the wife and 2 small children of a brave soldier who's in Iraq as we speak!




I hope they are as pleased as I am of the end results. I will post some more soon.

Found this little one the other night. Reckon they're related?

I seem to be drawn to the frogs lately. Have you ever noticed all the different kinds? God sure is creative isn't He?
