Puppy Love II

Thanks to my sweet friend for letting me practice on her puppy. I had a great time. Enjoy!

Puppy Love

Awww... Puppies are so darn adorable.

My Adorable Niece

My adorable little niece came over to my house one day and of course I had to get the camera out and try some photos. She was so much fun to direct - dance for me, blow this dandelion, pick a pretty flower. I didn't even have to use any bribery - yet!

I just adore those eyelash pictures.

I'm posting this series to show you some of my conversions I've been playing around with. The first one is a regular colour pop, the second one is hazy similar to Lily Blue style www.lilyblue.com , and of course black and white. Enjoy!

Dreamy Times Two

Isn't this picture of these siblings just adorable. I was using my 85mm wide open at 1.2 for some other shots and didn't change my settings when I took this one. I must say I love the focus on her face and how it highlights the moment.

I processed this one to give it a hazy, vintage feel.

Cutie Patootie #2

I told you he was a cutie patootie. Enjoy!

Dreamy Black and White

I must admit I love black and white photography. I have been spending some time playing with various techniques. There are so many options that it is hard to know when the photo is "done". One of my favourite photographers translates photos into black and white so beautifully. The way she uses light in her photos is amazing and inspiring. Check her out at www.bohemiansecret.net/blog

Watch for this cutie's brother in the next post. He is extra cute!

Isn't She Lovely

I was fortunate enough to snap a few shots of this adorable little girl during her Mom's maternity session. They are so soft and dreamy. I really love photographing faces. Stay tuned for some black and white conversions in the next post. Enjoy!

Little Red Riding Hood

I absolutely love these photos of this little cutie patootie. It totally reminded me of a painting my mother has of Little Red Riding Hood. More photos of her to come. Enjoy!

Maternity Part II

A few more photos from our session which turned into a lovely family session. Stay tuned for more photos from this day.

First Maternity Session

Maternity sessions are so much fun. A beautiful glowing Mama and loving and adoring children and husband. What more could a person ask for? This is a special, near and dear, family to me and I was thrilled to be able to photograph this lovely moment in their lives. I must admit getting the right angle is much harder than you might think. Practice makes perfect - I must keep remembering this. I call them the T family because all of their names begin with the letter T. It didn't surprise me that the baby pool included guessing which T name they would give their baby. (I wasn't even close.) Enjoy!

It's Time To Blog Again

Welcome to my new updated photography blog. Many of my friends have been asking me to update my blog but quite frankly for all of 2009 I had no interest in posting on a regular basis. I have been busy, though, practicing photography and photoshop. I must admit that I haven't quite figured out what my "style" is yet. There are so many amazing photographers out there that I want to try all of their techniques. I'm hoping my style will become more evident to me and emerge through this blog. In the meantime enjoy my sessions from 2009.
