At the Farm

Spent a couple of hours yesterday shooting Shannon at the stables with her horse. Here is one of my favorites.

Timothys

Here is my most recent session! Cute family.

Sunset in Napa

Our trip north this weekend was wonderful....baby-sitting my nieces and nephew on top of a mountain in Napa....tough life.
ISO 500, ss60, f 5.6

New Favorite

This kiddo and his sister gave me a run for my money, sweet kids but very wiggly and giggly. I knew immediately when I shot this, it would be a favorite.

BEE

Look what I found on my door step....

bad acne

I shot two twins tonight and they both had really bad acne. Does anyone know how to clean it up better than this? This is going to be a long post processing gig.

Trunk or Treat

Tonight we had a trunk or treat after worship services. Wasn't easy trying to get focus locked when it was pitch black outside (porch light only goes so far). I loved the little scarecrow outfit this littl boy was wearing, so those are the images I've chosen to share.

{Phidipus the Jumping Spider}

This is a jumping spider I found while wandering around with my camera this afternoon...as you can see he has captured his favorite dinner "a-la-fly".

Blake and Lauren

Blake and Lauren went to homecoming tonight and her are a few of their official pictures.

Today's Wedding

I've recently had my website/images critiqued by a fellow photographer. One HUGE comment was that my workflow needs more POP. So, taking that to heart, here are a few of the images from today's wedding with my new workflow. What do you think?

Barbed wire

I never thought barbed wire could be so engaging...did you?

COLOR

I just love the fall and all of it's color - look what I captured today!

Baby heart - from the archive

This was just from my archive...it's one of my favorites from my newborn session a while back.

Loco Kitty

And the reason this photo is special is that this little kitty was such a wild thing a few weeks ago and a bit camera shy. She is now our favorite pet...well, one of them :)
That's her mom (Psycho) in the background.

Pumpkin Pickin'

Went with a friend to the pumpkin patch yesterday. I had a blast, but it has been a long time since I chased a two year old around. My legs are actually sore!

I Got My Camera Back!

And just to make Ruth happy...cause that's important....here's a shot of our Homecoming queen from last week.
ISO 400, ss250, f4.5 with flash

Mr. Darcy

likes to steal the limelight

New Border

I had a client that wanted a Fall type border for an 8x10. I thought it was cute. Here it is!

Timer

Here is the most recent family picture of my little brood (taken yesterday). I had to RUN back and forth like 10 times...not a single picture was taken of everyone looking at the camera or looking happy...but what can I do, I love these pictures though. At least Shelbee is looking at the camera here...lol

yea someone is posting besides me!!!

Here is from my last full senior session of the season!!!

Meet Shelbee

This is Shelbee, she is our newest addition to our family. We got her yesterday. She is a 2 year old beagle mix and is just the sweetest girl around.

CRASH

My dad took the boys on a joy ride on the riding lawn mower the other day and of course the boys got to steer this monster machine and crashed the back end into his car when backing up to turn around...lol No damage but funny all the same...Now we know why Driver's licenses are not handed out to 7 & 5 year olds...lol

guys are sooo hard to photograph

They are so hard to pose.

Finally

I have offered complimentary sessions to every mom-to-be that is pregnant with twins and this was my first taker. The mommy is a good friend to my sister-in-law. I think they will become baby-planners too!!
These little guys were so cute. The only problem we had was that when one was content the other was wide awake and hungry. The session only took 3 hours, I've had sessions with only one newborn take that long or longer. I have two other sets of twins that I believe will be coming in when they get out of the NICU.

Here is the one they bought

and big... 2ft by 3 ft....

more than one but.........

I've been killed with seniors. I'm going to show you a few....I can't wait until the end of this month!!! There are others that aren't even this far along! I'm dying!!!

I'm on my way!!

Tomorrow I am packing up a Uhaul and heading off with my family to Idaho. I will be in limited internet contact for about 2-3 weeks. I am sure going to miss having my daily dose of this blog. Please forgive me for not posting as much this month - we have been packing away like crazy.

I will let you all know when we get settled.

Finally a Girl Senior

I am currently working on this senior. She was a lot of fun, I have a ton of images to go through.

my senior tonight

This is Kelsey. I shot her sister last year. I'm glad she wanted the tile wall. I like shooting on it.

Love the Redheads!

Here are a couple of shots from my last wedding.

more of Kayla

I've got to get her done tomorrow or I'm toast.

session today

Got to get back to seniors now!

Here is a picture of the Varsity team that I shot a week ago. Just got them all ordered. Color me happy!
