My Niece Abby

I was taking pictures of my girls yesterday and grabbed a few of my niece. Naturally, those got edited first. Here are a couple. Still working on my post processing, so ANY and ALL tips/CC are greatly appreciated.

{Happy Thanksgiving}

A craft project that I created today - Everyone in the family did this project together - to see the others project take a look @ my blog.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Natalie

This was my family session today. What a cute girl!

just trying this out

I don't even know if this will post. But I bought this collage maker from Gary Fong and it might just look great for my other blog. Cross your fingers I can post it.

Ho Ho Ho

I did pictures of friends' babies this morning for holiday cards. While I was setting up my lights and getting everything ready I snapped a few of my baby. This is Mandi!

{Photo Swap'N Trade}

I met up with a gal from ILP over the weekend and we swapped photography services for one another. She did an awesome job of my family (feel free to check it out on my blog) and I hope I did as good for her family - here is a picture from our Swap.



Aren't her kids just tooo cute!

Focal Length: 17.0mm * Exposure Time: 0.0063 s (1/160) * Aperture: f/5.0 * ISO: 200

ok Ziggy is NOT a senior

But this was from my session tonight. Ziggy.... really had NO desire to be photographed. But he was a trouper.

My Senior Tonight...

...hey, he's a senior :)

No jokes about the fact that I'm not dead (yet)....I've been (choke choke) writing for the newspaper instead of taking pics, tho I do that for fun while I'm at the game. The paper had a few too many photogs and they knew I could write, so that's my gig this season. Kind of fun, but I refuse to put down the camera for long....and they still have me taking pics for away games!

ISO3200, ss320, f2.8 ...VERY dark field!

And my senior tonight

come on everyone can play.... let's all sing along....

and my senior tonight

this is the senior I'm working on tonight

been gone too long

Sorry I've been gone so long. So much has happened. I've had a couple of eye surgeries, my computer crashed and I went out of town. But I'm back now, whew!! I went to Utah and did a little mini session, learned soooo much. Here are two images.

{Feeling Fabulous!}

I have lost a total of 19 lbs since September. I still have a long way to go but I feel FAB-U-LOUS about my progress. Hubby took this picture of me after church yesterday - I congratulated my progress with a new dress & shoes. I thought I would share my progress!!

Roommate

During the photo seminar I was attending, my roommate (KrisG) wanted some budoir pics for her hubby's Christmas gift. Now, those who know me know I'm VERY prudish/tame. This is NOT something I would shoot! So my images were very tasteful and PG rated. Here is one of the images that was processed in Lightroom with a free preset I downloaded from Kelsey Smith. Again, I'm working on my PPing skills, so let me know what you think. I did order CS4 and Andy Armstrong's Design House Suite - so learning must follow...

you made me smile.......

twice!!! I so wish I was there!! :( I kicked myself last year too and swore I would go this year. But I had already committed to Imaging USA with Michelle and I have so many seniors...to still proof AND lots of viewing sessions this week......AND I had already planned on going to Utah to shoot with Tina, Tennesse and Katie....

My plate is too full! :( Please learn lots and then teach me. Julie has been such a great help to me and I think we are learning things together, which is nice.

Have fun!!!!!!!!!!! tons of it............

Ruthless INFERNO
