one more maternity

and another image

mama Jessie

This is one of my daughters really good friends who is due next month. We played in the studio and had so much fun. I have a couple other images on my other blog if you want to see them. www.shotbyruth.blogspot.com

Lost Tooth

SUNRISE

SETTINGS:

ISO: 100 AP: f/32 SS: 1/80

This was what I saw on my drive back home after dropping the boys off at school.

PS I have started a new blog for my templates...come by and let me know what you think...there are freebies as well.

my latest senior

Katie is going to come on board with me and be my postprocessor. Here is her first image. I think she did a great job. I'm hoping by farming out most of my pp then I can concentrate more on actually be a photographer!!! Who would have thought that two years ago I would be out sourcing so that I can work MORE. Well, if this works out then it will be great because Katie will be a new mommy in May and this will give her income so that maybe she can be a stay at home mom.

Emily's Getting Married

My daughter (who is MUCH too young to get married) has been best buds with Emily since they were born 18+ years ago. Emily is gettin married and plans to do a photo invitation with the text to the right of an image of the two of them. Here is one of the images I did in our 5 minute photo session today.

I will just cry

if they don't make this huge.

Baby Hudson

Here is shot I tried to copy from another photographer. I don't think I did as well. I'm not a natural!!! Anyway he was in a hammock, I used the lycra material that you use for bathing suits. iso 100, f4.5, ss200

Here are a few pics that I took today. Now there isn't any soft scape yet. I have to wait for a bit yet. The wall with the blue shutters will get painted like a tuscan wall. So much to do still.

Yesterday's Bride

Here is one of the sneak peek shots from my wedding last night.

one from my new studio

working hard on getting the new outdoor studio ready for spring. A senior came by tonight to pick up her order and I drug her outside to take more. You can't really see my studio but this is one shot. Tomorrow I will go out and take some shots from further away so you can see the better.

my final memory mate

Here is the final one for the U18 team....

One more of my Niece

I was busy editing pictures all day and this was one of them! Again this was taken back in November. Enjoy.

Two year olds are hard!

These are a couple of pics from my "make shift" studio session this morning to celebrate Micah's 2nd birthday.

One of my Niece

I was taking some Christmas pictures of my nieces a few months ago. Does the backdrop and sled look familar to you Ruth?

My first Maternity

Tonight I had my first Maternity Client. I had a lot of fun with this one. Can't wait to do another.

{New Haircut}

This is my new haircut - taken w/my webcam and edited in photoshop. I am not sure I like it or not...hmmm

But I do love my new apron. If you want to see it feel free to check out my blog. It's super cute and I am in LOVE with it! (cooking is my second passion and I want to look good while doing it...lol)

Tesa's News

Tesa is having a girl - she has a name chosen, but it is a HUGE secret! Remember when people used to post here? Where are our new members?

I actually have a session Friday and a wedding on Saturday, so Lord willing, I'll have some pics up next week.
