Jordan & Zane - 4/10/11

Spring is finally here! I just wish the weather would show it...
Here are some photos I shot for a friend of mine - I've always taken her older son's photos and now that I no longer work at the studio for someone else, she came to me to do her son's 7 year portraits. I used this opportunity(again) as an excuse to play with digital backdrops as well as perfect my lighting with my plan white background...

Max - 3/12/11

A friend of mine asked me to come shoot some photos of her son in Tacoma so I made the trip over and we got some super cute shots. I had a new prop I wanted to use and it looked great in the studio, but I can't wait for the weather to get nicer to use it outdoors -  I think it's going to look awesome.
I brought my son along as the two boys are very close in age - and I felt bad. My son kept trying to climb up on things in her house, showing her son how to do it!




I did, of course, play with my digital backdrops and props.
All in all, the photos turned out pretty good, I thought, and we had a lot of fun. :)

Easter 2011

This was yet another chance to play with my digital backgrounds and props. I enjoy playing with things in photoshop, but I wish sometimes there was an easier way to cut my subjects out from their background without using a chromakey screen... Still, these sessions were fun.

Grace Wedding - 2/26/11

I had the priviledge of being both the maid of honor (one of two) and the photographer for this particular wedding. My son was the ring bearer and wore the cutest little tux! I loved the disney tones to the wedding and it was so great to see two of my friends finally tying the knot! I only cried when they were announced man and wife. ;)
I made the mistake of only using my telephoto zoom lens for the entire wedding - I was thinking the venue was much bigger than it actually was (though it was big).
The lighting was also low so my ISO had to be set fairly high with the widest my aperature would go...

Marissa - 12/14/10

Christmas session. I had taken Gracie's pictures at the studio I work at prior to this, but we had a lot of fun shooting in my personal studio. It also gave me an opportunity to play more with my digital backdrops. :)
