So - to start completley off topic of my actual post, but in relation to my title: has anyone seen Katy Perry's new video? I'm adoring it! The song is pretty catchy, too.
I've been keeping busy as a little bee, burning the midnight oil on the two sessions I shot last weekend. I'll have previews up very very soon - I'm extremely excited about these sessions! Partly because I discovered the joy of shooting in RAW format, but also I just had such great people to work with me (both in front of and behind the camera.) Also, the programs I use in my system now make everything more streamlined than any sessions I've done before - I'm not having to put as many blisters onto my clicking finger to make these portraits as gorgeous as my customers deserve!
Also, I'm exctied for the ordering sessions. Again, the programs I have for the process makes everything so much more simple I can hardly believe it.
It's been nice to unwind in front of the computer these past few evenings. My 9 to 5 has been taking a toll on my soul this week, as well as my son getting sick and having to take my boyfriend to the ER today. Long stories all around, but everyone is doing better, now. :)
Coming up on the photography front: weddings, babies, and more portraits - oh my!
I'm also working on a different blog format, so be keeping an eye out for that as well. :)
You'll be hearing from me soon!
PS: I know I'm not Canadian, but I hope everyone has a safe Canada Day! (I love being able to see the fireworks going up across the water in Victoria... )

Summer - YAY!
It's that time of year again! Time for Summer fun in the sun!
It's Officially Summer!
Days at the beach and afternoons at the park. The barbeques are all fired up and the marshmallows are being roasted for s'mores. Birds sing when the sun shines, and the crickets chirp while the stars twinkle - this is my favorite time of year. It's a season of new beginnings! Weddings, a new class of Seniors are about to move in, and freshly graduated Seniors are about to move out! This is a great time for documenting all the changes that summer brings - and we're off to a great start!

Sakura Con 2011
I shot some photos of my best friend in her Gothic Lolita getup. It was fun, but hard as there were lots of people walking around and getting into the background...

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.
