On the Lake

Sweet Baby Girl

This little doll can capture your heart with just one little smile. : ) What a sweetie!

Love that Lip

Describing what exactly attracts me to a particular photo helps me to figure out what makes a good photo and helps me identify what I should be doing for better photography. It helps me learn how to improve. So, as a learning exercise for myself, I'm going to be "diagnosing" my own photos. Also, if there are flaws in the photo, I can identify those as well.
What I love about this photo (aside from the adorable subject, of course) :



The focus- I like how the focal point is on his cute little lip...nice to have a different focus than the eyes for a change.
His expression- inquisitive, interested, on the verge of a coo...I love it.
The lighting- I love spring. It gives me so many more options for light. This was outside around 3 pm under a tree (open shade)-perfect. The colors are so much richer in the perfect spring light.

The grassy bokeh (or blurry parts)- the grass bokeh gives it a richer color for the background, but it doesn't distract from the subject of the photo.
Creamy skin- I love the skin tones in this...creamy, soft, light.

First Official Photoshoot!

This cutie and his family were my first real deal photoshoot. Tons of fun! Those baby blues are beyond gorgeous, and so fun to shoot!

Day at the Park

My mom and I took my niece and nephew for a walk in the park on a lovely spring day. What fun! I love the details in these shots. The green lamppost in the background, the tree branches, the eyes.

Spring Blooms

These are the beautiful Apricot blossoms that bloomed outside my house this spring. Aren't they gorgeous?
I love the white contrast against the brilliantly blue sky.
