My favorite

Jerry’s portrait session was a couple of weeks ago. He settled on his (and his mom’s) favorite images. Of the ones he picked this one is my favorite.  Jerry’s genuine kindness shines through.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward

My contribution to this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo challenge.

For me, as a photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than having a client swear to me that she never takes a good picture, that no photo ever looks like her, and then have her fall in love with what we create together.

 

Maternity Shoot: Kayla & Cory, Take 2

Yesterday Kayla and Cory came over to my home studio for our second session. I am so grateful to this couple for being open to me and allowing me the privilege of photographing this very special time in their lives.  Here are just a few from our session.

Model Shoot: Maternity

Kayla is expecting in about two months and posted on one of the Facebook photography groups I frequent that she was interested in getting some maternity shots done for her portfolio. We met, hit it off, and will be working together over the next couple of months to try out various techniques. Last Sunday, I met with Kayla and her husband, Cory, to do a ‘getting to know you’ shoot.

I shot these in a natural light studio on a dark and rainy day, so my ISO was averaging 800 and I shot fairly wide open (with a tripod…no hand-held for this session). I like the softness of these images.

Here are a few.

A year of self #25 – Overpowering the Sun

I took my Einstein 640 out in the backyard today in the middle of the day to work on overpowering the sun.  These were all taken between 1 and 1:30 pm.

For the first two images, light is to camera left.
