Sierra and Mariya

Some of you have already met Mariya from previous shoots. Today she, and her friend, Sierra, came over to do some studio work. Here are a few from today’s session. I’m still working through them, so I will be posting more soon.

Katie and Cathy

I had the honor of doing a very special shoot yesterday. Katie is my co-worker and friend. Her mom. Cathy, has cancer. Today was a good day. This week was a good week. We took advantage. We had fun.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

More to come, even some from the chaotic pet shoot afterward. Hint, what happens when you mix four canines and three women (one of whom fancies herself a photographer?

Inspiration

Inspired by Karen McRae’s post, Trichoto(me),  I played with layering some self-portraits I’ve taken. My camera does not allow me to do multiple exposures in camera, so I did these in Photoshop. This was a fun experiment this morning and something I’ll want to keep working on.

In this image, I pulled the pensive layer to 25% opacity and did some strategic erasing to emphasize my upturned face in the original layer.

In this one, both layers are at 100% opacity,  with strategic erasing to create the effect.
