Capture the light....con't

It's about time I updated the blog...sorry for taking so long. This is the second part of my "capture the light"
mini workshop in January with my photog friends Marianne and Patty. We actually met at a "photo forum meet up" last March in Bricktown. If you were down there last March and saw about 30 or so photographers roaming around in small groups of 5 or 6 with all the photo gear...ie...camera's, flashes, reflectors and models..yep, that was us. We get together

occasionally and have fun sharing techniques, drool over each others camera equipment and such...yes I admit I have.....dun dun dun...
"camera envy"..haha..I digress. Anyway to get back to the subject at hand , these are shots of "E" who so graciously also gave up her Saturday to let us play,shoot and find the "light" She is so cute and looks much older than 12! and is , I think if I remember ...about 6' tall. A born model...so sorry "E" it took so long to post. Looks like blogger is having some difficulty tonight will try posting the pics tomorrow...until then...sweet dreams!!

Capture the light

Yes, it's been awhile since my last post, crazy time the holidays!
I really do love photography, but I have to admit it was nice to have a little break to relax and recharge my creative batteries. This past Saturday I met up with a couple of my photog friends for a little "capture the light" workshop. We had 2 beautiful models that stayed and worked with us all day. I will post some shots from "E" soon, but for now here is a sneak peek of "K".Doesn't she have the prettiest red hair you have ever seen? And as you can see from the last shot, she was a little happy when we said "ok..we're done"!

Don't you just wanna squeeze her?

I just love babies in footed jammies, as you can tell. You just want to pick them up and squeeze them, so sweet and full of love. I photographed mom's maternity pics just 4 days before this little one showed up, and her first shoot at 3 months, boy has she grown. This is "C" at 7 months and she is quite the show off! I don't know who spoils her the most...mom or grandma? But I do believe she is the twinkle of her grandpa's eye. Here is your sneak peek!!

Jammie Time

As the saying goes..."all babies are angels when they are sleeping" just look at "W" isn't he the sweetest thing you've ever seen? And as you can see, the best shots are just after a nap, Oh...btw the second shot is "W" watching Monday Night Football! Just goes to prove a theory, boys are born loving football!

Brrrrr It's cold out there

I met with L and C for the very first time at Hafer park last Saturday. We were hoping for pretty weather for the photo shoot, but this time of year is anyone's guess. It was dark and dreary as well as misting and very cold! But we were determined to get this shoot in for the holidays. I have to admit I was a little skeptical with the weather conditions, but C was a real trooper. We layered him up and went for it. C was so cold but never complained not even when he was shivering!! Believe me, we were all freezing. The park was not very busy and I think the few people that were there thought we were crazy...but as you can see the shots came out ...well see for yourself. Here is your sneak peek.

Beautiful Autumn Day

This Sunday was one of the most beautiful fall days I have seen. I got to spend time shooting a family of 6, two horses and "Millie" the family pet. I have known most of the family for awhile now and when I was asked to do their family pics, I didn't have to think twice about it. I grew up spending alot of time out on my grandfather's farm, so I understand how much they love being out on this farm, be it riding the horses, or just hanging out, they were in their element. Thank you "DTMJW and K" for a great afternoon! ( I am adding some pics of K, because, as you can see..she is....gorgeous. And btw guys, she has 3 older brothers...so you better be gentlemen!)

J and R in Bricktown

Last Saturday I spent the afternoon with J and R in Bricktown.
We found lots of great out of the way places for their engagement photo's. I think we could have shot for a lot longer and still not found everything. (I think I wore them out!!) The atmosphere created my most unique shots so far. I love the country and beautiful lakes but this was fun and a little more edgy. So many colors in Bricktown. So J and R here is your sneak peek, ( Oh...I was told the water was COLD! Such good sports and R actually thought he would need a towel?)
