You know me; after processing allll night I can't stand not posting something. And this first picture I am totally, completely, irrevocably in love with. Lucky shot I think.

Baby oh Baby - Mini Shoot

This self-proclaimed blog lurker took advantage of my spring mini shoot deal - and we got together for 30 busy minutes of baby photos! Bennett is almost 9 months old, and I love those blue eyes! His shoes were also to die for... as were his mom's :)

This is a GREAT day

#1 reason - an amazing and dapper male who didn't complain at all for Senior Pictures, even with 3 women scrutinizing his every move. Isn't he handsome?

#2 reason - the most delicious lens I have ever laid hands on. And it's all mine. You can chalk these beautiful babies up to my new 17-55mm/2.8. Funny story - setting up the very first shot, I was making small talk and said "This is my brand new lens that costs almost as much as my camera" - mid-sentance I dropped it, catching it with my knees. OMGosh! I was standing on a huge boulder, too. Aaaaa! Small heart attack subsided.

Here's the "sneak peek" - I got on to just put a few up for tonight's curious family, but couldn't seem to stop myself.... rest assured, more to come.

Natalie

It's become a bit of a tradition to do a photo shoot for Natalie when she's in town. I can't believe I have such a model for a sister! To see last year's shoot click here.

Sneak Peek for Candice

I have new empathy for those waiting for sneak peeks - so I'm trying to get 'em up quick, even if it's just my favorite photo and not necessarily the 'best' :)

Isn't she a doll!? Despite the uncooperative light (how 'come the ONE day I need window light, it's overcast!?) we managed to get tons of fun stuff. She's a lot bigger since her newborn shots! 11522

Part Two

So here we are - Jess framing the shot while I played paparazzi from behind. This is also proof that these gorgeous photos came from my camera and not hers :)

Goal Numero Uno: How to find & best use different forms of light

Goal Numero Dos: To get better at urban/city shooting

Goal Numero Tres: To improve the quality of my focus

The above and below pictures also fit the lighting goal - they're taken in a parking garage! Yes! Deep in the shade! No flash!

Thanks Jess, I am seriously loving it all. Thanks Carrie, you are breathtaking.
