I just can't resist posting the rest of my favorites. What a little doll!

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.

Taking it to the next level...

I got to spend the morning with an amazing photographer - Jessica Kettle - and it was so much fun that I'm totally burnt for the day. Here's what I've come up with sofar.

Thank you Carrie for your beautiful face! You were absolutely perfect and even Jess was saying how much fun and what a natural you are :)

My New Camera - and a special deal for YOU!

After devouring the manual and learning everything I can, it's still a lot of work to get all of the pieces of this marvelous camera put together in a live shoot - particularly one with fast-moving kids!

Because I'm anxious for lots of experience with my new camera before wedding season, for the next 30 days I am offering Mini-Shoots - a thirty minute shoot for $50 with 10 final edits on disc. This price only comes around once in awhile, so let me know if you're interested! Shoot must be finished by April 16th.

... and we're LIVE!

I finally have a website to be proud of! Take a look, tell me what you think, and spread the word - I've got a new camera I'm itching to put to use! Thank you, economic stimulus package, for making my dream of the D300 come to life :)
