Its been a long time since I have posted something on this blog thing.  I guess I have realized in terms of photography I only have time these days to photograph my life and enjoy this amazing summer.  I love this picture of her because she was cracking up and being goofy and somehow this is the look I caught in between her silliness.  My little beauty is going to be 2 soon!!!  I can't believe it.

Hazy Sun Attempt

I was trying to get that hazy look.  The sun always comes in so perfectly through my backyard.  I need to master it.  Let me know what you think.  How did I do?



Changes faces

These pictures were taken right after my little buddy woke up from her nap.  This was the order of her emotions and it literally happened in 3 to 5 seconds that she went from sleepy to pouty to silly.  The one in the middle is my favorite.  The other 2 were going to get tossed aside because of the blurred look and the funky lighting but when they are put together they really tell a story about my child and her unpredictable personality.  To me that is what photography is all about.   

First Newborn shoot!

I had my first attempt at a newborn photo shoot.  Baby Layla is 12 days old.  She was a beautiful model.   Newborn babies are not as easy to photograph as I had expected. 
Keeping them comfortable and happy is a challenge. 
I hope all you ladies keep having babies so I can try some more.  It was so fun; now I know why some photographers spend 4 plus hours at a newborn session. 

The 2 hours I spent with Layla flew by and there were so many more shots I wish I could have gotten.  Anyway, here is one of them.   

This picture was on my list of have to haves

I am always trying to get a picture of her lashes.  People pay big money for eyelashes like these.  My natural beauty queen.  She was sick today so she was a little less mobile.  I took advantage. 

Lovey Dovey Day

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Afterbed

After bedtime tonight I was cleaning up and decided to take some black and white night shots. 

She loves her books!
