Bug Boots

Found these cute boots at Target, so it was time to take them for a test run! And run this little guy did, until he took a fall and got a mouthful of dirt. He wasn't too happy about that!

Photo Contest Entry

I entered this image in a photo contest held by Skye and Photographic Foundations. (I can post it now that the contest is over) The theme was Childhood Is......! I haven't entered anything in a contest since I was in High School...which was a long time ago. Anyway, it was chosen as one of the top ten and the winner will be announced on Thursday. Click on the Photographic Foundations link above and once you get to the site click on photo contest on the bottom left corner. Take a look at the great entries!

BluDomain's Photo of the Day

Guess what? One of my photos was Photo of the Day on BluDomain's blog Friday! If you click on BluDomain and then click on BLOG when the page opens up it will take you to their blog and you can scroll down and see it.....or you can see it here on my blog. Its the one with the little girl and the dog. I was shooting her next to the door and the dog stood up and wanted to see what was going on. Not my typical photo, but I thought it was kind of funny.

To Be Young Again

What a beautiful little girl! When I look at these photos I wish to be young again! I pulled a leather chair up to an open french door with patio shade. The lighting was fabulous! I am so glad I decided to go on location only this year! I never know what kind of lighting am going to get.......and sometimes.... I get really lucky!

Just for Fun

I am taking a mentorship with Skye and these are a few photos for an assignment. Do you have any idea how hard it is for two little boys to sit on a vanity counter and hold little mirrors? Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, AIMS is a week long of standardized testing that the schools are doing. Thought I would post them just for fun.

2 Sisters

I had the opportunity to do a session with two sisters. The first sister and her family braved the cold.....well, cold for AZ.....at 7am. Did you know a cold nose creates a runny nose? Its true! The second sister and her family enjoyed overcast perfect weather later that afternoon. Same place. Two enjoyable sessions. I love to get really close up when I shoot. I love to get right up in people's faces. I am trying to step back a bit to see how it changes the story. I'm enjoying the new challenge!
