Gracie & Lauren

This afternoon I did some portraits for two very pretty and very funny little girls. We had a lot of fun and even got the dogs into the action! Here are some of my favorites with a few notes for you photographers out there. As always, you can click any of the pictures for a bigger version.

These first two were taken on the side of their house in front of their white backyard fence. No strobes! We were on the shady side of the house and had perfect soft light... throw in the white fence and it almost looks like we did these in the studio.

These were taken at a different angle to use the grass as the background. Still no strobes. The last picture shows you that I had pulled them far enough away from the fence to give plenty of separation from my background.

These last two were shot in a different location across the street. I did set up one strobe and an umbrella to camera right. The dogs did great!

Nolan's 2 Year Pictures

I did some portraits for Nolan, Jenn, and Eric on Saturday. Nolan is so much fun and even though he didn't really want his picture taken, we got some great shots! He has the biggest blue eyes!

It's been a while...

Sorry for the absence from the blog! It's been a busy month, but I will hopefully get back to posting on a regular basis.

A couple of weeks ago I did some family portraits in Wildwood, FL. The May's are a fun family, and we had a really good time. Here are some of my favorites from the day:
