Shop, Sip & Savor

I think the flyer below says it all! I’m so excited to be working with the ladies at the Shoppe of Vinings. I was there today taking all of the pictures to design this invitation and I can’t wait to go SHOPPING next week! I have to say it’s very different taking pictures of “stuff” rather than people but it was kind of therapeutic. I had fun being creative and playing with the angles, etc.

The crew at Taverna Fiorentina are wonderful too – the food and wine are going to be DELICIOUS! Check out their website: www.tavernafiorentina.com

I hope you can stop by the party…….. click on the picture to get a GOOD view!

Such a sweety pie!

I had a really nice session yesterday – luckily the rain moved out but it was still pretty wet at the park. This sweet girl was such a good talker – at only 22 months. I am so amazed at how different each and every child is.

Mom planned this session to get pictures as a surprise for Father’s Day (so shhhhh) and I asked her if she wanted anything “in particular” or just a variety. She said something very insightful to me – that she really liked how my pictures looked so “natural” and that she just wanted a variety of different pictures. I was very flattered because that statement is the very essence of what I try to do with my photography – capture the natural moment as it happens – the “real” person and not so much the posed images.

So, here are a few of my favorites. I never know if my favorites will be anyone else’s favorites because I am always drawn to the images that speak to me – rather than the perfect smile or pose. As always – you can CLICK on the image to get a better view.

This was a game of peek-a-boo….

This was a frolick in the park… (click on it)

Just look at these eyes…

This was so cute to me – she’s giving me the eye as she drinks her “coco” – code word for milk!

This one just speaks for itself don’t you think?

And a sweet moment between mother and daughter – truly timeless.

Slideshow

With the new “look” of my blog, I can now post some sample slideshows. Most of you have already seen one, but some have not. So, this is a sample of what I do for each client.

This one is cool because my client picked her own song – isn’t it beautiful?:)

Couldn’t help it….one last post for the day…

I’m awake, it’s late, and my husband is out like a light…… so here I am looking at pictures….

I just LOVE my new point & shoot camera! It really takes wonderful pictures with very little effort. This pic is courtesy of my husband – of me and the K-bear at the park today. I’m incognito – unshowered – sporting a hat – but I still thought it was cute.

Happy Mother’s Day to all and to all a GOOD NIGHT!:)

A little photo tip: In the photo above, we are in the shade and the sun is behind us. I picked this spot because it was a very bright and sunny day. Using this technique will keep your subjects from squinting and it gives your picture a nice “glow” around the subjects. Depending on how bright it is, you may also need to turn the flash to “on” instead of “auto” to add some fill light.
