More from the family shoot….. Here are some of the ones that my sweet friend shelly took. I am so excited to have some shots of us–since I’m always the one behind the camera. She took the pictures and I edited them…I will post some of hers tomorrow–they are a sweet family and I’m excited about their pics.
after doing these types of dof shots for others…..I really wanted one for us! Can’t wait to get these printed and see how they look……
we had a blast with her dress—
more to come tomorrow….
remember the family shoot that we were doing with some friends last week? well, i am in the middle of editing them–but, love this fairtale setting under the big willow tree. with all the talk on the MB about the orton technique–i decided to try it here for that dreamy look…..
what do you think? the first and the third are with orton. the 2nd is a just a gaussian blur for the background.
can’t wait to post some more this week of the 3 of us. This has been one of my favorite spots to take pictures–gorgeous scenery and a variety.
I want to take pictures like
THIS……
so loving her pictures from china…and I am so inspired to get cultural pictures of Taiwan when we go back for baby #2!
Stunning. simply stunning. Make sure you keep scrolling down—you wouldn’t want to miss a single one…..and that sweet baby in the back carrying pack??? absolutely adorable.
so i was driving to a photo shoot last saturday and the sky just looked glorious…..i love the sun rays streaming through the clouds, so I had to try to take a pic.
It’s crooked b/c I had my new SB600 on the camera–and it was hitting the top of the car b/c it was too tall—i couldn’t look through the viewfinder–and stay on the road that is….
So I just kinda aimed–and clicked…..:0
Apart from the crooked road and horizon….pretty good shot huh??
Tonight (thursday), we are getting together with another couple and are going to take family pictures for each other…I am so excited! I have it all planned out in my head–now I just hope it actually turns out that way. Hopefully, we’ll get some good pics for each other….Yeah!
And a couple more from the shoot….
i got this cute template over at ilp—first time I have used it…i like it.
Today is our 9th anniversary…..What a blessing……. I am so thankful for jason and grateful that I get to journey in this life with my best friend. Thankful to the Lord for our marriage and this man. Happy Anniversary J! i love you.
went to a new little spot with this fun open grassy area and cool log…..How’s my color on these?? I so desperately want to get my color down….working on that…! Took these in Evening Light–so there is a definite warm glow…too red? 
this is a diff bw conversion–more dramatic and moody….might be a tad dark…but, wanted a deep soulful pic….
partly b/c I have been tired and just can’t seem to catch up on sleep and partly b/c I have been busy editing some shots from last weekend.
these 2 boys are cousins and so adorable!
his white shirt is killing me in this photo….is it too blown??
now this just seems 100% boy!!!! 
a few pics from our trip to Stone Mountain yesterday….man that was tough work getting to the top! Jason carried Gracen and I carried my camera bag…:) We had a great time and it was well worth the hike once we got to the top! These were taken with my 70-300mm—I need to clean that lens!!! I think I need to get one of those Rocketblower things…..had to clone out a couple specks….
just make me laugh.
