Nice Big Smile

Over the weekend I had a mini shoot, it was supposed to be a Christmas shoot for the family's Christmas card, but certain things happened and I ended up only taking pictures of one sibling, but it was still fun. She had the prettiest smile and she was definitely photogenic. I got a few candids of her sister as well, even though she didn't want her picture taken, I still got her to smile in some fun pictures running around the yard. We took out the Photo Booth stuff, and well, take a look for yourself.

I just have to work on depth of field again and background coloring and whatnot.

Mama Mia!

Today I was fortunate enough to take part in a Christmas photo shoot. The little girl I had in my lens was the most adorable kid I've ever seen, with the most adorable smile. She was so ready for me to take her photograph, she kept on saying "cheese" even before we started. We set up a small Christmas scene with light up trees and a snowman, while her mother had a big red sled. It was a great shoot and I'm really excited to show you how they came out. Here's a preview of Mia.

The Bucks of Autumn.

Yesterday I set out on an adventure, into the woods and through the swamps. I knew as soon as I got to the swamp area, that I should have worn my boots because it was crazy muddy. Luckily the care taker put a few long logs down for people to walk on. I think I was the only one walking those trails though, I didn't see any foot prints or signs of people. I did see a few nice birds, sadly they didn't want their picture's taken. But I did stumble on a few deer, and one friendly buck, who came right up to me, unfortunately I didn't have any food for him. He did let me take his photograph those. He posed for a few, but this one was the best.

After that, I set my sights for sandier trails, and found a treasure trove of animal bones. I know I'm not supposed to take them, but I just couldn't resist. One doesn't stumble upon a baby fox skull everyday and the completely whole shell of a turtle. They are treasures that have been deemed "the find of the year" by my friend Dan. It was quite the adventure, and one of the most productive Saturday's I've had in a while. I'm blessed beyond to live on such an Island that has all these special spots. 

Baby Mary

Today I had the extraordinary pleasure to have a photoshoot with my friends month old baby Mary. She was so small and happy and I had a great time with her. I made a few props over night.
