My Little Angels.....

Well, these were taken on Mothers' Day. It was my only request. No eating out at a fancy restaurant, no presents, no chocolate or flowers! I wanted new portraits of my kids! Let's just say my kids haven't grasped the concept of doing something they don't want to do in order to make someone else happy!! However, we did get it done and I AM happy with the results. I can't believe how fast these guys are growing..... I want to capture everything about them. But I'll take one expression at a time.

Three Boys!

This session came about as a result of a drawing at a business open house. A wonderful lady won the complimentary session and two 5x7 images, a $160 value, and chose to use the session for her three boys! We were a little worried as the week came to a close and there were still very strong winds on Friday. But, it cleared up and calmed down and we had nice weather Saturday morning for the shoot!

Her boys did great and I am quite pleased with the results! Here are a few favorites of each boy from the session. Enjoy!

Irish Dancing

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take pictures of members in a local Irish Dancing group. These pictures will be taken before their recital coming up on May 27th. One of the instructors brought her daughter over to create some sample images of what our setup will be at the recital. Here are the results!

"New" Relatives!

On our way back from Jamacia we stayed in the Seattle area for a couple days. The second night we got to meet one of my second cousins (whom I had never met) and his family! I wasn't planning on taking out my camera but in the morning I noticed the wonderful light coming in their dining room window and couldn't pass up the opportunity to get a few shots of Casie, my cousin's daughter. I think these turned out great and I am glad I broke out the camera for this quick 2-minute "session!"

Catching Up!!!

Well, I am a bit behind on posting here on my blog. We had a family vacation the first part of April and met three other families in Jamacia! We took our time getting there (not really by choice).... driving to Seattle April 1st, flying out April 2nd to Dallas for a one-night layover, and then getting into Jamacia on April 3rd just to get on a shuttle for 2 1/2 hours to get to the resort! But once we were there it was great and the highlight was definitely seeing our good friends from when we lived in San Jose, CA!

Here are some scenic shots of our surroundings for the week. Not bad....!!




This was the beautiful view from our room. It was very relaxing sitting on the couch with the sliding doors open and the breeze and ocean noises gently rolling in!

Sunny Outdoor Session!

This past weekend I had a Master Photographer come to assist me with some professional development. One of the things we worked on was tough lighting situations. These Environmental Portraits were taken at 10am - not your best time for outdoor portraits! But we worked with the light and added some fill flash and/or a reflector to make these spectacular portraits! A special thank you to Judy and Sam for helping us out on this beautiful day!

It is hard to tell in these small samples (as Environmental Portraits are meant to be printed BIG!!) but there is a twinkle in Judy's and Sam's eyes in each portrait and they look great!

Now in Ella Bella!

I now have three large prints displayed in Ella Bella! The store is located in the same shopping center as Tony Roma's on Gage Blvd, next to Costco. Please stop in to see the results as I think they look very nice displayed over some of Ella Bella's premeire cribs! These are the images that made it onto the wall!
