Soon to be a family of three...

Although I haven't yet had the chance to sort through all of the pictures I captured of this fun couple I thought I would at least post a few for a sneak peak. The setting was amazing and the couple was tons of fun to work with. Thanks for making my job easy!

Almost a year old...

My new toy...

I have quite a few sessions coming up... one including school portraits, some indoors, some outdoors during odd hours of lighting-many sessions needing flash photography. I always love natural lighting but you just can't have natural lighting in every setting. I have wanted to improve my flash photography and kept stumbling across this weird looking diffuser:

It kind of looks like a lamp shade on top of your flash and it claims to achieve "on-the-go studio lighting." I must say that I have been really impressed in the short amount of time I have been able to play around with it. I really like the lighting it achieves and definitely would recommend it to any photographer.

See for yourself:

This picture was taken with the small diffuser that came with my flash

(definitely looks like flash photography):

This picture was taken with my new diffuser:

( I must say that the lighting looks way more natural)

Both pictures were taken seconds apart, same physical setting and same camera settings- I think I will enjoy learning more flash photography with this addition to my camera bag!

FuN, Determined, Focused, and EnergetiC!

Well, that's the way I would describe this sweet little one-year old boy- It was fun chasing him all around the yard this evening and I enjoyed going through the shots we got. It's been awhile since I have been behind the camera due to the start of school and pregnancy related exhaustion, but this little guy was a great reminder of how much fun it is!
