A few pics of JMK (just my kids)...

I recently got a new lens (thanks for the loan, Mom!) and have been having a great time experimenting with it!

I love the color and the clarity I'm able to achieve with it... check out the lashes on these two cuties :)

Lost in thought...

I was able to snap this of my neighbor, Miss "M", while I was actually taking photos of a newborn. "M" was watching the baby, and had no idea I turned my camera on her for a couple frames!

I converted the photo to B&W, added this fabulous scratchy border/blend (thanks, BobbieA on ILP), and this is the result :)

I just love it!!

Finally... Photos from My 2nd Maternity and Newborn Shoots

I'm a bit behind in posting the maternity photos from my friend M, but figured I might as well wait and post the newborn photos too - kind of a before and after! So, here we go....

BEFORE:

I think this is such a neat shot. I love how all the hands are such a contrast.... the sweet, soft little girl hands as compared to the dad's rough, tanned working man's hands.

This is one of my favorite shots to date... just love it to death! I'm so happy I was able to capture the silhouette with just enough light to show the joy on sweet little N's face...

and AFTER:

This little girl, Baby "R," is SOOOOO sweet! She was awake for part of the session, then mom fed her and she slept for a while, and then woke back up again. She was just perfect, and the family was great too...

Love this one of daddy with baby R...

And one quick collage with some of the towel shots... she curled up and slept so nice through all of these!

Some collages and storyboards

I've had a request to put some samples of collages and storyboards that I've done on my blog... so here are a few!
