FUN February... Photo 23!

I was in between sessions the other day, and my son came out to goof around for a few minutes. Isn't he just the cutest ever?!

My little heartbreaker... :)

FUN February... Photo 22!

Still behind, but at least I'm not falling even further back. Here's a fun one... next time I want to try to get bigger bubbles :)

FUN February... Photo 21!

I had this idea in my head earlier in the month, but the lighting has never been quite right to do what I had in mind. So today, I helped a friend with some photos for a product he has developed and is going to be selling online, and once we were done I took advantage of the lighting setup and the white backdrop to try it out!

I think it's kinda fun :)

FUN February... Day 4!

Well, sort of :) I actually had this idea set up for yesterday (thanks to Ben, he wanted me to do this one) but it was too dark before I was able to get to it, and I didn't have time to set up the lights (they're packed up for the Daddy-Daughter Dance tomorrow night). SOOOO... the candy-cane hearts for Day 4 had to wait till today! But I do have an idea for Day 5 that I'm hoping to get to... if the weather cooperates.

But for now... some more candy to make you smile :)

FUN February!!!

Well, I have decided that my blogging history has been rather dismal, and it's time to do something about it!! I have seen some do 365 days of photos, or a theme like "Macro Monday", etc. Well, it's too late in 2010 to start the 365 theme, but I thought it would be fun to come up with something else.

SO... FUN February was born :) I decided that I need to just pick up the camera and shoot for myself more often. I'm going to try to post a new photo every day of something that I find fun... whether it be fun pics of my pets or kids, a funny client photo, or just random items that I find fun to shoot (be prepared for some macros, as I really want to learn my macro lens better)!

With that said, here is my first photo... nothing says fun to me like a pile of brightly colored skittles!

Come back tomorrow for more fun photos!!

Fun With Kids and Toad...

A toad and some kids usually makes for a good combination... and some fun photos! After editing the family's entire session, I thought these were too fun not to share...

Baby N with a toad on his head... he knew something was not quite right, but wasn't sure what. Immediately after this shot he took off crawling and the toad made his escape!

Miss E was having lots of fun with this little guy... she was not in the least bit freaked out. She reminded me of my younger days when we would spend hours hunting for frogs and toads at my grandparents' cottage. She was awfully proud to show off the little guy!

And finally, I think my favorite shot of the day... Little Miss A, kissing her toad and wishing for her prince. Some day, A, some day...

Thanks to the kids, and to Mr. Toad, for being so cooperative :)

Spring Break Snow Day?!!

I usually try to keep my blog posts related to clients or other photography news, but I just had to post these on here today! We woke up to a snow-covered yard (not what I want to see in April!) and the kids decided to take advantage of their spring break to play outside. It was a nice day and good for them to get outside for a while!

Emma was having fun building a snowman, but Ben wasn't really that excited about it. He spent more time rolling around and making "snow bombs", also known as snowballs that "bombed" his sister and her snowman!

And here is Buddy, the finished product. Emma wasn't so sure she wanted Ben in the photo, because she said he didn't contribute very much to the snowman, but he did help shape the head so she finally allowed him in the photo with her!!

And to bring this back to be photography-related... my monitor calibrator has been on the fritz for a while, so I'm questioning the color on my photos. Any photographers who are calibrated... do these look OK or do they look off? I need some calibrated eyes to help out here!!! Thanks :)
