Monday, July 20th, 2009

Well I have wrapped up from the session!!! There were so many great pictures, I just had to stop myself. It was really a very fun session, and we had a great time!

Seriously…. too much fun!

I’m still mastering the flash….. as you may notice

Could there be a happier pregnant woman on the planet!!!

She was tired right out after all this!!! So cute!

beautiful baby bump alert!!!!! (part 1)

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

This is one my friends ‘K’ and her gorgeous family. Seriously…. there are so many awesome shots that I just had to share some…… I can’t stand the wait!!!! Every time I edit one I just think man wish I looked this good pregnancy LOL.

We had soooo much fun! We got some really cool angles and shots, and a few that just make me laugh. Because it’s my good friend in the shots, I’m also getting to play around with fun textures, and overlays and using different effects. I am really excited to share these! So enjoy!!!! There will be more!!

In an effort to NOT drive people mad seeing the same pics here and on fb – most pics will be on the blog – but a few selected will go on my pg pages.

the last one….

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

I have finally gotten this pic to where I like it.

I was trying to get some sihouettes by the window. Then lens I was using just didn’t quite cut it for the effect. I will try again!

but I loved this shot. It was such a nice moment for the three of them, and struggled in my limited pp knowledge to get something out of it. Petra had a nap and wsan’t feeling well, so of the pics I had it was important to me to get something nice.

Anyways….. now we wait for baby. Come on baby!!!!!

I am almost there……

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

The time has come…. I have edited my little heart out. I have a few more pictures to share.

I have been stuck on two pictures. I was trying for a silhouette… but they just didn’te turn out quite they way I expected. And WHO KNEW a van was parked outside ruining the shots lol. So those are probably going to take more creativity. Once of them is so beautiful so I am determines to make something of it.

For now….. please enjoy these last shots

For those wanting to do this shot – use smaller blocks. If you can find them. and I have heard tape helps. This was the first try though, and I didn’t even have blocks – they were Kate supplied. Thank goodness her child isn’t deprived of blocks like mine!

This is a re-edit. I wasn’t completely happy with my first attempt.

there is a light at the end of this mat shoot tunnel!

I’m almost done!!!!

Kate you are most patient.

I can not even describe how much of a learning curve I have taken doing a ‘real’ shoot. And I say that loosely lol.

Talk about figuring out a good workflow….. and cropping…. and sharpening….. and SKIN. Skin is the hardest thing to get right. I finally found a great way to edit skin, and I’m almost at the end of the pictures. FIGURES.

I am putting the pictures up here, because as I am gearing up for portfolio building, I like to have some examples of my work and see how I roll, or should I say shoot. This is my only way (for now) of doing that!

So here are some more!!!!

I can’t figure out if color or b/w is better…….

Seriously. One of the prettiest pregnant women around right now

some more maternity!!!

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

So I’ve been back to work. Another few photos down!!! I just love some of these photos, and have learned ALOT. This was a fantastic opportunity for me. So thank you again Kate… there will be some more
I have learned that taking so many pictures definately makes the selection process hard!!! And editing pictures is not as easy as I had planned! But I love learning, and have enjoyed learning many new things in editing these pictures.

one of the few I have with Petra in there. Too bad it was nap time – the snow really held me up for our appt. Will definately get more when the newest addition is here because she is too cute!!!

first maternity shoot….

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

WOW!!! I had the most awesome afternoon with Kate and her family. She was so easygoing, and just let me shoot and reshoot, change backgrounds, and changed outfits.

It was so nice to have a nice stationary model that smiled and did just as they were told LOL!!!!

Thanks Kate, I have so many pictures that I like – it’s going to take me awhile to go through them…… but here are some I edited and like so far
