Lots and Lots of Photos!

Well.. if you've been on Facebook lately, than you know I've been taking WAY too many photos! Especially since I upgraded cameras, I have been doing a lot of learning and practicing in the way of photography. It's something I have always had a lot of interest and passion in. I started learning the basics in High School in a photography class, on both an SLR (film) camera and a Digital SLR. It's also where I started learning Photoshop. These things have come a long way since then. I've been off and on playing with our Canon SLR since before the girls were born.. but things get busy and then it takes a back seat. Though, I'm finally getting to a point where I have more time and I have little built in models to practice on. Of course, Addy has an agenda of her own that does not often entail sitting still and smiling pretty. Ainsley however, doesn't mind so much.

I was recently asked to take a few Maternity photos for a friend. Jessica is pregnant with her second child and wanted to capture the occasion and the sweet baby bump. I was thrilled to have some new subjects and a semi-official photo session. It was great practice and I really enjoyed doing it! It definitely makes me want to work toward a professional status even more! Here are some of my favorite images from the shoot.












They are such a cute family, it wasn't too difficult to get some nice images of them. Jessica likes black & white, as do I. And most of the edits ended up looking very nice in black and white, with their black attire. Though the color ones look nice too!

If anyone needs some updated family photos, let me know! I'd love to practice on you too! No charge. I just reserve the right to use the photos to showcase my work in the future. Just sayin'..... :)
