So this is my sister. Doesn’t she take beautiful pictures! We went out to this rose garden after lunch to see if we could get some good shots for her 8th grade picture board and I think we did! I enjoyed piecing these together… I think we should get the collage below printed and matted, what do you think? I’ve been having a lot of fun putting mattes and borders around photos in photoshop. Any suggestion on a theme I should work on?

well, even in the middle of the busiest week of my life, i was able to finish the twins’ portraits. the ease of this project was great! i am really glad that they allowed me to take their portraits… i am pretty sure they will like them :)

well we are heading into our tech week at school for our production of Godspell. I’m am going to need lots of prayers! I’ve got a bajillion lines and cues that are pretty tricky! Please pray! I’m pretty stressed and tired, but I am looking forward to this production. Jess and I were asked to take the head shots for the program, and well, here is the half of the group that I took into my own care. :)

well I am back, and very tired. i had an awesome time being in DC and especially being there with all of my friends. on saturday, we visited arlington cemetery where it rained. of course, we made the best of it and played around with our cameras. to say that these pictures are brilliant would be an understatement.
enjoy :)

and by far, the best picture i have ever taken…

isn’t that stunning! i need to go back.

i had a great shoot on sunday. the day could not have gone smoother. i took some portraits of jessica and nicole, whom i have known my entire life (well since Kindergarten). talk about photogenic! out of the 700 shots i took, the only “bad” shots are those in which they are blinking and their eyes are shut. it was a great time together and i wanted to give them a sneak peak. hope you like them! ;)

my little cousin is probably the most fun to take pictures of. this guy is always running around, but he seems to turn and look at the camera at just the right time, and with a perfect look on his face! we had my dad and my birthday party today and all the cousins and family were over. i have a million (well, like 300) from today which i will have to slowly post over time. have i told you that i’m in love with my new lense?!

This was a difficult one- and I’m not talking about the two I took pictures of lol. Something had gone wrong with my camera prior to this shoot. For some reason, my camera didn’t want to correctly determine the exposure I set it to. (These things have a mind of their own I tell ya’) I couldn’t figure it out, and so I had difficulty shooting and editing these. I finally figured out a week later that some how, the metering mode was switched and that really messes things up! All in all, I think the pictures turned out pretty well, and I hope they are happy with them!
