Pink Diva

Jessi has been begging me to take pictures... I've kind of put it off -not only cuz I'm so busy with other photo shoots, but because I knew that this shoot would require a white backdrop and I struggle with white backdrops. *sigh* But today I finally did the shoot with her. She came up with all kinds of ideas so they weren't just portraits. And did a great job all around!!

I spent the better part of the evening editing.... (making the white backdrop white!) But the good news, I took far fewer pictures than in the past and got just as many keepers and more variety to boot! So, all in all I was very happy with the results.

I still have a TON more to edit. Maybe I'll post some more when I get them done....

But I have another shoot with Rachael tomorrow.... gonna take her back to the hardware store for some more Christmas shots so I will edit those first and foremost.

School Daze....

Can anyone relate????

***************

I took this series of photos for my stock gallery. Stock is a completely different kind of photo than wedding pictures and portraits. And while I don't tend to enjoy it as much as weddings and portraits, I have learned a ton from the process and I believe my photography has improved as a result. Plus, I get paid! :) Oh, and it's so fun to find one of your photos published somewhere!!! So it certainly has it's perks.

Gymnastics

When I was a little girl I desperately wanted gymnastics lessons! I used to make up routines to Elvis and tumble back and forth across the living room floor. I never did get lessons but Jessi started a couple of weeks ago. Can you believe that they have adult classes at the gym? I'm afraid my body doesn't do this any more though. It even looks painful!! But Jessi sure looks like she's having fun - and her cousin too!!
