Kirsten | FunShoot

A few weeks ago a friend of mine, who has a vast array of neat vintage outfits and accessories, allowed me to take some "vintage" photos of her.
Right when we were ready to start, it started to rain.....I've never done a shoot in the rain, and was a little nervous to have my new camera get wet.
Looking around, I spotted a little alcove that was covered enough to protect but still had good lighting.
After we utilized the area to its extent, we decided to take see if the rain would let up, and went to get some hot tea.
When we came out a while later, the sun was shining, the clouds were mostly gone, and it was perfect weather for photos........so, we had to take some more!
Thanks for your flexibility, Kirsten! I really enjoyed our time together!

 

Caroline | Violin

Hope you all had a great Fourth of July!

With my newest addition I had the chance to do another round of violin photos with my sister Caroline.
It was a warm Saturday afternoon in June, but we still got some great shots!
(And without too much mishap....but do check out the last photo!)
















This expression is priceless-she looked into the water below and saw......a SNAKE! Eeek!

Happy Independence Day!

4th of July..........What does that make you think of?
Firecrackers, Homemade Ice Cream, Patriotic Songs, Getting together with friends and family?
What freedoms are you most grateful for?
On this birthday of America, let's remember to thank the Lord for His continuous blessings on this land, and that even though we don't often see the blessings (especially in light of all the troubles going on around us today),let's remember that God is Sovereign over all!
Have a safe and wonderful day!

One Year Anniversary

Today is my one year Blog-ivesary! 30+ posts later, lots of photos, and a quite a few comments!
So.......I am thinking about having a give away of some fun things I've been working on....in the line of jewelery, flowers, cards, etc.
But, I need to know if there would be any interest......So, tell your friends, and leave a comment letting me know what you think about this idea.
Thank you for your support and encouragement the last 365 days, 8736 hours, 524,160 seconds!!!! (Note: all calculations approximate!)
Here is my attempt at night photography! You can see a few stars!

Susanna | First Photos

First photos might seem like photos of a new baby, but these photos are actually the first ones I took with my new camera.

The color is absolutely amazing, and I LOVE the depth of field.

Susanna is always a cute model, but I think this is one of the best photo shoots we've ever done!

Enjoy!

Sarah & Madison | Sisters

About 2 months ago, I had the chance to photograph two cute sisters.....they are piano students of mine, very prim and proper, and I really enjoy both of them.
They live out on a farm with various photographic possibilities, so we decided have our photo shoot at their house!
We had a fun time (even though it was SUPER windy) and I was delighted to capture them.
May I now introduce Miss Sarah and Miss Madison-----






I love Sarah's glasses!


Aren't Madison's eyes beautiful!






This is their "attitude" photo......
