Week 9: Sunset

Well this weeks theme was sunset/sunrise. This week has been nothing but icky and cold. Today was the 1st nice day, but unfortunately no real sunset.  So I thought a little outside of the box and started looking for items around the house that had the same colors as a sunset. Next best thing right? Well in my finds were my pineapple plants which I am going to miss dearly. I really wish I could ship them home.  Anyways, the reds, pinks, greens, and everything just reminds me of what a sunset usually looks like. Well maybe not so much the greens, unless their is severe weather or a tornado near.  Of course I am late on this too. Hey, don't hate, it happens and it got D-U-N DONE.  <-- Thanks Phil for always saying that.  Well here is this weeks photo.

Week 8: Black and White

Finally I am in my comfort zone. Black and White. Oh how I love black and white pictures. I think it just share much more of a story and freezes time more than color.

Week 7: Catchlights

Catchlights are simply a light source reflected in the eyes of your subject.
I had the pleasure this week to shoot a little girl for her 1 year pictures. We had so much fun. She was too cute even in the sand.

Week 6: Negative Space

Well, this weeks theme is negative space. I love off centered photography and using the rule of thirds. Anyway, I had the privilege to take family photos for our good friends the "B" family. There is nothing like getting silhouettes of all 4 of them ( yes even baby "L's" head could be seen) in a little rock over hang. The day was perfect.

Week 5: Reflection

Of course last minute again. I need to step it up. This week I had such a hard time finding inspiration on reflection. I didn't want to do a self portrait in the mirror. The pictures of my son's 1st hair cut didn't quite make the cut either. So I searched the great World Wide Web and found inspiration.
Plus since Valentine's Day is creeping up on us I think this is very fitting.

Week 4: Natural Light

This weeks theme is all about natural lighting. Since my husband's and my 3 year anniversary was on the 22nd, he brought home pretty tulips and sweet peas. Perfect items to photograph. This sweet pea turned out to be my absolute favorite. Hope you enjoy.
