Savannah

I had an opportunity to shoot this beautiful girl several times. I know I have been bad about keeping the blog full but, I have been extremely busy the past few months. The first time I shot pictures of Savannah was with a group called LCA- Lights, Camera, Action. This group meets several times a year and  shoots for a theme. The theme in June was Homecoming/Prom night. We had several girls in their beautiful dresses for a photo shoot. We had a great time, made some great photos and made some great friends. Savannah is the daughter of a friend and she is a natural. After the LCA meeting, Savannah's mom asked me to do some Senior shots so we headed to Atlanta. Then I had this great idea to take Savannah to a lake with a long dress. The plan was to have her in the lake with this long dress. We took several shots around the lake--waiting for the sunset. Surprisingly there were a few people in the lake swimming. Once we put Savannah in the water they all decided to move behind her and we could not get shots of her in the water without the swimmers.

Introducing Parker

Though Parker is too old for "newborn" shots, he did a great job. Typically newborn shoots are planned for the first 2 weeks after birth. Parker is one month old but he did a fantastic job. He cooperated better than some new babies. Even though he was awake he seldom cried and he did not pee or poop on anyone or anything. So happy to have the opportunity to shoot this special little guy.

Standing on the Corner

This year I decide to focus on a couple different projects. This is the first of one of the projects. Throughout the year I will concentrate on these two projects so I can improve my photography. I know it is always more difficult to come up with ideas and composition when working in an unrelated field, and this can only increase and/or enhance my skills. While you will notice these are not clear focus, it was my intention. I wanted to do these at night without lights/flash and in motion. I am pretty pleased with the outcome and look forward to my next outing on this project.

Another Night of Headshots

A group of photographer friends got together to do the unthinkable. Take pictures of each other. Most photographers do not want to be in front of the camera. Being behind the camera is what we know and what we prefer. But, like most people in business, we needed a headshot. Whether it be for our website, facebook page, we needed it. So it only seemed fitting that we should start the new year with a new photo and a chance to hang out with friends with common interests and goals but most of all, taking pictures.

Head Shots!

I had the opportunity to take some head shots this week. I was pretty happy with them but, why wouldn't I be. I had a beautiful model. Working with Sara was a joy. She was relaxed in front of the camera, had a beautiful smile and she eagerly cooperated with my demands. Ha ha. Doing head shots is just a little different than all my other photos but definitely a fun thing to do.

Family Time is Fun Time

Take a family to a local park and all kinds of fun will break loose. When the family is having fun that is the time to bring out the camera. It's not about the poses and practiced expressions, it is about the fun and spontaneity that makes good picture making.

Where Eagles Fly

After my grandson's 5th birthday we stopped at Conowingo Dam to see the eagles. The kids had such a good time. The dam is a beautiful sight but those eagles. Unfortunately I did not have a long enough lens to capture these beautiful birds, but I got some of the kids!!

The cold weather did not keep the kids from wanting to play outside.
