Hello my bloggy friends. : )  I have a little news… about my blog.  If you follow me frequently, you’ve noticed that my posts haven’t been up at the same regularity as before. Well, that’s only going to get worse… sorry. : ( I’m suspending Tuesday posts for now & may no longer be able to update every week.  Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you completely, just a post a bit less often.

This is due to my recently acquiring an awesome job at Cattilac Style as a T-shirt Designer/Graphic Artist.  *Throws confetti in the Air*  I’m very excited about this opportunity!

Of course, I’m still open for business.  Especially senior pictures… Seniors of 2011, you are thinking about your Senior pictures early, right? : ) It’s best to get them done by December or January so you can get all the extras, announcements, etc. you want & not have any concern with getting your stuff on time.

Now, of course, an image for the day:

Yes, I’m posting a little less, but I’m still around. Email me if you’re interested in a session & we’ll work out the details.

Happy Tuesday to all!

Last bluebonnet post. : )

Hope you haven’t missed me too much the last few days (okay, weeks) but things have been hectic.  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of blogging before too long.

Enjoy the last bluebonnet!

Shoes: Finale

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

: ) Final shoes post. And in Black & White.

These shoes are actually mine & a favorite pair I got recently.  I’ve already worn them often enough for there to be little scuffs on the toes (you can’t see it here). But they’re the most comfortable almost-flats (they have like a 1/2 inch heel) that I’ve ever owned. Anyway, most importantly, they’re cute and I <3 them. lol.

I’ve got a load of images to process, still so Happy Tuesday everyone. : )

Cowgirl Boots

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Installment 3 of shoe images. : )

These are the cute boots that Desiree wore for our session. Aren’t they fabulous?

The image is pretty busy, but I think it’s balanced out by the pop of color of her boots. Plus I undoubtably love the grass & the shadows it made. : D

What do you think? Is the image busy or do you like it?

Tuesday: 2 Shoes

Have a wonderful Tuesday!  I’ve got some fantabulous & beautiful images for Friday!

Tuesday: Ballet

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Ballet Pointe Shoes.

I think every photographer has a few things that they’d just love to photograph.  One of mine has been fulfilled. : D  I love ballet shoes.  I never took ballet because I didn’t think I’d like it when I was little, but one of my best friends did.  So when Brooke (full post coming Friday) contacted me for her Senior Portraits & told me she wanted to bring her Pointe shoes, I was giddy with excitement.  Of course, we spent a lot more time photographing her with and without her shoes, but I stole a few minutes & a pair of shoes to do some shots.  And here’s my favorite.

For the next 3 weeks, I’ll share some shoe images, though I don’t guarantee they’ll be my best images.  There’s something about shoes (especially when on feet) that I seem to have trouble photographing, lol.  So, I’m going to force myself to get at least a little better.

Have a lovely Tuesday.  Enjoy the warm Spring weather. ; )

Black & White vs. Color: Take 2

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

Okay, so last week’s opinions were split right down the middle… so I thought I’d try again. ; )

Well, actually I just thought it was fun to see what people voted on & why.  So if you’ll indulge me for another week, here’s another lovely image to give some opinions on:

In completely unrelated news, I thought I’d share just for funsies that my excessive tweeting about book contests has paid off.  : )  I’ve won 3 contests so far, hooray!  If you’re interested in such things, click on over to my Twitter page & poke around to find some chances to win free books (mostly YA/urban fantasy/paranormal) from nice bloggers that review books & host contests.  Although, I did use the word excessive for a reason to describe the number of tweets & maybe I should create a new Twitter account just for such things… In fact, I think that sounds like a dandy idea!

But enough of that, tell me what you think: Color or Black & White on this image?

Happy Tuesday!

Black & White or Color?

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010

So I thought I’d take a break from my Tuesday post schedule.  Maybe it’s because I’m curious about the answer, or maybe it’s because me & my camera have been inside a lot lately working on the computer. Maybe it’s both.  Wink, wink.

Seriously, though, I’m curious about this.  Do you prefer Color or Black & White on a “typical” close-up portrait.  By typical portrait, I mean the subject’s face takes up most of the space in the image & is focused on the eyes and other features.  A headshot, in other words. Now, the easy answer for these is that it depends on the photo. And I know, it does to some extent, but on the other hand, when I’m doing processing, I’ll typically convert a handful into black & white & I’m just wondering what others think.  I’m a black and white fan (though I also like color), but I want some feedback.

With this in mind, I present one of Lauren’s portraits from last week’s session.  I just love that you can see her laugh in this image.

So what does everyone think? Do you usually like color but like this particular image in black and white? Or vice versa? Or are you flat-out always going to choose color? Share!  : )

Happy Tuesday to all.

Winter’s Nature: Final

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

I’m not sure what this plant is.  But I thought it was pretty. : )

I’ve got a full week ahead after a full weekend. We got to visit my brother & his wife & little Noah, who has gotten so big!  He still has all that hair & blue eyes!  He’s such a handsome baby.  : )

I hope everyone else had a good weekend, too. I’ll have some pretty senior images coming soon!

Happy Tuesday!
