I Love these three so much I can't stand it!

My Sweet Sweet Boy

Bedtime

As I was getting ready for a busy saturday full of sessions I found some forgotten pictures on my memory card. I forgot all about them because I was certain they were an ultimate fail. It was bedtime and our living room light is supplied by one lonely lamp. I had my ISO bumped up to at least 1000 and so I knew the pictures were grainy and blurry.  Once I scanned throught them on my computer they started to take on a life of there own. I love the way a picture can really capture a moment.

Don't Smile!

Today was a take your kids with you to work kind of day

They were such troopers even though it was freezin cold!

It was well worth the effort and the family was beautiful! Can't wait to finish editing so I can get them posted.

My Baby is ONE!

I almost always prefer natural color pictures but in this case my lighting wasn't perfect. We were in heavy shadow and even with photoshop I couldn't get the skin tones right. So when in doubt try a funky edit:)

 I wasn't going to attempt taking my 2 1/2 year old's pictures but she was with us was actually giving me real smiles! Her Hair is a mess but oh well she is still stinking cute!

Day 3

Day 3= Day 1 of sick kids

Day 1

Spring Snow

I cheated and added two, I just couldn't choose! It won't happen again ;)

Halloween at our house 2010

Photography has become all about photo shop. We all use it as a crutch. With these pictures I decided to let there cute faces speak for themselves. I'm not anti photo shop and I will still use it (a lot), For instance I used it to correct my backgrounds (which were just blankets on the couch). And for certain pictures it can be a lot of fun. I'm just hoping to improve behind the camera so I don't rely so heavily on photo shop.
On a technical note. There is NO good light in NY this time of year. I am finding it impossible to shoot flash free with my dinky old lens so I am relying on my flash way more than I would like. If I had the money for the lens I wanted this wouldn't be a problem. I think I am going to have to start playing with my lighting a lot more if I want to get rid of the annoying shadows and flash glare. Wish me luck.
