A Day for the Ladies

Posted on August 9, 2009

Each time I do a photo session I realize how blessed I am.  I love what I do!  Combine that love with the opportunity to capture the essence of family makes my love for photography increase tenfold.  Thank you Stella and Erin for entrusting me with your girls, allowing me to create keepsakes for you to enjoy for all the years to come.  The images below are just a sneak peak of your day.  Enjoy!

A Field of Lupines

Posted on June 8, 2009

Utilizing available light is one of the most precious joys I find in photography.  Normally I prefer to shoot pictures during the two different “golden hour” times of day, which are early morning, just after sunrise, and evening, before the sun sets.  Yesterday, however, I was at a friend’s house in the afternoon while the sun was blazing high in the sky.  They have a magnificent field of lupines and I just couldn’t resist photographing them.  I adjusted my camera settings to ‘spot metering’ and I decided to shoot towards the sun so the lupines were back lit, creating a magical feeling with the glimmering light in the distance.

The following images are from the lupine field.  The first one I did a color treatment called Golden Vintage.  I really like the effect – very ethereal.

This next image is the original, which I also love.  The colors are more true, but I like the above image for its magical qualities.
