I love doing portraits for friends, it gives us time to spend together to chat, and catch up on all the news, then a couple of days after they have gone home I get to send them a momento of the day! Michele looked lovely on Saturday. We drank a little bubbly, nibbled a little chocolate, it was a great visit. Thanks Michele, more of your photos will be ready soon!

Rachel, and the Sunday Model Shoot

I owe Kaley and apology, I for some strange reason kept wanting to call her Carly, so sorry Kaley. Along with the three ladies were 10 other photographers – yup 11 of us shooting portraits in the house! We set up lights in the basement with a black backdrop, in the dinning room in front of a very large landscape painting, the living room in front of the window and the christmas tree, and in one of the bedrooms in front of the small white christmas lights that you see here.
The Photographers were all pretty patient taking turns at each of the mini light studios with the ladies. There was a wealth of knowledge in the “rooms” and at time it was a little like the blind leading the blind, but all in all we got some great images. I will be posting more of my photos as I find time to process them, I seem to have over extended my time commitments this week, and I am having trouble finding time at the computer!
For those that might be interested I used the Florabella black and white champagne action for the black and white conversion. I like the tone it gives to the photograph.
see more of Rachel‘s photos from the model shoot.

Baby Emily, Baby Portraits

I have to admit that I was relucant to move her around too much, I didn’t want to wake her. Waking the sleeping baby is a lot waking the sleeping giant, once they are awake they control the room you are at their mercy, and they look so peaceful when they are asleep.
Using the macro lens I can get in close, with a shallow depth of field, we get a lovely photo of her hand at rest, and her cute little face.
