Peyton 2.16.09

Peyton and I were on our way to take a shower (I wore my swimsuit) when Jessie had a great idea to take a picture of me holding him.  I posed him and myself next to a wall and shot a flash against the wall (to blow out everything except us).

Here are a few of the shots that were taken
This is my favorite.  I think he is just so cute!  Jessie thinks he has the "cutest tooshers ever"

Baby Portrait 2009



Here is a two week old I had the opportunity to photograph this week.  
Here is an example of a Baby announcement I made for this family.  They can buy in increments of 25 at a relatively cheap cost.





this chair was in a back room not being used in the regular house.  It was perfect for this shoot!
Simply asked them if they had a bowl that she could fit in.  She was a bit fussy with the bowl.  Actually a little fussy then entire shoot - but not too bad.
One of the first captures I go.

Superbowl - off camera flash

EXAMPLE OF OFF CAMERA FLASH.

The superbowl party was a blast!  We had a ton of students, their friends, as well as some siblings and parents.  It was probably close to 75 people at the house.  I brought my ghetto rigged off camera flash equipment to play around with during the night.  Here are a few pictures using he equipment.


Here i put the flash directly behind Zach.  I bounced it against the wall.
My off camera light it directly behind them on this shot.  It gives a sense of  3 dimension to get the outline of them lit up. 
Here is just an example of the off camera flash.  I put i on the chest and pointed it straight up.  It allowed me to use my on camera flash as fill.
