Mosaic

I recently helped with a little photography workshop at the school's art night. The theme for the evening was mosaics, so we tried to incorporate that into the workshop by taking mulitple pictures of the same subjects, but using different "parts" of the subject. We also focused on 5 basic photography principles.

Space

Texture

Color

Line

Angle

This project really inspired me! It was fun to go into it with the restrictions and I loved the results. I plan to photograph my other kids in this way and hang the prints in their rooms!

The M Family

I have so much fun taking pictures for my friends! I get to see them interact, as a family, in a unique way and it's great. This family is wonderful and their little girl is so darling I think she might even be edible...

Again with the blue eyes! I think heaven is taunting me...

This little Miss had so much energy! That, combined with the heat, made her cheeks so delightfully rosy - you can't Photoshop that!

I hope you guys like them! I'll be seeing you soon!

The D Family

This was such a nice family! I had so much fun wandering the park with them. Their little guy kept me so entertained. I hope you guys enjoy these; this is just the tip of the iceberg!

WARNING: Incredible blue eyes ahead!

I did warn you...

The T Fam

A little sneak peek for one of my favorite families! Until recently, these guys were our good neighbors and we sure miss them!

Little Miss Nieces

These two pretties are my very own nieces! Don't I come from a lovely gene pool? I have to get my blue eyes any way I can...

Those eyes... I tell you what...

The V-Dub Family

This was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had with photography so far! I tried some new things, had fun with my new lens, and had the most photogenic family to experiment on. They were such good sports! Especially considering the 100 degree heat... uh, sorry about that. You guys are awesome and I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!

Recently...

It's been 8 months since I last posted anything here! My camera has not been dormant though. Here's a glimpse of some of my favorite photographs from the recent (and not so recent!) past. I realized, after uploading them all, that these are all shots of some of my favorite people: family! Wow, am I lucky to have so many people around me that are willing to let me point my camera at them. Or maybe they feel obligated... either way, I love 'em all! Enjoy!
