What a baby!

Ruby just turned 5 months old already. Even though she's lifting her head very nice, the optimum shot on Saturday was me directing light straight down to the floor. Ruby had a blast playing the model...always answering with giggles and smiles.

One of the things that I find myself doing as a student of
photography...is taking a self portrait. On this night I was looking for a casual portrait. I took some shots of myself and then Maddie showed up from College.
Camera's today reveal all the imperfections of skin.
And I now hear my dad's voice telling me to get out of the sun when I was 15 So sorry dad! I should have listened.

Maddie poses for my casual portrait assignment.

Thank you Maddie.

I love the way I lit Sara in this image.

I had a whole studio full of girls Sunday evening. Ruby stole the show with that adorable 5 month old smile.
