Here’s a close-up shot of Chelsea, look at those beautiful blue eyes! The catch lights are fabulous…I think I’m going to have to do more shooting in transit shelters! 😉
I hope you like your picture Chelsea! Tomorrow, Abby is up again. Day after that I will post three macro close-ups, one of each girl.
Since I’ve already run a photo of the youngest daughter, Abby, from my family shoot last Sunday, I thought I would now work from oldest to youngest. (Chelsea, that means you’re up tomorrow!) The next three days will be close-up shots, of the daughters, taken with my 100 mm macro lens.
Shortly after we began the photo shoot a very dark cloud loomed over us. Sure enough it started to rain, but it was one of those weird rain storms where the sun was still shining. As there were no convenient coffee shops to dash into, we took cover in a bus shelter. The lighting was actually perfect for the close-up shots as there were wonderful catch lights in all the girls eyes. So we didn’t end up losing any shooting time. By the time we were finished the rain had almost stopped and we proceeded with the family session in the park.
So here’s one of beautiful Madison. Tomorrow will be Chelsea and then Abby the day after that.
I hope you like your photo Madison!
Here’s a shot of just the ‘girls’ from my family shoot last Sunday.
Today, continuing the sneak peek for the O-Family, I thought I would upload one of the ‘heart’ photos. This was shot with a lensbaby G3 lens, which is a selective focus lens. A heart shaped creative aperture disk is installed which causes the specular highlights to show up as hearts. The hearts don’t show up as strongly as they would have if we’d had a background of out-of-focus lights, but you can see them all around, if you look. My Hearts & Stars blog post shows a clearer example of how well the shapes can show up if the specular highlights are more pronounced.
I hope you like the hearts Abby! 🙂
In keeping with ‘November is blog posting month’, I will be posting sneak peeks of a family shoot I did yesterday throughout the week.
It ended up being a great day, even though we had a bit of rain come down (but made valuable use of the time, as you shall see in the coming days, with the macro shots of the beautiful girls). Here’s a shot I love of the whole group:
Thanks Shannon! I had a great time and captured some wonderful images. Check back over the course of the week for more sneak peeks. 🙂
