Our family used FHE to go and get pumpkins and carve the up! Nothing better than free pumpkins...

A New Way of Telling the Story

Ashley and I have been discussing a way to do a little photo shoot involving her ballet interest. So, we spent a few days trying to determine the best way to take the pictures, what to wear, what "props" would be best, etc. She was cute and "professional" about the whole thing. What we got turned out so great....it is worth checking out...

Before you click...this gallery doesn't scroll up and down, it scrolls left to right. Get it? Left-to-right! Also, there are 3 pages of pics, so click on the "more" button at the far right of each page to see more....makes sense, no?

The Ladies...

As They Are III....

I got a new lens today. I realize this should be on the BJM Photography Blog, but the pics are of my own children, not a sneak peek for a family....so here they will be.

The lens is a 35mm 2.0 Nikon lens...so nice. I got a pretty decent deal on Amazon and it arrived today. I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and onto the camera for some test shots. Of course, in the spirit of catching the children in their everyday moments, I just grabbed whoever would come and started snapping. I eventually got everyone (but myself)....







There was really very little editing here. I shot in RAW mode, did a little adjusting for white balance and contrast (very little), changed to 72 ppi, cropped to 8x10 and sharpened. Nothing else. Nice. So it only took about 7 or 8 minutes once I got into the house. The shooting itself only took about 5 minutes. This is how I like it...

Sisters

I don't have much time right now, but I had to post this one...I did a shoot last weekend in Park City and caught this wonderful picture of two sweet sisters studying a slug...

Yes. A slug. This was the perfect cross between sweet little princesses and a couple of tom-boys.

More of this family to come!!!
