Shutterbugs week 3

The topic for this week in the shutterbugs workshop was composition. Look for use of the rule of thirds, leading lines, and negative space.

Shutterbugs on the playground

We took the class outside this week. Everyone had fun taking pictures of each other and the equipment on the playground.

Shutterbugs: Starting to think like photographers

The shutterbugs (grades 1-3) had a great time in their enrichment class. They learned to think, look, see, point, click and enjoy.

First three edited (teaser)

There are many more amazing images of this awesome girl. Sixteen going on Super Model. She even did her own hair and makeup for this session!

Moore Fun

Brothers who actually get along... I'm so glad she decided to post a comment to the BIG Photography Giveaway on the Becky Higgins blog. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet her and the handsome men in her life.

See what I mean!?!

Smiling faces, rekindled friendships, Korean culture, great food, one big happy family...

Sneak Peak - New Backgrounds

Marlene and her family won a portrait session through the Becky Higgins Blog contest earlier this year. It has been about 14 years since her family had a portrait made. I'm glad we were able to have the session before her boys grew up completely and moved out on her!

She had her heart set on an outdoor session by a lake, so we scheduled it for October. Unfortunately, the recent heat wave drove us indoors for most of the session, and she wasn't able to reschedule. Since I was just as disappointed as Marlene, I decided to create a cool new backdrop for the session. I gathered up four doors and got to work painting and distressing them. Some were already pretty distressed!

More images soon! I'm still editing them...
