Portraits of a Senior: Shane

Shane asked me to take his senior portraits. Due to his love of football, we met up after school on the football field. Needless to say, we got some pretty great shots! He also plays drums, and wanted a 'nice' photo...and we found a woodpile out by the greenhouse that made for a great backdrop. Pretty clever, eh?

Portraits of a senior: Danica

I had the pleasure of meeting up with a young lady at a local park for some of her senior pictures in her prom dress. It was so much fun....and the last image is my personal favorite...everything about it, I just love!

My personal favorite:

Coneflowers & a Bee

I just posted this for fun on the Pioneer Woman's latest photo assignment: flowers.

...of my camera lens.
I took the boys to the park last Friday after I picked them up from daycare so we could let loose and have some fun. I set my camera down on the platform of the equipment because Ethan loves when he and I go down the little slide together. Austin, just off to my right, said he wanted to take a picture of us. How could I say no? I made sure my camera settings were still right (I shoot in Manual about 98% of the time! Yay!). I helped him put the camera strap around his neck, then told him to look through the eyepiece to see if he could see both Ethan and I, back up a bit, and then press the button. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out! Austin says that in addition to being a "Police" he wants to take pictures of people, too. :) Way to make a mama proud!
