Loving Family Photos

Yesterday

I had such a wonderful time working with a local family yesterday that I couldn't wait until my next spare minute to go through the photos, select some of my favorites, and quickly email back the client with a sampler from the day. On here, I wanted to share a few photos, even though I've barely gone through the whole set!

One of the most heartwarming portraits I've ever taken; I simply fell in love with this little guy:

And, seriously, who doesn't love jumping on the bed?

Kick Back & Relax

Blizzard! Meaning: time to take and post some photos. Santa was quite thoughtful this year. He brought me a Fish-Eye Lens Adapter for Christmas! Pretty fun, and luckily, inexpensive. Santa's pockets weren't threadbare in his gift choices. ;)

The Lens Adapter is pretty cool. It's wide angle, so zooming in for a detailed shot doesn't allow you to get that "fish-bowl" look. But, if you keep your zoom far out, the fish-eye takes effect. I can't WAIT until the the snow lets up to get out and about to take some wide-angle landscape shots with it.

Here's some of my first attempts in monochrome, all snowed in. :)
