New Logo

I just spent some time in photoshop and created a logo for bags and so forth. I like it... but I feel like something is missing... Maybe I will take a look at it tomorrow and have a better idea. =)

Reverse - Black and White

On Monday night I spent hours playing with a picture from a shoot from a week ago and I really like the effect of it. I took a picture that was a little washed out but beautiful and bright. I made it black and white and very carefully selected the daisies to keep their color. Because the daisies were bokeh, they turned out to look almost like watercolor. I kind of liked the overall picture at first, but something did not quite seem right. So I went back to it the next day, adjusted the brightness and contrast a little and then decided to crop it and I think I am happy with the final product.

Portrait Session

This morning I had a portrait session with an adorable and absolutely fun young family. Here is a preview of some of the pictures for them. =)

Fireworks at Mrytle Beach

I have been dieing to get pictures of fireworks for the last couple of years and while I was in Mrytle Beach I had an unexpected opportunity! When we went to Barefoot Landing my last night there, I noticed a bunch of people were congregating on some of the boardwalks and I wondered why. A little while later, locked in a storage room, I was getting ready to try on a dress thinking to myself if it was worth the effort because of my near second degree sunburn, when I heard this loud bang. And it all made sense... fireworks! So I ran out of the "fitting room", gave the dress to the lady who got it down for me, told her I didn't think it would work out for me. Ran to the bench where my Nana was sitting, grabbed my camera and then ran around the corner to get some shots.

I used the boardwalk railing to steady my elbows and kept playing with the shutter speed as I took the pictures. Here are a few of them.

Preview of Today's Photo Session

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful little girl at a beautiful park! Here is a preview of some of the pictures. =)

Back from Vacation

Well, I got back from Mrytle Beach on Tuesday evening. It was a wonderful, much much needed mini vacation and I was not too excited to get back home. I did miss my other half, though, and my grandmother from Bermuda flew in just after me! I had yesterday off so we spent the day together. She went with me to check out a park for photo sessions (we were planning on visiting three, but the first one we went to was so incredible, we spent so much time there that we did not have time to stop anywhere else... it was BEAUTIFUL!)So, I am just now uploading the 2000 pictures I took while in Mrytle Beach and trying to go through them to post them online as I had two photo sessions down there. But my eyes are starting to burn and I am feeling incredibly tired so we shall see how much I get accomplished tonight. Here are a few pictures in the meantime, though. =)

Hello from Mrytle Beach!

Hi, everyone! I am very very sleepy and very very red! But, I just had to post at least one picture of my mom and her boyfriend that I took earlier today. There are a lot of really great ones so look for more to come!

Vacation Tomorrow!

Tomorrow I am going to start my journey down to SC with my extended family! I am very excited because I have not had a vacation in years and I have not been to a beach since I was... 17 or 18. I also get to see my momma who lives in NC which is exciting as well! I hope to get some great beach shots and post them. We will have a laptop with us so I should be able to get some up if I have time. =)
