The Culverhouse Family

What a joy this family was to work with!  With a sweet baby, an adorable girl, loving parents and grandparents, we just had a great time!

The Dawes Family

I had the opportunity to do a photo session with my close friend, Maria, from back home (British Columbia), along with her husband, Colin, and 16 month old boy.  We went to the field that I have used before, and let their little guy, Micaiah, run wild, adorably bare-chested, and tried to capture some of his exuberance and child-like wonder as he explored the hillside.

A Thursday Afternoon

It’s not very often that I get out my camera these days to just do a shoot with my own kids.  Besides, it was Thursday afternoon and we had a couple hours until my husband was getting home, so off we went to explore downtown Palo Alto for some new photo spots!  Sometime during the session, I promised the girls that they could have frozen yogurt afterwards.  It kind of spoiled their dinner, and I had a difficult time getting Evera to walk all the way down University Avenue to find the yogurt place, but we made it.  And I felt a great sense of accomplishment.  And I spoiled their dinner.

Playing with Texture

My newest “thing”, as of yesterday, is the concept of layering textures on photos to create a different look, or enhance a look that I’m already striving for.   I just tried one from http://jessicadrossintextures.blogspot.com, and am really happy with the effect it produced with a photo I already loved to begin with.  This was one of my favorite photos from the Afternoon in the Sun session.   Here is it with the texture as a “soft light” layer (for those of you Photoshop users)

 

This is with the texture as an “overlay” layer – you’ll notice that this version is a little more punchy.

 

This is the photo before the texture layer was added.

Afternoon in the Field

My husband humored me a little while ago, so I could do a mini-shoot of him and the kids in a field nearby.  The setting sun was gorgeous, and duck duck goose proved a great activity for some action shots!
