Belated Birthday…

We celebrated Jackson’s 4th birthday over a month ago, and I just had to share this pic. Not only is it a great expression, but I love Henry’s little profile down in the corner as he’s mimicing his big brother’s muscle man face! SOOOO cute! Gosh, they grow too fast…

I shot this with Fugi 400, 35mm, and I love that it made my dim apartment look a little colorful!

Beach Retreat Part I

Okay, so I am a couple months late, but here are a few of what I got from our “Click Chicks” Beach weekend. Our new friend, Kelly Goode brought this super cute little dress that worked for a trendy little bridal shoot! Also, a pat on my own back for the hair piece, as you CAN’T tell, it’s made out of a paper towel, tee hee. Anywho, thank you Kelly for being my test dummy as this was my second atempt at film and it was nerve racking. I try to be a fun person behind the camera, but I must admit I was a little unsure and probably looked very conscerned the whole time. But Kelly rocked it, a true model came out, and she was gorgeous without much instruction at all, and that takes talent!
