Week 10–Hands

 

I borrowed Mules hands for this one. I couldn’t figure out a way to use my own with out a tripod.

I draped black fabric over part of his arms and knees so there was a solid background. Grabbed a desk lamp to avoid shadows and allow for some warmth in the lighting.

Edit Number 1. Made it black and white and did some cropping, but that’s about it.

Edit Number 2. Changed it to Sepia tones, added some softening to draw the eye in and cropped the edges.

Personally I love the second one and plan on blowing this up and framing it for the living room. Which one do you prefer?

Weeks 8 & 9

Ok... So I kinda suck and fell behind. No excuses. I've just been busy... really busy :)

Black and White...

This is my sister Emily. One of my favorite people on the planet. I look this pic just before I left for Texas.

A Mess...

This is just a small corner of my rediculously messy desk. I've been working my butt off getting ready for a fall market that I am participating in. Cleaning has taken a back seat for the next week or so. :S

Next weeks challenge: Hands!

Week #6 - Low Angle

This week the challenge wasn't too hard :)

I've been trying to write a letter a week to a friend or family member back home. This one is to my BFF and I jazzed it up a little with an adorable monkey stamp.





As a child I was always rediculously excited to get something in the mail and twenty plus years later that hasn't changed. If it has my name on it, its AMAZING until I open it and its another bill. Not so cool then.

Photography Challenge #5 - From a Higher Angle

I took this picture back in may during a Baby Bump shoot (see the full post here) before I moved to Texas.

Nikon D70
18-55mm lens

I was precariously perched on a "cliff" about 8 feet higher than the couple I was photographing. Fortunately no injuries occurred, even though getting down was far more challenging than getting up there.

Photo Challenge #4

This week's challenge is Dinner. I was a little intimidated by this challenge and had NO IDEA what I was going to do. I decided to stop Stressing about it and just take a picture of what I was making as opposed to trying to make something fancy.




Mule and I saw a commercial for the Velveeta Skillets meals and decided to give it a try.



It was super Delish! And oh so cheesey :) And no I wasn't paid to talk about this product. I paid money for it and I will do so again! Mule LOVED it.

Nathan and Danielle's Wedding

Back in October I photographed a good friends wedding. She was a gorgeous bride in a custom dress that her Aunt helped her design and make. This past week they had their first baby, a Boy named William. I couldn't be happier for them and in celebration I thought I'd post a few pics from their magical day.

Bold Colors - Week 3

This week's challenge is Bold colors. I was having a heck of a time coming up with an idea for this... then I hung some material I washed for a sewing project out on the line to dry, and the rest, as they say, is history...



It rained this morning, here in my part of texas for the first time since the June! While it hasn't done much to help the grass the breeze felt wonderful and it blew the laundry around just enough to make the shot a little more interesting.



Of course my new puppy (can we say AWESOME birthday present :D) Kai wanted in on the laundry action as well.



Opps... kinda cut her head off. The little darling barely ever stays still long enough for me to get a decent shot.

Isn't she adorable? I distracted her with a treat to get this LOL



Its not too late to join the challenge!
