It is challenging to blog. I have to wait for it to come. Contemplate the session after I decompress from it. (Usually takes a couple bottles of beer for that to happen). What came from it other than pictures? There is always something more. I know my fellow photographer friends know what I am talking about. What came from this session was for me. These kids are GORGEOUS, without a doubt, so it was easy as pie to jump in and go for it.
I am allowed to toot my own horn right? and say that I am really happy with my work right now. Sure I will look back in a year and say, “Gosh those pictures are horrible,” like I do with pictures taken last year, but for now, contentment is mine. My inner eye is confident.
I am at a point where I don’t care if something is technically right or not. I don’t care about the rules anymore. I get all of that. I can take a picture straight out of the camera and be confident it is a proper exposure. The shots that make you stop and look again are the ones that matter and sometimes those are not “right.” If the focus falls somewhere else, but it makes me stop and wonder, it’s a good shot.
I played with dramatic lighting on this day. Dramatic “natural” lighting. I love shadows and depth, so these days I am following my bliss with it. Last year that wouldn’t have happened. Inner eye. Inner eye.
Blah blah blah….. here are the cutie pies. So cute in fact I put them on my splash page. Thanks Maddie and Abram for being who you are and for allowing me to learn and keep it real!
Been bitten by back-light too. Oooooh so pretty.
Focus fell on the nose, but do I care? Nope. Her nose is cute and a main reason her face is her face.
Can you feel the freedom in her laugh? Oh I can.
He has the same nose!!! I could eat him.
“SEE YA, I’m outtie!”
Can you feel it??? I don’t know what it is but this shot makes me shiver.
WowZa!
