Spring 2012

It's been a while since I've taken on a personal photo project and my husband has been letting me know that we need some new photos up in our house.  I realize that it is hardly spring here in Colorado, but spring is coming and the trees are starting to bud so I wanted to capture that.  I actually set out to take create a full color gallery but since it is barely spring we still don't have too much color so I opted for black and white.  I think it takes on a whole new world of itself, almost a scary one, where some of these "buds" look like claws or snake heads.

For this project I brought a long a piece of black matte board and a tiny clamp so I could turn outdoor photos into something a little more.  Here's the basic setup that I used:

SPRING or almost Summer!

I've been doing a lot of spring cleaning lately, which isn't much fun.  But last weekend we bought and planted some flowers and I just couldn't help myself when it came to buying these Iceland Poppies - yes I will probably kill them but look how gorgeous they are!!! Lots of fun changes coming down the pipe, even some yummy portrait specials to get the summer in full swing.  As of June 3rd I'm officially a full time photographer (not that I didn't put 40+ hrs in a week already) its just that I've quit my part time job and I'll have more ME time to shoot silly flowers and roam through the neighborhood.

As of today, I'm officially instigating that if any of my blog posts get 15 or more comments the featured client will get a super special gift.  So next time you are featured on here, share!
