My Favorite Face!
Posted on October 2, 2010
The fun folks at Love That Shot are having a contest that I just couldn’t resist. The goal is to shoot and show your favorite face.
Well that was pretty darn easy for me. My favorite face belongs to my absolutely adorable daughter, Zara. And last night during bathtime, I couldn’t resist getting some new shots of my favorite face ever.
This one is my contest entry:
But I couldn’t resist sharing some of the others!
These shots were tricky considering the typically abysmal bathroom lighting, but I shot at f1.4, SS1/400 & ISO 1000. There were terrible color issues despite my having used my BaLens for a custom white balance, but I think I got most of them worked out in PS. I also wanted to make sure that there were no, um, bits showing. But other than a little midtone lift, I processed them clean.
Can you see why she’s my favorite face?
She’d Rather Be Swimming
Posted on August 30, 2010
On Saturday August 21st, I showed up at my client’s house to shoot my first 3 year old who wasn’t my daughter. She eagerly ran out to meet me with her green dress and brown hair flying behind her. Piece of cake, I thought as I unpacked my props and pettiskirts. This will be so simple.
Two hours later, I left having been put in my place by that amazing thing called toddler will. The biggest lesson of the day was…when a toddler says that she wants to go swimming about 15 minutes into the shoot, you let her!
Here are some great captures of little L:
Hooray! She happily goes to the pool!
She is such a beautiful little girl!
