Tuesday's Treasures

Lest you start to think that Sunflower is my only child, I have a sweet shot for the three oldest today.

Sunflower:

Huckleberry:

Soon we will have treasure number four, but for now some flowers will have to do:

I tried to use some textures on this so I could submit it for Texture Tuesday, but nothing was working for me.  I think the background already had enough texture and color in it.  So then I used a different picture for Texture Tuesday.  I love how textures can totally change an image.

I used several different layers today. On the bottom one layer of Kim Klassen's Annabelle at 100% soft-light.  Then on layer of Not too Shabby at 38% soft-light.  Then a final top layer of Not Too Shabby at 17% Hard Light.

I hope you have a most excellent Tuesday!

 

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Aw, I'd forgotten how much fun photography is when there is actual light!  And to shoot specifically for the prompts?  Fun hunt!

Today I followed a friend who is a professional photographer on her mini-shoots.  It was a blast to see her work and I learned a lot.  She works so well with her clients and does beautiful work.  Someday...

Simple:

Just in case anyone thought it was simple to get a good portrait shot.

Grain:

This little one had no trouble sitting on the grains of sand.  (I also took lots of pictures of the sand, but I really just think kids are more interesting.)

Transportation:

I am confident this mode of transportation won't get Sunflower very far, but she sure looks like she believes it will.

Stitch:

The stitches on my tennis shoe with my other friend's macro lens.  I gotta get me a macro!

Bubbles:

This little one made the cutest little bubbles.  She is one day younger than our soon to be daughter.

I hope you had a great week and have a fantastic Sunday!

The Bulb Farm

I still haven't worked on my Easter pictures because I went to a bulb farm with friends and worked on those pictures first.  The husbands of the two ladies I went with are deployed so I wanted them to have the photos to share quickly.  Of course I spent some of the time taking pictures of Sunflower...she is, at least for now, my favorite model.

Yes...this is her Easter dress.  She had to wait a whole week to wear it after we bought it; she insisted on wearing it two days in a row.  Who am I to complain?  She looks so beautiful in it.
