Category Archives: My girl… This is my third year of doing this (here are 2011 and 2012), and I always love to look back on my year so I’ve decided to keep it an annual thing. (Plus, I will get to add one more image every year—this time I only have to narrow to 13 instead of to 12!) […]  This has been such a wonderful year for me in getting to know these ladies, and I am so excited that we are continuing on together in 2014 (admittedly, though, we haven’t yet settled on a topic…)! This month we decided to do a year in review, so we each picked our favorites from each […]  This month’s assignment in our little group was to create a portrait with the face not in focus. In my head I saw all these dreamy, graceful images filled with lovely shape and colors with absolutely nothing in sharp focus, but I just couldn’t figure out how to bring my vision to life in photos, […]  Since it’s Halloween this month, we decided to do a mask shoot with a mask we found about a year ago. I haven’t had my Edge 80 for very long, so I practiced with that optic only—in fact, when we went out to shoot, that was the only one I brought with me so I […]  I love these kinds of portraits, where the viewer gets to “look in on” a person just doing their thing, where the fact that a photographer is there is not relevant to the subject of the images. Capturing a moment in time, unposed and unaffected. Because these are the memories I most want to savor […]  In our Project 12 blog circle this month, we focused on creating a portrait that didn’t include a face. I think a portrait should demonstrate “who a person is” in some way; it should show a facet of their personality. And since Emily started high school this fall and has her first-ever locker, I decided […]  I was excited to play with this month’s challenge, and then life happened… First Em was sick and then I was, so this was the only “motion blur” image I ended up with. But that’s OK, because this needed to be documented anyhow—Emily got a new bike this month from a dear friend!!!! She has […]  I love shooting wide open, and I love it even more when I get glorious circles of light, so I was excited about this month’s challenge! But then Emily asked if we could scrapbook this weekend, and since she is starting high school (high school!!!!) in a few days, I was feeling nostalgic so it […] |
