Feet. Feet. Feet.

Feet Feet Feet
So, I think I'm going to create a whole section on the blog devoted to the great subject of feet. I like feet a whole lot better in photograph form than do in person, actually. Maybe it is somehow tied to my love of shoes... hmmmm. Anyway, I have lots of feet pictures and I think they need to be collected in one place. So, don't be surprised if your feet end up on here. And, if I'm taking your pictures in a session or just candidly at an event, be sure to have thought about how your feet look. For family or children's portrait sessions, I usually reccommend that you go barefoot. It looks so much more natural and real. However, this means that you should think about this ahead of time: how do you nails look? did your husband scrub the bottom of his filthy feet? does your toddler have sock impressions on his feet from a day's worth of play? I'm not saying you have to rush out and get a pedicure or anything... just give the subject of feet some thought when planning your portraits. You might just end up with a cute shot of your family that you were not expecting. And your feet might end up on here.



This week I entered this photo of my niece's feet in the i {heart} faces blog challenge. I took it while hanging out and playing around in the backyard with my nieces and nephews. Jillian is always up for a photo-op!

Photos. Photos. Photos!






This post should be named "Editing. Retouching. Processing. Part II". I have been going back and looking over some older photos from the past year. They looked nice how they were; however, with my new tinkering skills, I now know how to make them look the best that they can. Hopefully, I did that. Summer is here and I believe the colors of bathing suits and lollipops are affecting me. The pictures I've been working on all have a pop of color to them! Let me know what you think... you can leave comments on here, our facebook fan page (did I mntion we are trying to make it to 100 fans so we can get our own fancy URL?), or on Flickr. The links are all way at the top of this BLOG.

In other news, we have opened a fan store at CafePress.com, where you can purchase shirts and other merchandise with some of our photos on them. Our logo also appears on the back, but it very small.

Be on the lookout for lots of new pics to roll in this week, because I have 5 photo shoots planned! Hope the summer heat and rain is treating you well...
