Natural light indoors

Right not we are experiencing our 54th day of over 100* weather here in TX! Yuck. Although I prefer shooting outdoors, it's just too dang hot right now. I've been experimenting with using natural light indoors for portraits. I always wish for more cooperative subjects (do your kids hold still for pictures?) but I was able to get a few that I really liked using available light indoors.

Trying new cameras

Thanks to my old camera breaking...dropped...by me :( I had to borrow my friend's Nikon for a photo shoot a few weeks ago. Anxious since it was a new camera for me, I asked my somewhat less-than-willing children to sit in as my subjects for an impromptu session. I got confident using my friend's camera AND some great shots of my girls. The happy ending to the sadness of my camera breaking is that I convinced my hubbie to sign off on the purchase of a great new camera-a Canon 60D. It came today- so excited! Sadly, the lenses won't be here until Saturday-hopefully in time for a family photo shoot with some good friends!

Welcome to my photo blog!

I love photography! For years I've been captivated by the beauty in nature that can be captured in a single frame. In our early marriage we had the chance to live all over the country and I loved to photograph the details large and small that defined the area we lived in. Now, as my family grows, I've added family photography to my hobbies- I love capturing the love and joy that defines a happy family.
