Sweet Shot Tuesday

Experimenting with bokeh.  I didn't have the "pretty bokeh" lens on, but I think this would make a nice background for something...I just haven't decided what.  I guess I have at least 10 months to decide :-).


I know, these are really supposed to be pictures from THIS week, but I decided they count if I'm just editing and dealing with them this week ;-).

Project 52-Made with Love Challenge

Darcy at Life With My 3 Boybarians is hosting a Project 52 Challenge-one themed photo a week.  I want to participate...granted I'm not quite starting with week one...and so I'm jumping in!  This week's theme is "Made with Love".  This photo is of my uber-artistic daughter decorating a cookie at our family cookie day.  The recipe is her favorite aunt's, and not only was the dough made with love, the frosting of the cookies was definitely a labor of love on my daughter's part.

Sweet Shot Tuesday

Darcy at Life With My 3 Boybarians hosts a Sweet Shot Tuesdays....a chance for you to post your favorite image of that week.  I'd love to have something hold me more accountable to posting here, so I'm going to try to participate!

Not quite from this week, but just getting uploaded to my computer (yes, I'm a little behind with the holidays).  I took a break during our family cookie making day to take some fun "stylized" sort of shots. I love these copper cookie cutters dusted with the flour of use and love :-).

Mt. Dora Area Newborn Photography- Baby GK

Here's the little miss whose brother and sister I shot a few months ago.  She's a total cutie who also resisted sleeping for me for quite a while, but she did finally give in to sweet slumber toward the end of our shoot.  Enjoy!

Sorrento Area Newborn Photography- Baby S

Poor little baby S. She just did NOT want to sleep for me. Apparently, she slept the whole next day to make up for it though! So at least we got a couple smiley pictures and captured her in her pretty dress. We'll give it another try when she's a little older.

Mount Dora Family Photographer- P Family

What a gorgeous family!  We had a fun photo shoot-these three kiddos and I.  I've known each of them since they were born really, and so even though their mom was laid up with a bum leg (after getting hit by a car while walking into a store!), the four of us left right after church and went hopping from place to place taking pictures here and there until our rumbling tummies put an end to our photo shoot.

Mount Dora Family Photographer-H Family

I recently had the chance to do a shoot with a family that is special to me for several reasons. First, the mom Kris is not only a friend, but an amazing Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with a practice that specializes in seeing kids-sick or well- AT HOME! How great is that!?! Second, her family was my very first paying client. And third, her little boy, who is now one sticky finger old, gave me a chance to do one of my first newborn shoots ever. (And with a new "bun in the oven", I'm hoping for another newborn shoot in the not-too-distant future.)

Here are a few photos from our shoot.
