Jade Tree

Yesterday I was inspired to go outside and take a few pictures of the little bit of ice that hadn’t melted yet. In the front yard I found some miniature fantastical ice gardens! I’m sure I looked a little weird to the people driving by since at 39 weeks pregnant it’s a little difficult to get down on the ground to take macro pics, but it was fun. This photo is my favorite. As soon as I looked at it I decided it looked like a misty japanese style tree. I added a little bit of color to enhance the effect and we have the Jade Tree!

Vanilla Twilight

I recently discovered the music of Owl City. I totally fell in love with the song Vanilla Twilight and named this photo in its honor. If you haven’t heard it check it out on YouTube.

Which do you like?

A few days ago I found this gorgeous pair of ruby leaves. When I started playing around with the pictures I couldn’t decide which version of the photo I like better.  Which do you like?

Bliss

Last weekend Heather and Peter came down to stay with us! I had Heather bring some fun clothes so we could play around with some fall photos.  It was fun to watch the girls (Jasmine dressed up too), twirl around in the leaves in their fancy dresses. I love the feel of this one – a return to childhood!

High Wire

Last week we took Jasmine down to the park at the end of the street for a bit. While I was taking pictures, one of the other parent’s was joking with me because most parents don’t photograph the playground equipment when their child is at the park! This is one of my favorites from that day. It’s my take on what I call the “Brooklyn Bridge” look.

Pensive

I couldn’t resist the lighting and texture in this photo!

Photoshoot with Heather

Heather asked me to take some senior pictures for her this year, so we decided to do a test run last week. We had a lot of fun and I learned that I have to be very careful focusing with my lovely but tricksy 55mm lens. These are a few shots I like.

I found a fantastic tree down the street that i wanted to shoot and on my way I got distracted by the sidewalk display of leaves.
