aking the first step towards portraits is huge. You would think that it would be as natural as just point, click after years of taking nature pictures. Right?
You don't have to pose mountains, or ask a saguaro to turn just right and look over it's shoulder, you don't have to worry about the light falling just right on a cheekbone. Mother nature makes sure that the light is just the right shade. I am definitely out of my box of comfort during this learning process. Thankfully I have some wonderful models with patience and understanding. And don't complain about the orange tinge upon their faces... yet ;)
My beautiful neice Ashlyn.

It will only be 6 years of waiting if it works. Keep your fingers crossed! *Cheers*
So very absent
I challenge myself to post here more often. I put out our hard earned $$ for this site and here it sits, like a red headed step child most of the time. Forgotten, left behind, neglected. I can use the term red headed step child because my first born has red hair, and I am irish, it gives me the right ;). Not dissin red headed step kids promise!
So, back to why I am here, school semester is near to over, we're in the last few weeks and the end of the road is near. At least for a month then it will be back to the grind.
I have been busy busy, hence my neglect of the site. I could put up all the pics that I have taken since summer, but they definitely fall into the description of Photo101 and lack the beauty, spontaneity and simple life that I am used to exhibiting. I do have a couple to share though, ones that I worked on despite being pressed to finish homework. Sometimes you gotta break the rules right?

Had a bit of fun re-building the guide that I created last year. This one is a bit more detailed and... well... prettier.

"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much"
They make my world go round.
Willow and TK-51 posing for me.
They are my only models who don't complain about always having a camera shoved in their faces >=D

Dana Point with a Twist
A Miami twist that is. Overcast Dana Point with a bit of the '80s sherbet tossed in for color. Where is Don Johnson when you need him?
