Identical Twins

I do not have very many pictures of my "Ladies" where they look Identical, but this shot captured it well. They are what is classified as "Identical mirror twins" which makes them rare and unique, but then again they are already that without their classification...I love you Ladies!

I really like this picture of them together, even though they are in harsh lighting, the squinting of their eyes, and the softness look on their faces is so captivating.

Left Over Treasure

These pictures are some nice leftover shots I took of my family while shooting for my group assignments. I love Daishae's letter "K" picture. It kind of sucks being the photographer sometimes because I'm not able to be in the pictures, and I am a Ham, please believe! But it's always nice to look at my work, that' s the most rewarding part of it all.

Group Portraits

This assignment was fun even though I had to re-shoot. It was really nice to get some pictures of my husband with the children, even though we left out the baby. We caught the last twenty-five minutes of sunlight, which worried me a little, but all went well....thanks to the great teachings of my awesome professor.

fun shots

The children are so goofey sometimes, so you have to catch those crazy, fun shots as much as you can, and post them of course!

Miss Cali

Cali is such a HAM in front of the camera, when she's by herself that is! These are some of the pictures I took of her at the park when I was trying to take those portrait photos of my group. She'll look at me when it's just her, but I had the hardest time getting her to look at me when everybody else was posing for the shot :-) I love my HAM little though!

Assignment #3 first shoot

For this assignment, we were to show negative space, shoot through objects, show layers and show leading lines. This was my first session with Tiera as my model. When I turned in the assignment my professor gave it back to me that same day telling me he'd give me a B+ instead of a C+ if I shot it again, and I did, I just wanted to display both, so one twin doesn't think she's any better or less than the other because it was my fault (the photographer) not the model's fault>>>They're equally beautiful!

Assignment #3 second session

These are some of the pictures I took for the same assignment, but this was my re-shoot at a different location, on a different day using the other twin...I posted them both, so everyone could see if there was any noticeable improvement made.

portraits assignment

I had this assignment to shoot four or more people in natural light for portraits, so I chose my kids; however, it was all bad! We went to the park, I had some composition ideas for the children to poses as, but either I could not get them to ALL look at me at the same time (mainly the baby), my lighting was not right, or it just did not come out how I imagined it in my creative head. These are just some decent ones I wanted to post just for fun. Out of 157 shots I did not get ONE I thought would be "turn in material". So I have to re-shoot, but here are my kids>>>> Gotta love 'um!
