Mommy and Son Outings: Our Favorite Park

Flower Macro Photography

Photo Friday--Macro Lens

There are only two more Fridays left in the school year until summer break. . .I am so ready! Caden and I are planning on spending most of the summer in our favorite park wearing off two-year-old boy energy.  Here are a few photos I took today in the park.  It was the first time I had time to play with the macro lens on my own; thus far, I have only helped students in the classroom studio with their own photographs.  I love the macro lens! At first, it was difficult to focus, but became easier as I practiced.  I will post more photos throughout the week.  As always, critiques are welcomed and encouraged.

Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!
 

Field Trip Photos

Here are a few photos I took at Aaron Reed and Zeb Andrews' workshop.  I fell in love with Portland.  There are SO many things to photograph; I want to go back this summer. . .12 more school days until summer! Please feel free to critique.

Sweet Shot Saturday

Today, I took my Advanced Digital Photography students to Portland to attend a workshop hosted by Aaron Reed (http://www.aaronreedphotography.com/c/aaronreedphotography) and Zeb Andrews (http://zebandrewsphotography.com/).  If you enjoy photography, I definitely recommend attending one of their workshops--they did an AWESOME job with my students.

This is one of my favorite shots from the field trip.  I took it in the first 15 minutes or so of our field trip.  After I took this shot, I said I was "done for the day" because I knew I probably would not take too many more shots that I loved more than this.  I will post more photos from the field trip throughout the week.

Critiques are always welcomed and encouraged.

Photo Friday--One Day Early!

On Saturday, I am taking my advanced digital photography students to Portland for a workshop hosted by Aaron Reed (http://www.aaronreedphotography,com.) and Zeb Andrews (http://zebandrewsphotography.com) (I can not wait--I am so excited!).  Therefore, tomorrow night, I will probably be getting ready for the field trip so I decided to post Photo Friday early.

For this week's photo, I chose a photo from my prom shoot.  Overall, I really like this photo.  I especially like that the focal point is the male's corsage.  The only thing that really bothers me is that I would like to see the rest of the tie; I wish I would not have cut it off.  Critiques are always welcomed and encouraged.


I hope that next week I have an awesome photo from our Portland field trip!

Photo Friday

This weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot two photo shoots.  The first photo shoot was for a friend's daughter who needed a photo for an upcoming pageant.  The second photo shoot was for a friend's daughter's senior prom.  Here are a few of my favorite photos from those shoots.  As always, critiques are welcomed and encouraged.
