Cosmo Splender

Exploring the lensbaby - Lensbaby is a specialty lens that allows the photographer to bend the light to create special effects such as this garden scene.  It has a somewhat Monet like feel to it and takes quite a bit of practise to master.  Artistic renderings such as this are best viewed from a distance as it can be quite disturbing trying to focus on detail in an out of focus photo.  The trick is to have sharp focus in one area (the sweet spot) to direct the viewer's eye.  This attached sample is my first serious attempt at working with this specialty lense.

Searching for the light

Class started back this past week and today we spent 6 hours learning how to work with natural light - this shot was taken later in the evening as the sun was setting - back lighting with a silver reflector to bounce the light back onto the subject.  Thank goodness for Trinity - what a trooper - I can always count on her to stand in as my subject on a moment's notice.  Trin - don't ever grow up - you are perfect just the way you are.  Love you.

Just toooooooo cute!

Baby Zoe age 13 days - isn't she a cutie pie....love, love, love this pic.

Wedding Storybook

Check out the video slideshow I prepared to showcase the highlights of Bill & Reit's rainy day outdoor wedding. The weather may not have co-operated, but the pictures turned out great, we were able to capture lots of candids to document the festivities, and everyone had a great time.

Big Things Afoot

Top secret for now but stayed tuned - working on some big changes to the studio.  Very exciting...will let everyone in on the secret when it becomes official.

Max at the beach

Saturday July 2nd - Long Point   One of my favorite places to visit, Long Point on Lake Erie features warm water thanks to the sandbar and a beautiful sandy shoreline - perfect for building sandcastles or taking a romantic evening stroll.  I used to dream about owning a summer cottage on the point, but that was another lifetime ago and simply wasn't meant to be.  Thanks to Jeremy & Becca for taking Max & I on a day trip to the beach and a stroll down memory lane.  Max had so much fun playing in the surf and digging in the sand and I got this amazing picture of my precious little puppy.  Then home to a steak barbeque cooked by none other than Jeremy, my precious little boy...lol...he's rolling his eyes now.  Love ya baby.  What a great long weekend.
