Wedding!

Today I'm recovering from the fabulous time I had yesterday at the wedding of one of my best friends. She was blessed with gorgeous weather! I was in the bridal party so I didn't have much of an opportunity to take pictures of my own, but I did manage to sneak a few in. Here are some of my favorites of the extremely well-behaved and cooperative flower girl and ring bearer.

Brief Update

Hello all! I have had quite a busy weekend! I wanted to pop online and let you all know that the gallery opening at One Yoga Center went well, and I had a lot of fun. Unfortunately I did NOT remember my camera (ironic, no?), so I don't actually have any pictures of the event to share, but I plan on taking photos of the setup before taking it down on May 25th.

I will also give you a more in-depth recap later this week, but at the moment my exciting week has caught up with me and I'm at risk of falling asleep at the keyboard.

On that note, I bid you adieu!

Maternity Photos

Today I was honored to do my first ever maternity photo portraits. Pregnant women really do glow, and the expectant mother I photographed today was no exception. It was a lot of fun to play around with different lighting, techniques, and outfits, and the couple could not have been easier to work with. They were great!

Here are two of my favorites from today:



Enjoy! Tomorrow I'll be hosting the opening for my One Yoga Center show. Feel free to stop by between 6 and 9pm, or check back next week for news on how it went!

Springtime

The weather in New England has been very strange this year. The winter was unnervingly warm, and so far this spring has been quite cool. Spring has started, however, and it's refreshing to see the sprouting flowers and to hear the spring peepers singing. I'm definitely ready for spring. My interest in the geometric and stark scenes of winter has waned, and I'm looking forward to the organic and vibrant photographic subjects to be found in the months ahead. Seasons are nice like that, just when you're starting to get bored with them, they change.

I'm also excited about trying out my new infrared filter some more. I did manage a few shots during the winter, but green things were hard to come by. There are other dramatic effects you can get with an infrared filter besides altering how growing things look, but since I'm just starting out I want to begin with the basics. For a rough example, here's a shot I took this winter using the infrared filter:



You can see how the green looks white and the blue sky looks much darker than "normal". It's a fun tool. I'm looking forward to getting some more experience with it, and hopefully coming up with some really interesting shots!

In the meantime, I'm keeping myself busy getting ready for my upcoming exhibit at One Yoga Center! Hope to see many of you there!
