My New Lens!!!!

collageYes I did it again!!! I just couldn’t resist! I went out and bought the latest and greatest Canon zoom lens!!  I am so excited!  I could not wait to use it and see what it can do!  It’s a great portrait/wedding lens but it’s main use is for landscape and action shots!  What an amazing lens — I could not believe the clarity of the photos, I barely did any editing at all!  I had to share a few of my favorites, this is my sons u11 team.  Although they lost 🙁 the first game of the season they gave the best effort and you can tell by these photos! 105 11261 53 51 42 31 24 22 16 8 62 123 121 118132 104 98 93 89 85 81 80 68 66

 

Some Studio time

220a

I finally had time to post  more photos from this shoot.  I have been so busy that I am falling behind a little on my blog.  But its a good busy!  These two lovely ladies photo-shoot was so much fun, and so easy.  They were both so photogenic, and willing to try anything.  We got some amazing images!  Yes Liz and Marie are twins and at first glance hard to tell apart, but once you get to know them it becomes easier.  However I noticed how different they look in their photographs. Strange in person they look so much more alike.  🙂

Fashion/Head/Glamour Shots all in One!

I met these two beautiful ladies through my husbands job On the Artie Lange show from DirecTV, you might know them as well from a certain reality show a few years back.  but I won’t mention their names just yet.  They were looking for some head-shots to change up there portfolios, and website.  We ended up having so much fun together that it went from head-shots, to Glamour shots to fashion shots!  We spent an afternoon in my new studio with different backgrounds, and lighting setups. We ended up with many, many images for them to use.  They are both so photogenic! Here is just a sample of the fun we had…qqqqqq1qqqqqqqq Many more images to come…

Photoshop

Ok so everyone knows about Photoshop and the amazing transformations that can be done to photos. I shoot all my photos in RAW run them  through light-room first and then finish them in Photoshop.   It’s a long process but well worth it when you can turn a good photo into something amazing.  I was looking through some old photos that I had of my boys and I came across this one- a close-up of my sons face.  Although it looked great after doing a few touch-ups I decided  try something different with it.  I LOVE this result…It is warm and bright and a bit faded everywhere but his eyes. Making his eyes the focal point of this photo.  His eyes look as if they are trying to talk to you….don’t they?  aa

Beautiful House

Another house I did this past weekend in Stratford near the beach. qaaaqqqqqqqqqqqq aaaassaaaaaaaa

-More Real Estate photos-

Ok so lets start by saying I never thought I would take Real estate photos. It’s not something I set out to do, but the opportunity arose and of course I jumped at it, anything in order to use my camera!!!  but I have to admit I enjoy it!  I get to meet some really great people, look through some truly beautiful houses, and get to use some of my wide angle  lenses that sort of sit around waiting to be used.  Here is just a few of the home I shot last weekend in Stratford.houses

-LOVE-

OK, OK so here they are, well not ALL of them not even close to all of them.  But enough to show exactly how much fun I had with this adorable baby and wonderful family.  Every picture was better then the one before.  I had no idea which one’s to post.  She is only 2 weeks old in these photos.  I can’t wait to take more photos of her when she turns 3 months!! 57116 1311461391622 3225425455 63 65 9 10021109–Isn’t she just a little angel?????—
