Joy of Luck: Day 2

~green~

the theme for today was “green”. i  had this idea for several days that i wanted to take a picture of the new plants coming up. so here is the beginning of the flowers (yes, i know there are already purple flowers, but i think they add to the picture)

sister photoshoot :)

these are some pictures from a few weeks ago. they’re of my sister who was a very willing model. she had just dyed her hair a very bright pink. and i loved the way the light was coming in through the living room window and reflecting/lighting up her hair. we also experimented with putting a bright blue scarf / dupatta which i brought her from india several years ago.

i have one more series of her with the scarf and her hands that i wanted to put up tonight but i needed to tweak them just a teeny bit, will get them up soon! meanwhile, enjoy these

family blog update!

Hey all go check out the family blog… some updated pictures of my dad’s birthday (and pictures of the kids of course )

Katherine’s Shoes

i’ve decided photo-editing is not one of my favorite things to do… its ok, it can make pictures better (sometimes) and it can definitely make them more interesting, i just don’t care for the amount of time it takes.

this picture was taken at my grandparent’s house in south carolina in my grandpa’s work area. taken in november of 2010.

Joy of Love: Day 22

~portrait~

portrait of my daughter katherine… its from right when she woke up so, she has a little bed-head… she had also found a piece of bread that she had left under the highchair the night before so she was enjoying nibbling on that too.

Joy of Love: Day 16

~together (self portrait)~

ok, so this isn’t strictly a portrait… but it is me and my daughter together. i hand-held the camera out in front/ahead of us, we were playing on the couch together, and she was loving it (well so was i)

Joy of Love: Day 15

~kiss~

there were so many ideas i had for this assignment… however, i’ve only gotten around to doing one of them.

i put the camera on a tripod and used a remote control to trigger the shutter.

this is me and my son john.

Joy of Love: Day 14

~wedding band/jewelry~
