Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
Nice work Carrie!
ReplyDeleteCarrie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing a great job. we had so much fun having you take our picture.
I think I could look at them all day. A few even made me tear up because they were so sweet.
You captured the children so well.
Thanks!
Great candid picture! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteThese are GREAT! Did you do these in YOUR home or elsewhere? If so where do you have it set up?
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind and encouraging comments ladies! It was fun to photograph someone other than my own kids for a change. :)
ReplyDeleteOwen and Staci have the BEST natural light in their condo. I just hung my backdrop in a doorway and sat on their kitchen island for many of the shots. Ginny, the oldest, smiled in every single picture. No matter what was going on around her, her big brown eyes were on me the whole time - a photographers dream!
I use two fleece blankets for backdrops. By taping one to the wall and putting the other on the floor I don't have to worry about anyone stepping back too far and ripping the tape off like I would if I used one big backdrop.
The Christmas picture of the kids that I'll post in a minute was taken in my living room "studio". Again - the blanket taped to the wall and a lamp for extra light. I used a flash, but it still turned out ok.
