Week 30: Fizzy Fruit

Tried a fun little experiment with some fruit and off-camera flash. Trouble is I didn't account for the condensation in the heat. I kept having to wipe down the vase I was using to avoid foggy photos.


And a little drop in just for fun. I may try this again when it's not 75% humidity.

Week 29: Garden Tour

Oh this is gonna be a long post friends. Yesterday I had the pleasure of going on the Kenmore garden walk. It's an event held every year in my town where people put their gardens on display for the public. I only visited about 6 different houses, but they had some gorgeous flowers. Here's a bunch...and forgive me but I don't know most of the names. The one above is a passion flower and it smelled as great as it looked.

Up close and personal with a lily




Not the best photo but this flower was seriously as big as my head



Next week is the Buffalo walk. I'll have to see if I can make that one. Hopefully it's not 90 degrees again!

Week 28: Vintage Owen

My favorite little guy had his second birthday party last weekend. He was anxiously awaiting the train at the station when I snapped this shot of him. He looked so old-fashioned so I thought it was a good vintage black and white photo. We had such a great time!

Week 27: Falling Waters

Yes I know I'm late posting, but we were out of town last week. So catching up-here's my shot. We were visiting our parents in Horseheads last week and I really wanted to try some waterfall shots. There's a great little park on the way to Watkins Glen called Havana Glen that has some really pretty waterfalls. I took my tripod and tried some long exposure shots to give them that "painting" look.

Week 26: Baby Belly

Earlier this week I did a maternity shoot for my friend and coworker Collene. She is due at the end of August with her first baby. She wanted to do the shoot as a surprise to her husband so we snuck off one night after work and took some pictures at a local park and my house. She also wanted to include her adorable dog Joey in the fun. It was my first maternity and pet shoot at the same time, but I think we got some good photos out of it.
