Photo Story Friday: Philo Apple Farm

Hosted by Cecily and Lolli  

I had the great pleasure of shooting a maternity session for a friend on Wednesday. We decided to take a trip to the Philo Apple Farm in Philo,California.  God smiled on us with a beautiful sunny fall day. The colors were unimaginable.  I won’t describe them, I’ll let you see for yourself. Here are my favorite shots from our excursion. Please click on the View Full Album link to see all the photos.

I had the privilege of photographing three beautiful young ladies this week. Here are a couple from our shoot.

I also have been busily editing wedding photos. more on that in another post.

{Love that Shot} Faces

I found a new link-up that I want to start participating in. Love your Shot Link-Up is a blog hop that allows photographers to share their photos. The link-up is live every Thursday and runs until Monday.  Ordinarily there is no theme, but occasionally there is a guest judge and theme. This weeks theme is “Show Us Your Favorite Faces” and guess who is guest judging?!? You guessed it I Heart Faces!

So today, I’m sharing a photo that I took during a family session this week.  This little cutie stole my heart, and I’m sure she will steal yours too!

This photo was taken with my Nikon D90 at a focal length of 40 mm, F4.2, shutter speed 1/1500, and ISO 320 in raw format. I recently starting shoot with back button focus. It has helped my photography immensely. It helps me keep the focus on my clients face and be able to recompose. I recommend finding out how to do this on your camera.

Seriously head over to Love Your Shot and participate this week. Angie and Amy would be most grateful!

I have been a very busy photographer the last few days. As some of you already know, I am in the process of building a portfolio in hopes of opening a legitimate photo business soon.

I am looking forward to shooting my very first wedding this coming Saturday. I put together a Facebook business page and the same day it was up, a very nice couple called and asked what my wedding pricing was. I was not even going to venture into the wedding realm until I had done some Child, Family, and Maternity sessions, but I guess we should just jump in with both feet right?

Allow me to share a few from a recent (portfolio building) family session.

 

 

The M Family was a lot of fun to photograph. The kids are beautiful. Mom and Dad are amazing. Just a good wholesome family. Thanks guys for a great session!
