I wish there were more poses for a 4 month old.

Voted for you and Rebecca in the B&W picture contest!

What about getting a bumbo chair or saucer chair to help support LO?

Instead of worrying about poses, just focus on maximizing your angles and point of view.   It's a good way to work on that kind of thing.

Uggghhh.. tonight was a frustrating waste of time. So, I had a TTD that was supposed to be yesterday; but because my bride from today had to indefinitely reschedule; I was going to move it to today because the weather originally said (even yesterday) that today would be sunny and mid 60s. Nope. This morning I wake up and it's saying mid 50s and overcast. But, I don't hear from the couple all day and I assume they're willing to go through with it anyway. Long story short, we get downtown (30 min drive) and it ends up being decided we're going to shoot next Saturday morning since I already have sessions both evenings and I don't have another evening open until it would be too cold anyway. Ugh. Annoying. Smurf like this doesn't ever happen to me. Blah. I'm annoyed.

Oh and the ONLY reason I was open to changing it was that it was a Trash the Dress and she has a strapless dress, of course. Any other session I would not have rescheduled, but I knew she'd be miserable and freezing.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" Ugh, that's the worst. What kind of expectations are you setting up front? Are you explaining why you want to shoot at particular times?"

Yes. I explain I'm building my portfolio and the details

That sucks.   I'm sorry Brandi.

On that note though, I don't know how women do that. haha

I'm sorry. that sounds really frustrating. and cold. It was nice of you to reschedule, though.

What kinds of things do you do for the TTD sessions? are there any on your blog? I love those.

what do you do when your subject is white as a smurfing piece of paper...?



I used a function to make sure the White balance was correct, and it is....I thought he was just 'blown out'...I think its called? But when I used the function it changed NOTHING...this image is apparently true to color...? I've zoomed in a bit in the edited version, and he just looks like a piece of paper.

also, brandi, do you have any recommendation on how I could go about enhancing her jaw line a bit?

Thank you! <3

wear strapless dresses? I'm seriously top heavy, and I've always prefered strapless dresses. They make my boobies look ammaaazing....I do have to constantly readjust though  

Quoting Mrs.Dani:" Thank you! <3"

I'll vote, where is the contest?

I want to take pictures!!!! >.< I'm bored of taking photos of my kids. lol

Quoting Sean & Raylen's Mama:" What about getting a bumbo chair or saucer chair to help support LO?"

I have been thinking about getting a bumbo but I heard that they have been recalled?

I'm 42DDD and I wear strapless stuff all the time, lol. Lane Bryant bras ftw.

I've never tried lane bryant bras...are they really good quality? Do you guys have Somas? That's where I started going after I didn't fit in VS any more
