The Principal's Office

I have always remembered how to spell principal (vs. principle) because the principal is your "pal". :) I recently took family pictures of the principals family. Pam and I work together on the leadership team for the mom's group that I attend and her husband is the principal for a local school.
Their kids were so sweet and ready to pose for pictures. Their littlest one wanted to see the picture after we took each one...he is just too cute!

Night Photos

These were taken from my front porch and driveway. This is my first real attempt at night photography and I really like how the sky turned out. The moon is just a thumbnail moon tonight, but looks full. The tree is illuminated by the lights on our front porch.

Sweet "P" Family

Some of my good friends let me take some family portraits this weekend. Their daughter is so funny. She has the biggest, brownest eyes and is absolutely adorable. I don't feel like I know her all that well, she is only 1 afterall. But take a look at these pictures and I think her personality is captured here. (Beth, tell me if I am wrong...)

I absolutely love how the picture in front of the holly (above) turned out so "Christmas'y'"

Just click on the pictures to see them big.

The one above just absolutely cracks me up. This is what I know of Miss E. Always on the go....her arms are flapping away in excitment!

I love playing with color tones, but can never quite decide which I like the most. The top picture is straight out of the camera color, and the picture below I adjusted using an action called "Creamy Toffee Latte". It makes the colors warmer and adds a softness to the picture.

I said they were going to be hard!

I am just now finishing up with my friend Erin's pictures. I had to interupt her pictures to work on a family session. (Which I just finished up!) I knew her pictures were going to be hard. But yet, in a way they were really easy. Just hard to decide which pictures to keep and which to throw out. So, here are a few more of my final favorites.

I couldn't decide which collage I liked better, so I put them both on. And...this is exactly how I know Erin. Always laughing and full of fun! I love that!

The picture below is one of my favorites...minus the shadow from a branch. I didn't notice that til I got home! Oh well...

I got some more pictures finished and wanted to post a few more for you. Again, I had a good time with your family. Sorry I left my tripod there! Oops!
