Week 5 - 52 Week Challenge

This week I focused on low light.  It was a dark, gloomy day and I spotted this precious baby.  The room was dark and the only spot of light was on her.  I knew it was perfect for low light.

Sarah

I was honored to spend the morning with Sarah.  Her grandmother contacted me and wanted to have a shoot with Sarah to surprise Sarah's parents for a Christmas gift.  Sarah was SO easy to work with...and just beautiful too!!!

Week 4 - 52 Week Challenge

This isn't really reflective light...it's more side light.  But, when I caught this very serene face and saw these big baby blues looking back at me through my lens...I KNEW it was my picture for the week! :) 

Week 3 - 52 Week Challenge

More reflected light...love little misses reflection on the floor from the light streaming in from our kitchen window. 

Boren Family

This sweet family means so much to me.  I was beyond humbled and very excited to do their pictures.  Much love, Boren family!!!

Week 2 - 52 Week Challenge

I love the reflected light in this picture.  The light from the window (which makes for an amazing back lit photo) is shining on the white table to perfectly light my sweet Leighton's face.  You can see every little freckle on her!

Week 1 - 52 Week Challenge

In 2014, I challenged myself to shoot a 365 (that's right...365 pictures in a year...one per day).  It grew me, stretched me, and taught me more than I could have ever dreamed.  But, I just didn't have the motivation to do it again.  So, this year, I am doing a 52 week challenge.  One picture a week.  And this year, I will be focusing on light.  Light can make a picture go from great to extraordinary!

Here is week 1.  My "middle" was watching tv after her bath in a dark room.  When I walked in, the only thing in light was face so I thought it was the perfect intro for the year.
