many faces of hut and other things
We are working on flash photography. Hut seems to be the logical subject of choice.
How can something so cute and furry also harbor so many expressions of boredom and disdain (for the ever improving photographers he lives with)? I'm sure we'll have more images like these to come ...riding and taking it easy
More people (cute little girls, no less) to photograph at the ranch!
Another sunny day at the ranch. These girls took to the lake and also tried out a bit of horseback riding. These two are brave girls!
Guess who is photographing, too!!?! Grant is! And he's going to show me up in about 2.5 weeks. I'm excited to see the much more wonderful things to come from his encouragement and competition.
The girls were cautious around the horse (which is really wonderful for everyone involved) so we brushed, saddled, rode & photoed in a laid back way. You can see them warm up to the "riding a horse" concept. They go from complete skepticism to chilling out - so fun!
personal goal: Document play and stay out of the way. Help Grant get comfortable using the camera to tell a story.
photo friends!
The Katie:
I'm visiting an old friend (we go way back; she's young) in Colorado for very serious photography work.
Here's the scene in Rocky Mountain National Park - one side of the vista was stormy and the other sunny. Both beautiful.
Check out Katie Jenkins Photography - she's amazing!
The Pack:
And I had a fun meeting last week with some wicked smart Houston girls: Julie Wilhite and Margaret Lee. We talked about photographing and fit some fun hangout time in, too.
Julie has a detailed blog post here with many more of her wonderful photos.
This is me in the foreground (acting serious) and Margaret in the background, also serious. Julie is the photographer (go figure).
people at the ranch
When I can squeeze them in, I photograph people, too!
This day was beautiful - cool (for Texas in May) and sunny. The girls capitalized on some water sports and berry picking. It's hard to be a kid!
personal goal: Record major events of the day as the family relaxes; all "playing", little "posing". Photographs of small moments as they relate to the whole story.
new horse
This weekend we added a new horse to the bunch. There is a pecking order of "top dog" all the way down to the lowest on the totem pole. If you ever wonder what the order is, just watch the group at feeding time; they neatly arrange themselves in order of importance.
Anyways, adding a new horse shakes up the establishment. So before he's added to the herd, they're really interested. And after he's added to the herd they're really active. It makes for fun shooting!
So, the slender little buckskin is new. And he's cute.
spring + flowers
It's really difficult to photograph spring ... so I settled on photographing flowers! These guys are glad to still be around. My main gardening feats have been excavating our home from the old fashioned landscape.
personal goal: work with the cloudy morning and rain drops so that I can remember these wonderful colors.ummm ... thanks?
I'm just wondering, was one of these once my shipping invoice?
sisters
A special treat! Three (of four) sisters, their mom and each of their kiddos had a play-day and I was invited to tag along. One of the sisters and her son live out of the country; it's so fun to have a record of the girls and the kids getting together, since it's not an incredibly common occurrence.
This solo toddler has it made, don't you think? All the ladies' attention!
personal goal: Capture each little family group, a lot of interaction among the whole family, and to do a lot more "playing" than "posing". Photographs made of individuals as they relate to the whole story.
window of opportunity
Have you ever tried to keep four (really young) kiddos happy and busy at the same time? These parents have their work cut out for them!
These are excerpts from the twin's photograph session, including some extra family members.
What a great time with this sweet family!
personal goal: Capture a bunch of expressions, have individual portraits of the twins as well as some "overlap" portraits. I wasn't going in there with the plan to capture both of them smiling at the same time, but to record their current expressions and abilities (crawling vs. creeping).winter wonderland
Again, don't be jealous of the huge snowdrifts and sub-zero temperatures. These are photographs of horses waiting to get into a larger pasture and relaxing once they are let out. It's early January and about 65 degrees outside. I don't know why (well, sometimes it does get really cold) but a few of these guys have their winter coats.
I took these photographs to document their (four geldings and two mares) personalities while the warm light from the setting sun looked on.
