Week 2 of Beautiful People

Week 2 of the course covers " Boutique Babes "
Easier said than done with a 5½ month baby that doesn't sit up yet ! Not much of a choice for poses really in a situation like that.Having said that Sophie was in a very happy mood this morning, she usually is though so there was no problem there.
Although the assignment was for babies, some people don't have suitable models to use so we were allowed to use older children. I attempted a few on Sunday, in the 90deg heat with two girls desperate to get to the water slide that Daddy had put up in the garden - so they had no time for Nanny and her camera !!!
Can't decide which ones to leave out so apologies for such a photo heavy post :)

Portraiture 2010 Week 2

This weeks assignment was groups with particular thoughts going into posture/positioning.
I wasn't too sure that I was going to be able to take any photos this week as all my " models" were busy. I was saved at the last minute though when Nick my son in law said he would pop up with the girls on the Thursday morning.....plenty of time we just had to upload the images before midninght on Thursday night. Nothing like leaving something to the last minute !!!

These are the three images I submitted.





Having taken the shots I wanted, Emily then wanted one on her own so I very quickly took this one of her.

Must keep up to date !

I really must get to grips with this photography blog as well as my craft blog but where can I buy more time? LOL

My eldest grand-daughter was a bridesmaid recently for her Godmother who also happens to be her mother's( my youngest daughter) best friend. I gave my daughter a rough idea of what kind of photos I wanted her to take so that I could scrap a few of them. Not many turned up with the spec I gave her but hey ho I have to get on with what I've got !
My grandaughter & the little pageboy ( who was the bride's Godson)were the only children at the wedding. His mum took the last image, which I just love for some reason, they look so sweet bless them walking away into the distance. They were walking back to the car to be taken home while their parents were staying for the evening celebrations.
The rest of the images are some that my daughter took with her little point & shoot.I converted the first image to black & white in photoshop......you'll get the message quite quickly that I love black & white images.
