Finding the "Catch Light"

I just joined a great photography club and feel so lucky to have this forum where I get together with a bunch of mother's who all have the same interest: taking better pictures (especially of their kids!). We had a wonderful guest speaker last night, local Seattle photographer- Janet Klinger who talked about the importance of "finding the catch light". I had gone over this with Mimi a few weeks ago, but it was great to get more practice! We had the opportunity to shoot a member's darling newborn for practice. Lauren was adorable and a wonderful sport. Today I tried to get Megan in the position where I could find the perfect light- I have posted a few of my attempts.

First Mentoring Session

I had my first mentoring session with the very talented photographer, Mimi Inglin. I am so lucky to get to learn a few things from her. Here are some pictures from our session this last week. Thanks to adorable Henry for being my model!!

4th of July 2009

It is a tradition to spend the 4th of July at my husband's parents home in the San Juan Islands. We are so fortune to be able to have the island to experience the holiday! It is a celebration like non other- filled with bbq's, town parades and the annual baseball game held on a real like "Field of Dreams".
