Recent Shots!

Okay, I have only been using Flickr for over a year now, but since my surrogacy blog is up and running I figured I may as well update here too!  I am now shooting with a Canon 40D and in my bag I carry a promaster 7500 speedlite, 50mm 1.4, 75-300mm, 17-50mm, and 60mm Macro.

Heart Bokeh

I learned how to make the Bokeh (blurred background) into the shape of hearts! I am practicing for upcoming Valentines Day shoots! What do you think? The first one isnt a heart shaped, but he was to cute not to add it! ;) Stay tuned for Star Bokeh!! YAY!

We took the boys on the polar express! They loved it. I think they liked it the most of anything fun we have donw with them! Please dont mind the terrible photos, the lighting was non-exsistant and I had to bounce my speelite to even get proper exposure! Enjoy!!

























































































































Lucas' First snow!

This was the first snowfall Lucas was actually old enough to play in! He loved it and we had a fantastic time!!!
























































BOKEH

Copied from Wikipedia:

In photography, bokeh is the blur,[1][2] or the aesthetic quality of the blur,[3][4][5] in out-of-focus areas of an image, or "the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light."[6] Differences in lens aberrations and aperture shape cause some lens designs to blur the image in a way that is pleasing to the eye, while others produce blurring that is unpleasant or distracting— "good" or "bad" bokeh, respectively.[1] Bokeh occurs for parts of the scene that lie outside the depth of field. Photographers sometimes deliberately use a shallow focus technique to create images with prominent out-of-focus regions.
Bokeh is often most visible around small background highlights, such as specular reflections and light sources, which is why it often associated with such areas.[1] However, bokeh is not limited to highlights, as blur occurs in all out-of-focus regions of the image.

Baby Colton

I went to photograph baby Colton today! He was an angel for me! He slept almost the entire session, had a small milk break and was back asleep for us! Thanks Lauren for allowing me to capture these memories for you!
