These 10 yr old girls are sisters and twins! I had so much fun with them, and we met at my favorite location, my neighborhood! |

Late Summer Session 2010
Fall Session in Washington Historic Park in Pa.
This shot is grainy since I was running out of daylight. So my ISO was up to about 400.

This is my 3rd time photographing This lovely little 7yr old. I traveled up north for this session, and was able to visit a lot of family all in one short weekend. Driving is a good 8 hrs so I don't make that journey very often, maybe 2 to 3x per year. I am planning a trip for Easter to see my family in Delran NJ ( I'm from Pa) and maybe I will do up to 3 sessions while I visit. |

Christmas Portrait Fun!
I had my heart set on doing a Christmas photo session with my daughter today. We only did this one dress because it was about 43 degrees and she was freezing!
We arrived at our location too early so the light was a bit too bright to capture what I wanted. The tone on the skin is too yellow and you can't photograph eyes as well in the blaring sun.
We did not have much time to wait for better lighting since she was so cold. I had an idea to take some of our Christmas ornaments and hang them in the trees as a backdrop. I love how it came out! But next time we will do our Christmas pics in 60 degree weather so it is more relaxing. So I will keep some Christmas balls out all year just to re do this session in better weather. Our regular temp is actually 57 at this time!

The dress she is wearing is $19.99 from target, I thought it would look richer in a photo, but I think I was wrong. The hat is from Nordstroms, love the white fur!.

My Entry to Win as a tester for Florabella textures!
 | ||||
| "My Secret Ocean" My recipe for this image Florabella Luxe Action: Ambrosia + Sweet Sunshine Texture: Mai Tai I love Florabella Actions and textures so much. I use them exclusively, and know that my work looks more beautiful and interesting since I started to use them. These actions take my photography to new heights and gives my images a romantic vintage timeless quality that I would not be able to achieve other wise. I am so grateful to Shana for giving me such an amazing gift! I have only been taking pictures for a 1 year professionally and I only shoot with a 50mm 1.8 and a Canon Rebel, unless I do a wedding then I rent the must have lenses. If I were to advise a new photographer what to buy I would say, get the 50mm 1.8 + Canon Rebel xs and most importantly buy Florabella Actions and Textures to set your self apart and give you a professional edge! Florabella is the best investment I have ever made. I started out with all the freebies you can get on line, but I must say in all honesty Florabella Actions are soooo much better. That is why I bought the Vintage Actions, Vintage Spring Actions, Luxe Actions and a set of gorgeous textures! You can never have enough and Shana's Actions just get better and better! The Luxe Action set is now my new favorite! http://www.florabellacollection.com |
"Vintage Autumn Bride"
This image is of the first bride I have ever photographed in September 2010!
My Florabella Recipe:
Luxe Action: Pandora
Textures: Vintage Moss + Vintage Autumn
There are sooo many entries to win this contest, but I figured I have nothing to loose and it is my way of sharing Florabella with you and how much Florabella has enhanced my business and how it can do the same for you if you want to start taking pictures! Florabella is also amazing with floral photography! I use Photo Shop Elements 8, and LOVE IT! It is easy to use and since Florabella creates gorgeous actions for PSE users there is never a need for me to upgrade. So I will keep buying Florabella and eventually fill my camera bag with lots of great lenses and an additional camera body. That's all I will ever need.
Wish me luck!
