Susan’s Photo Blog

The orange lollipop was no match for Jubilee.  It kept her entertained for most of Alexis’s soccer practice.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of photographing four beautiful dancers.  We had such fun!  Here are the first four processed shots.  I have a lot more processing to do, but here is a sneak peek.

I have an assignment that requires me to get pictures in soft light and hard light.  I got plenty of hard light pictures a week or so ago when it was bright and sunny.  Today we woke up to very overcast skies, which creates perfect soft light, so I got us all dressed and out the door for a walk around our neighborhood.  Here are just a few shots.  I’m not thrilled with the results, but they are what they are.

Don’t ask me what is going on with the angle in this one.  I just snapped it that way.

This is the last one I got before my battery died.  Of course, right after that happened, things got really adorably cute and lovely.  Jubilee walked over and sat on Alexis’s back and looked right at me as if she was posing for a picture.  Then, they both crawled under a nearby bench and peeked out at me, which would have been yet another adorable shot.  Stupid batteries.  Stupid all-day photoshoot of nautical antiques yesterday that drained my battery.  Okay, okay, it wasn’t the fault of the antiques.  I should have charged my battery when I got home. At any rate, this is probably the one I’ll end up using for my assignment.

I tried to get some pictures of the girls on Mother’s day.  It didn’t work out too well.  Jubilee was definitely not interested.

So, I gave up on that and decided to get some pictures of Alexis by herself since she always wants me to take her picture:

That lasted for about five minutes.  Then she decided she was done and wanted to go play with Jubilee and Nick.

I did manage to get a couple of pictures of Jubilee, although none of her looking at me.  Oh well. She’s cute anyway.

One last one of Alexis.  She picked the flowers herself.
