The last family session I did included a wardrobe change involving the family’s favorite baseball attire.  Brilliant?  I thought so—I love brilliant clients!  These are some of the fun images we captured.  It seemed like the kids had fun playing and posing out on the baseball field and fun is always my number one priority! 

 

Love this one of big brother helping little brother:

Cheering on the Minnesota Twins!  What enthusiastic fans!

A few pictures from a recent photo session.  There are more to come, but I just had to share these first!

I love all the facial expressions in this one! 

My husband is a willing practice model for me, so here are some shots on the new camera.  A good camera and a good lens really make photography a lot of FUN!  I spent more time figuring out locations and angles than wondering if my camera could handle the lighting or the speed at which I was snapping.  Can you tell I’m in love?  (With both the hubby AND the new camera…)

 

And by that, I mean a NEW CAMERA!  We are up and running with the Canon 7D.  A huge leap for me considering that I’ve been using a Canon 10D for the last 4 years.  I’ve got a lot to learn on this new one, but am blown away by the quality.  I did some comparison pictures between my old camera and the new.  I kept the settings the same for these first pictures.  My ISO was at 1600 (the highest ISO available on the 10D), f1.4 and 1/250 sec.  (I did no editing on these pictures.)

The 10D is first:

The next two pictures were done with the lights off.  Again, on the 10D, the ISO was at 1600 (as high as it would go) and the aperture and shutter speed stayed the same as the above pictures. 

On the 7D, I increased the ISO to 6400 (is that even possible?!!!!) and kept the other settings the same.  Again, no editing on any of these pictures.  Are you as amazed at the difference as I am?!  I’m excited to see what’s next with this camera!

Well, first things first, I have to upgrade my Photoshop.  It turns out that CS3 won’t support the RAW images from the 7D.  Blah…so I guess a new camera means a lot of new “investments”!
