I want... from editing

This week was the first week I have been back from California. My house is a mess and I have more Laundry to do then the Duggars. (ok maybe not that much) Every night I relax by editing and watching netflix. Which I have been enjoying as of late because I have figured out what I actually what each photo should look like. for a few years now I was always editing with muted tons and soft finishes, I slowly realized that muted tones and soft finished just weren't who I was. I am a loud, obnoxious, colorful and vibrant person. mind you these are describing words from my loving husband.  So with that description and a goal in hand I set off to figure out what I wanted and I discovered what I was missing. My Family... Not just Husband and Bug but my brother and sisters along with there kids and of course my parents. being around that kids of atmosphere made me Shine and with that I can now express how I feel in the inside outwardly through the photos.  

This is what I got.  

Cheerful, Loud, Vibrant and Color..

It's Fun and I LOVE it.

Walkabout

While I was outside enjoying the nice weather yesterday I thought it would be neat if I took a few pictures of my parents place. I will be the first to admit that still life photography is not an easy thing for me to do. People have personality and you have to create personality with still life for it to speak out. This is my first real attempt at still life for quite sometime. Personally I think I did ok.

Most of these photos are straight from the camera, no cropping or color enhancing. the two that I did fix were the Frog and also the Dog.

This is Chewy... my brother's dog and also my assistant for the afternoon

oh my goodness..

is one of bug's favorite phrases.

Lately I have been working incredibly long hours. I'm talking over 60hr weeks with craptastic hours. To make myself feel better and with the permission of my darling husband I bought myself 2 presents. One being a studio light and two a portrait lens(this is my second set of these items just not specifically these items). 

I've had these things for over a week and wasn't able to use them because of the rain. 

Silly excuse I know but the studio I use was ALL the WAY in the BACK yard and it was raining most of the time. Yesterday was the day. I took my light, lens, camera and everything else including one grumpy child that didn't want to have anything to do with me. After an hour battle and only 2 cookies later I got a handful of pictures. The light works wonders and I am excited for this weekend to try more wiggle worms out. 

She had , had enough by this point and it was just the begining.

Check out Liam

He's cute and he knows it. If you head over to my That's Me Photo blog you can check out more of his cuteness. http://www.photosbynemiha.blogspot.com/ or you can click on the link.

I will be in California until the beginning of May. My wonderful Parents have transformed the grandkids playhouse for me to set up a studio in. I would like to fill a few more photo spots before I go.  Currently I have 6 WeekDAY spots available and 2 WeekEND spots.

As for May I will start booking children & family shoots in UTAH in approx 2 weeks.
