June Favorite

I'm playing along with Click It Up a Notch's June favorites. I took my June favorite at an evening beach bonfire with my daughter's 5th grade class. There was such a feeling of togetherness with the children and all the families. I just happened to look up and saw this photo unfolding. Because the light was so wonderful all my settings were just right to capture this moment of friendship.

This month I feel like I really "Clicked it up a Notch!" I took two workshops. First was Emma Wood's breakout session from Clickin Moms and the second was an in person, weekend-long Loupe Photography Workshop by the incredible Kristianne Koch (www.kristiannekochphotography.com).  After both workshops I was better able to see the light and my composition improved. One evening, I was standing folding laundry and my littlest daughter walked in. She was wearing a dress-up and stood in the most amazing golden light. I saw the opportunity and seized it. This was the resulting photo of my "Tiniest Dancer."

 This was a second photo that I just couldn't resist posting as a companion photo.

April Favorite

This month was not my most inspired. Not only were we busy with Easter and Spring Break, but also I got the stomach flu that knocked me out for several days. The photo I'm picking for my favorite is imperfectly perfect. I took my daughter to the beach to play; she played in the sand and I played with my camera. For some pictures she was willing, for others she was not. This photo captured her unwillingness. It was shadowy and a bit grainy so I processed it with clickin mom's film preset Nickel. While I loved the color version because of the beautiful beach colors, I prefer the black and white because it focuses on her face and her crazy striped outfit. The whole photo seems timeless to me. It almost could have been a photo taken in my grandparents' time.
