2009 Senior Rachel

On Thursday I got to photograph Rachel's senior portraits. We just did the indoor session and there are SO many that turned out great. I let Erin be my "DeeAyna for a day" and she got to pick out the 5 she found "worthy" of the blog. To see the rest of Rachel's in-door session, visit the website www.jwphotographystudio.com. She is the featured senior.

More fun with my macro.....

This is just a few more of many, many more images I took with my macro lens...It is so much fun and I'm sure I'll have many more posts coming in the future with it......Whheeeee....If you are a photographer and don't have a macro lens, GET ONE!!!

I am still deathly afraid of spiders, but I must say I am getting braver....This spider moved a couple seconds after I photographed it and I ran screaming brushing off my clothes....Eventually, I think, I will be able to photograph one WITHOUT running....   :)     (By the way, clicking on the image enlarges it and gives a more detailed photograph).

This is the crack between the sections in my Auntie's patio....I laid here for quite awhile photographing the different angles. Something about this area definitely draws me into it. Awesome!

Hunter and Zoey!

Last weekend I went to Eastern Washington and got to photograph Hunter and Zoey. It was really fun. These kids had the greatest expressions (as you can see below) and these are just a few of my favorites from their session.

This image is funny to me. Hunter told me his eyes were very sensitive to the light. So, I told him we would play a little game and I would count to three and when I said "three" to open his eyes really quickly and I would snap the picture. Well, Zoey had fun with that, but Hunter apparently didn't want to risk damaging his eyes! :)

GO SEAHAWKS!! 

Fun with my MACRO!!

Wheeeeeeeee.......That's all there is to say about this....   :)

Mandy & Erik

Erik was to leave in a week to go back to Iraq and they decided it would be a good time to get photos taken. I had the privilege of taking them. We took some right at her job site and then we headed to Kirkland to finish them up by the water. Here are a few from that session.

This is too cute......I love feet shots and the puppy paws definitely adds to this one... :)

At the very end it was completely dark out and we thought it would be fun to try some under the bright bulbs on this building. I like the way it turned out...Very cool....

Ethan is so stinkin' cute!!

This session with Ethan was great! His personality is evident in his eyes. He even deigned to show us glimpses of his other moods through his listening skills. You couldn't ask for a better subject or little friend.  

How expressive his expression is here. I love the contrast between the fence color and his face. Also the pop of green in his jacket.

I love the juxtaposition of the crispness of his face and the blurred out containers on either side of him. It pulls your eye right into his eye while giving interest and color pops in this shot.

Jodi so captured the emotion Ethan was feeling in this shot. The garage door was going up and his littler sister saw the bikes first. She said WHOOAAA! Then as the door continued up Ethan caught site of the bikes and exclaimed DUDE!! He looks like one of the guys here; discussing the intricacies of this bike.

Breaking Barriers

Yes, it's true. I saw a spider and I did not run! (Ok, maybe I did when I was done).
