Keepin' it Real

Let's talk about this phenomenal workshop I was fortunate enough to help with: "Keepin' it' Real." On the last day of the workshop, we get a chance to beef up our portfolio. These are some of the pictures that I was able to take of such amazing children. There were many more, but I only wanted to show a few. Here they are - so deal with it!



These two girls are so cute! I've had the opportunity to babysit for the older one. Only once, so I'm not sure that says much about my skills. Hopefully, my photography skills are much better and I will get to shoot them again. By the way, the oldest gave the photographers the "what for" and I loved it. I could only get these shots once she was bribed with chips. Stay strong, sista!

Gorgeous! I loved shooting this chica. I could have sworn she has been watching America's Next Top Model. She definitely knew how to find the light. Before posting this I sent it to my "mentor", she told me that my focus was set on the fence and not the eyes. I wanted to post it anyways because this journal is all about what I am learning. I am now learning to use my selective focal points. Plus, I wanted you all to know that I am always learning how to take better pics. Thanks for all the tips - you know who you are.

Wally and the Beave! I love, love, love these boys. They too know how to pose. This is one of the shots that I'm most proud of. It was hard to get the shot just right because one is really fair and the other is more olive. But, I think I did it! Thanks for being such great models.

Just FYI, I cannot wait until October - next workshop! For more info, check out http://www.willettedesigns.com/

Haven't left you with any good music lately! So here you go: Postal Service "This place is a Prison."
