coggshall farm

Some photos of our adventures today. Everyone told me not to get so close, that the sheep looked mad but I got close and I'm glad I did.. Mostly portraits of kids and lambs.

Bonnie

It was such a beautiful day we went to coggshall farm with the baby & friends and to the park. Bonnie came over later and I began to do her makeup. I realised we had lost alot of light so we ran out and tried to get what we could. We went over to some flourescent lighting outside the building and I ended up liking the warming effect the portraits began to have. In some i felt she looked like a golden goddess. Bonnie was so photogenic it made my job easier.

Caitlin

So my friend Heidi finally came over after a year of not seeing eachother and we didn't skip a beat. I missed her bunches. We chatted then we got creative. I wanted to do her makeup and photograph her for my website. She came over with her puppy Ada who is absolutely adorable, Izzy loved her. anyways these are the photos

85mm 1:8 lens at Botanical Gardens

We took a trip to the botanical gardens at Roger Williams park zoo it was beautiful and warm in there. I especially loved the carnivorous plants. Isabella was my subject to check out my new 85mm 1:8 lens. I love the lens and I love how the photos of my beautiful daughter came out. Not to toot my own horn but she is a great subject.
Please enjoy

I had a great interview today with the lovely ladies of SnapRI photography. They were amazing and made me feel right at home. Even if I don't get the job it was a great interview experience. Kudos to them. I left feeling inspired an uplifted as they were mothers accomplishing what I want to eventually do, which is to start my own business and make money doing what I love. I decided to go out and shoot today which is something i haven't done in a while. What started out as a shoot for the warren town guide cover competition ended in some more overly psychological portraits. In the end I liked what I produced but only as personal work.

what im doing

I'm basically trying to find a way to support my family using the talents I have been given. I'm trying to find a way to make it in this awful economy and still do the things that I love. I bought some new lenses, lighting equipment and am possibly buying a large format printer. OK so here is what I can do. I take photos, I'm a makeup artist, I sew, knit, make jewelry, make home made books. I'm good at decorating and planning parties and events. I need to make a business plan.
