Other photo opportunities.

A couple of the sessions I had booked for this month got canceled and of course my fingers got itchy for something to photograph, so I found other things to capture this month - one of them being some orchids at a local conservatory that I visited.

Orchids is one of my favorite flowers, which is quite apparent when you look at my galleries - Orchids got their own gallery because I've photographed so many of them now! :o)

Here's a couple of the ones I took this month, and a link to more: http://www.pbase.com/timelessphotographywv/orchids

And last month I got in the baking mood and made my own homemade chocolates with fillings (some with almonds, marsmellows, coconut and then the last was suppose to be crushed butterfinger bars but I ran out, so I used some Swedish candy called Daim - its similar to Heath bars).

And I wouldn't be a photographer unless I started playing and photograph the things before they got consumed. You can find more of those images here: http://www.pbase.com/timelessphotographywv/chocolates

Scout Portraits

I agreed to do a scout portrait fundraiser for a local scout group in hopes to raise some more money for the boys. Although we didn't have as great participation this year as we did last year, we still made enough to get them some new awards that they're busy earning this spring.

Congratulations on your new ranks boys!

Outtakes!

There's nothing like photographing kids...

After my most recent session of formal headshots I still had my gear set up and my 2 year old was running around wanting attention, I put him on the stool and thought ok, he's game lets take some nice pictures of him for the grandparents.

Well if you have kids you should know now that things never turn out like you expect them too.
My 2 year old was game alright but not in the way I thought. 1 image out of I don't know how many was a smile and fairly nice, the rest were faces as these below...




This inspired me to start a folder on my portfolio with just outtakes, with kids you get A LOT of them. Here's the link which will hopefully contain more in the future: http://www.pbase.com/timelessphotographywv/portfolio_outtakes

Professional Head Shots.

I had the opportunity to take some more headshots this month...

This woman was needing some more "formal" portraits for her professional website among other things. We tried several different shirts to come up with something she really liked. She preferred the more colorful shirts and ended up picking the first image below, which also happened to be my favorite.
