I love getting to take close up shots of my little ones, My daughter is one that seems to have the hardest time holding still so I greatly treasure the times when she does.This photo was extra fun and funny because my daughter was wearing her older brother's boxers as shorts! She absolutely loves Sonic so she steals them and wears them whenever she can, this shot is a good reminder of what you can do with a macro lens and a good close crop. (cause you never know what might be going on behind the scenes : D)..I added my 8 inch Vivitar ring light to help supplement the window light.
I am I longboarding, book loving, word obsessed, detail chaser. I am fueled by coffee, red bull and good hearty belly laughs. On any given day, I look like I was thrown from my closet, in whatever fits. My hair and makeup are an unprepared disaster, forged by that day's urgency. We are often barefoot and dirt covered and the neighbors know me best for misplacing one child as I frantically chase down the other four. I learned to shoot film when I was eighteen and I fell in love with my first SLR, I love to shoot the details and I live for moody and dramatic light. As I continue to learn, my children find new ways to avoid posing, pushing me to learn, and to love self portraiture. Though life with little ones is exhausting and overwhelming, I wouldn�t trade it if I could. I love these moments, they are hard, they are heartbreaking, they are story-worthy, they are my everything.
