Santa, baby…

In honor of my three friends (hi Amanda, Molly, & Alice!) who were the proud recipients of DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras this holiday season, and given that they are likely not the only ones, I thought I’d write a post with some pointers on how they (and you!) can begin to use those…

Molly - Yay! Awesome post. I can’t wait to start experimenting. I trust operators will be standing by on Annemie’s DSLR hotline…

amanda - I’ve been shooting, shooting, shooting. and 98% is crap, crap crap. LOL! but I’ve been learning about the triangle and, the point is, experimenting. I’ll keep you all in the loop (and maybe send a photo if I get one worth the energy it takes to email it!) ha!

megapixie - Molly: the hotline is ALWAYS open; Amanda: I guarantee if you keep shooting, shooting, shooting, that percentage will come down… how much depends on how much attention you pay to WHY it’s crap :)

Last Portrait Session of 2010: Done!

How in the WORLD is it December 16th already? It has been a whirlwind of a holiday season here at Megapixie, and I’ve been thrilled and honored by the number of people who’ve entrusted their once-a-year-share-it-with-everyone-you-know family portrait to me. By Friday, I will have finished editing every last portrait session from 2010 to free…

Bert - What GREAT photos! What a joy they
will be to the family and to the kids when they are adults with kids of their own.

Joda - Wonderful portraits! The last B&W with the kids looking up is SPECTACULAR!!! I’d make that a holiday card!

kate - Beautiful. What a gorgeous family! Couldn’t help but smile looking at these. I love the way you captured their love and comfort with each other.

Robert - Nice work with four kids… that’s tough even in perfect weather.

Alyssa Meyer - Adorable! I wish my kids would smile in each others’ presence! Beautiful pictures, as always!!!

Molly - Woah, I’m #6 on the comments list today – popular post! I love the collage of individual portraits you put together. The group color shot is great too. What a great lookin’ bunch of kids, rain or no!

Ben - This is a great set. I particularly like the one where they’re all looking up at the camera. Nice work!

Jenn - Annemie – as always, very impressive work. Beautiful kids and the one with Cole making the goofy face is terrific – showing off the personality makes for a great holiday card!

Sara - Congrats on being done for the year!!! Way to go out with a bang!!! Merry Christmas!!!

amanda - love these! the BW looking up is perfect for a holiday card (and super cute!). But I have to say my favorite is the one where Cole is making a face. I saw it and my heart burst! what a beautiful family. You captured a lot of love here.

Friday Favorites: Light & Context

I took these images a couple of weeks ago, but came across them yesterday and thought I’d share the gorgeous late afternoon light. My neighbor is having some work done on her house, and one day, as I pulled into my driveway, I looked over to see one of the workers perfectly silhouetted against the…

Molly - Yes, yes the light… The light is quite ruggedly good looking indeed.

Leacey - Beautiful! The light … and the subject ain’t too hard on the eyes either!! :)

Bert - What great photos! The first is my favorite as it shows the light, the work environment, and the intensity of the workman. If I were doing that job, I would be very happy to have one of these work portraits. In fact, I think it would be good to have people get their portraits done at their work place… we spend so much time there and (probably) have very few photos of ourselves at work.

Darcy - Annemie, you rock!
