I sometimes walk to a local public boat ramp nearby. After lots of wind the last few days, the tides were extremely low and a huge beach appeared. The first photo was taken April 16th, followed by April 26th both near sunset and the next 2 photos were taken a few days later on May 1st from virtually the same place. Add a few palm trees and it could be from the Caribbean!
I bought some tulips from the grocery store, not knowing what color they would be from curbside pickup. Tulips don’t grow well in our yard, so I thought it would be fun to photograph some. I played with still lifes using 2 flashes and a flashlight on black velvet.
This was about shapes.
I shined a flashlight on the tulip and tried to get a reflection in the lens ball.
Our last poodle was a sweet senior dog when we started to care for her. As she got slower, we knew we would miss her very much when she left us. I started taking more photos of her. I wish we had lots of puppy pictures, but we couldnt go back in time to get them. Pet photography can create memories that you will never forget. You dont want to miss pictures of their puppyhood, their quirky personalities or their life. My goal is to give you lasting memories of your pet and have a little fun at a photo session at the same time!
