Beginner Rose Photos!

These are my first shots in manual mode. Beginning photos!

I didn't have any models that day, and besides, who has the patience to sit perfectly still while I go back and forth with camera settings? Inanimate objects, of course!

Esme Lou Who

This is my go-to gal right here. I needed practice shooting photos of squirming kids and she made sure I had it! This is Esme Lou Who, and she is a cutie pie (and she knows it!) 

Esme is one of those kids that makes crazy poses when she sees a camera aimed in her direction, so I had to get sneaky. Hard to do with a huge black DSLR that screams "I am taking your picture!" But I mean, look at that adorable face.

I am not huge on using photoshop to alter the face of the person in my pictures. And why would I want to change this face? But to 16 year old Esme's relief, I edited a BIG booger out of her nose in this one. Can't even tell, right?

No words. Doll baby!

Look at the hair, folks.

Obviously, these were taken on a different day. But my, how good she is at making model faces when she doesn't know I've got a lense aimed at her!

Blooming flowers!

I wish I was at a higher angle in this photo so we could see my cute puppy back there! She is a golden/lab mix just in case you are wondering. Cute+cute=CUTE
