If it happens two years in a row - does it automatically become tradition? This year my family begged me to come along, citing their need for a photographer at the bottom of the slope.
Jillian's first attempt at skiing - ever. She did great.
It was too just too cold! But I have to admit, it made for some great shots...
They both enjoy watching baseball games - so it was only fitting to have the ballpark as part of the background. I love it.
I absolutely loved spending time photographing these two. *sigh*
Classic black and white. Just you wait until I've put in my time with photoshop and the lovely photos I have of these two! Watch for another post at a later date for that!!
Welcome to our blog! I finally convinced my mom to let me help her post some of her wonderful photography work so that others can enjoy it almost as much as I do!
By way of introduction:
My mom (Kimber) has an impressive background in photography from a young age. She used to work for a photo lab in California and from that time long ago has taken photographs at approximately 50 weddings, although only a few are recent as she chose to take a break from photography to focus on her family. Also, her camera although well-loved, was quickly falling by the wayside in terms of technology!
I have grown up benefiting from her talents and I do strive to learn things from her, because she has that natural 'eye' for good photographs. She is my best critic.
She absolutely loves her current camera - a fabulous digital SLR Rebel XTI by Canon along with an amazing lens that she simply glows over.
I did pick up her passion for photography and have been taking photos since middle school. I spend a lot of time doing self-portraiture with my trusty tripod and my Canon Rebel.
I cannot remember when, but I fell in love with photoshop. I love how you can give a photo an entirely different feel by playing with lighting and colors. I also do a lot of re-touching, mostly facial, but there are times when something in the background just doesn't fit! When my mom critiques something in my photo - I usually respond, "I can fix that!"
We have decided to call our blog: C.R.E.A.T.E. photography, meaning: Capturing Really Elegant And Timeless Exposures, because we do love creating and capturing meaningful photos and sharing them with you!
I still work with film, but I always have them create jpeg images from my film negatives - specifically so that I can work with my images in Photoshop!
Can you tell I love my soft-focus filter? And this is our favorite shot of the day...
The Peter Witmer farm house -love the lighting.
An inside shot. This is such a small house for a family.
The 'guys' in my family. I was a little out-numbered.
Oops. That's okay - I needed to cool off anyways!
