Today was Easter, and we had the MArin side at my Aunt Linda’s house. My grandma lives in a nursing home, and gets very confused if she is away from there, so she cannot leave any more. To help her remember her kids and family, my aunts have given her pictures of the family, and they thought it would be nice to have a picture of all her kids (all my aunts and uncles). This image is all of them together for my Grandma. This is just a quick shot in her backyard with natural light. I think it turned out pretty well for a quick shot, and my grandma will love it!

Tonight I noticed that the daffodils I photographed the other day have started to bloom. I decided to take some more pictures of them tonight.This time I decided to keep the image color to show the color of the buds. I personally don’t think I like this shot as much as the one from the other day, but that is what this project is all about right? Exploring your skills and trying to improve.

Today while we were shopping at Sam’s Club, we saw these Easter Lily’s and with my new found fondness for flower images, I decided to buy them. This image turned out to be my favorite from the shoot for a couple reasons. I wanted a portrait orientation image and I really like the lighting on the flower. This is a studio image against a black background. I sprayed it down with water to add some interest to the image, and lit it with a large soft box. Editing was done in Lightroom 3 Beta 2, Photoshop CS4, and Topaz Adjust 4.

Tonight the weather was so great that we got to play outside with the kids again. Addison really loves to push Caleb in his swing, and he obviously enjoys it as well! I am looking forward to more fun this weekend and this summer with the kids and Lori!
