hangin’ out

April 22, 2008

while ty was just hangin’ out in our bedroom, i thought i would play a bit with my off camera flash. i love trying out new photography techniques. and this one has so many possibilities! i can’t wait to experiment some more. and the best part was that i had a willing model this time….. well, for a few images anyway! :)

cheers,

stacy: and that's with a flash?? awesome. doesn't look like a flash at all. great job!

Sandra Lemin: Cute kids! Sandra

Jacqueline Reitz: Cute! Reminds me of my son - always hamming for the camera.

Nelly: kathy, awecome captures! the color is awesome!

kim Bradfod: Great captures!

not again!?

April 21, 2008

we woke up this morning to another 6 inches of the beautiful white stuff! the kids are so disappointed that it has melted away already! not me though, i am happy to see it gone. don’t get me wrong, i do love the snow, just NOT in april! i am ready for spring, anytime now!

p.s. hey christine, i am just north of victoria, b.c.  :)

are you kidding me?

April 19, 2008

isn’t it supposed to be spring time?

this is what we woke up to this morning.

stacy: i think i would cry if it snowed in NY now. but i love the tree face.....so cute.

Christine: I tried to find it on your site - where are you at? Can you send me some snow? I'm down here in balmy Houston where I'm sure it was in the 80s today. I could really use some cold!

Kaylea P: That's so funny your KP Photography. I almost named mine that but decided to use my whole first name. So it's kayleapphotography. Love your pictures.

good negotiations

April 14, 2008

partnership is all about being able to work together. it’s all about good negotiation. it’s about each party getting what they want and being happy with the outcome.

i present to you a series of images (in the order they were taken) that are the result of some ‘good negotiations’ with one of my most favorite models. i asked if i could take 5 pictures. he said ok BUT only if he got to choose the poses. hey, i wasn’t going to argue. i needed a model to test out some new equipment and he was willing! :) i’d also like to share that these were edited in lightroom (my first time) and then taken into photoshop for sharpening and resized for web! i’ve got lots to learn but i think i’m really going to love lightroom!

cheers,

Heather Munson: Hey kathy... Great pics...but I love that smokin grey seamless paper!!! :) Did you set up your off camera lighting for these?

Shonna: Good poses bud.....well except maybe for the creepy eye one.....that one is just gross. Kath, the computer will be in Victoria on Tuesday!

Kristyn: I LOVE the look of your new blog Kathy! It's awesome! Love the pictures, and I can't wait to hear some more about Lightroom! :)

too quiet

April 9, 2008

sometimes i worry when he’s SO quiet. it makes me wonder what he’s really up to….. like probably getting into something that he shouldn’t. but not this time.

this time, he was just playing with his lego and just hangin’ out in his room with his webkinz.

maybe i shouldn’t worry so much??? yeah, right!

i love this kid so much!

stacy: i think every mom worries when they don't hear anything. as if something is wrong. in my house, it usually means something IS wrong or they are doing something wrong (4 1/2 yr old twins will do that). i love 'em though.
