Adrea: Uncooperative Sunset

During this time of year (when sunset is so late) I'm often out around when the sun goes down. I've taken to taking my camera with me in case there is some opportunity to catch something. I was sure this blinding sunset was going to be a brilliant photograph except it didn't quite translate. So, annoyed, I looked up instead and caught the telephone pole. Might as well cover all bases.

Sarah: amazing

Adrea: Flower Tests

Nothing like trying to take risks and being reluctant.  SO... I really risked the heck out of this rose.

Adrea: I Am Awesome

Steve has these pictures on his laptop, hence why I'm re-discovering them. I think this picture should be the most praiseworthy picture I have ever taken considering I think its a good picture... but particularly because it was taken twenty minutes or less after I had given birth. I took this from my delivery bed with IV still in my arm and half my body still numb. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Adrea: Younger Bess

reaching back for material - looking at it with new eyes (and new photoshop skills) can be super fun. I was thinking I'd take a lot of risks, but sometimes it's still hard when i just plain like the picture to mess too much with it.

I followed around this sweetie at my nephew's birthday party trying to get a great picture of her eyes...

Adrea: Snapshot

So, I'm finding my biggest problem with my laptop disaster is not having a store of photos to go back to when I don't have current work on my computer. Like I'm technically up to date, but I have nothing left. I need a bunch of ten minute photo sessions.

Adrea: Technical difficulties

Sigh.

My laptop has died. Quite unfortunate for me.

You may experience periodic disruptions in my consistency until this problem is resolved.

BEEP.

Sometimes the perfect photo happens when you're trying to take another one. Have mercy on the oldest grandchild - it's not always easy being first!

Adrea: Real Smile

It's hard to catch this smile on film, but worth it when I do...

Adrea: Praying Mantis Explosion

I've never seen a praying mantis before in my life and in the last month I've got pictures of two. They must change colors? The one Steve found was brownish... mine was bright green.

Adrea: Out of My Comfort Zone

On the way back from Santa Barbara last week I looked in my rear view mirror and the setting sun was HUGE. I pulled over on the freeway, ran up a hill and took a few pictures. More to come...

Adrea: Family Orr

there are some hilarious outtakes from this shoot- seriously too many to post... I look forward to doing another Orr shoot after baby arrives!

p.s. I am SO caught up from my vacation blog skips, don't you think? Or are you merciless?
