hana at four

Remember Hana? You can read about her here, here and here.

She is one of my favorite little people to photograph and one of the best parts about visiting my cousin and his wife in Vermont. I mean, who can resist a 4-year old who says, "I wish I were a papa. Then I could drink wine and beer all day and sleep naked."

jack and the tilt-shift lens

This is the second time I have photographed Jack. Both times, his parents have requested that I approach the session the same way I approach one of my fine art shoots. Which, for me, means that I whip out my favorite lens: the 90mm tilt-shift. Woo hoo!!

The challenge, though, is that my tilt-shift is a manual lens with a very narrow plane of focus. And you are probably aware that three-year olds are moving targets. It's a little challenging.

Despite that, I am thrilled with the shots I got. Jack is as cute as can be and my lens worked it's magic. Plus, we did the shoot at Gasworks, so we got some great colors.
You like that little yellow flower (aka: weed) that Jack is holding? All his idea. He's a cutie, that one.

Carla the environmentalist

Had to share some more cutie kid pics.

Little Miss Carla was so enamored with the flowers and pine cones and the grass, it was hard to keep up with her! No, I did not ask her to hug that tree....it was all her idea. At three years old, the girl has got her priorities straight. :)
