Photo Tip - Angle of View

We are having a warm spell and so we Minnesotans were all outside today.  I was laying on the grass because that is a wonderful thing to be able to do in March - even if it is brown and dry - and was just struck by the beautiful shadows cast by the still bare trees on the neighbors wall and how great the kids looked as they ran around the grass with that beautiful blue sky above them.

So the tip for today is -  try taking your photos from a different than normal angle.  It adds interest and it's fun.

So, if the sun is shining where you are, grab the camera and get outside and lie in the grass a bit.  You'll be glad you did.

Valentine's Day Portrait

These images were taken several years ago, but the topic is timely and I still love the photos, so I'll share them.  The images were taken as a Valentine's day present for their mom.  It was a secret and Dad and the kids left home in casual clothes headed to do the shopping as far as mom was concerned. They arrived at my house, changed to their dressy clothes and created these lovely portraits.
