Personal Journey and Adventures of Nina

Miss Elliott was the most delightful baby. At just 9.5 months, she is complacent and contented beyond her years. I love how she pensively looks out the window to watch what is going on outside. This photo has a Silverefex Pro Holga filter on it.

I am very excited to be photographing for the this year's auction project. I will be taking a variety of candids and posed images, then making these photographs available to all families in the school. Special packages will soon be announced and 20% of all profits will go back to the Auction Project and in turn to the school.

This has been a week of babies and I just LOVE photographing such sweet, innocent and peaceful beings. What a pleasure!

I had a terrific time out at the stables in Sherwood where the Johnson family keep their horses. Thankfully, all animals and humans co-operated and we were able to get the shot! Yee ha!

Yesterday, I photographed the MHCC Theatre's production of "Magic Theatre" for children. The images will be published in The Advocate newspaper. It was great fun and again reignited my enjoyment of theatre. A couple of the images are Matt Kallio's who assisted on the job. Thanks Matt.

This month, I am photographing families of Willamette Primary School to raise money for the PTA who then use the money to make the educationional experience of our children more enjoyable. I have raised several thousand dollars over the years but best of all, I have met the most wonderful families and watched them grow. We have been extremely lucky with the most gorgeous weather. I am very excited about the results. The colors are amazing!

Lovely family. I tried a Grecco lighting setup and just loved it. Decided against a hair light but did try the same setup with the hairlight on another client and it was great but different look. Daly looking so handsome. Love that Amanda brought the family a change of clothes!

What a wonderful couple. It was such a pleasure to photograph them. I hope they like their images. There are so many. Check my website soon for more. Bruce looking terribly debonair!

What a great time we had today for Emily's first shoot. We worked on images that might go in her portfolio if she decides that she may give modelling a try. First we did all natural shots. Emily is not wearing any makeup except for a little black drama under her eyes. Then we dressed her up with full makeup and hair... What do you think?

I had fun today. I finally got a chance to relax and photograph for fun. See what you think...

Whilst very nice to use, there is little difference in picture quality between the 20D and 40D. I just love my 20D but I have shot thousands of images and it is beginning to show signs of age! See what you think. SETUP I shot this on a tripod with a Alien Bees 1600 with Medium Softbox. This image was taken with the 20D... This image is taken with the 40D.... Closer up. 20D 40D 20D 40D
