A study in Elle

I've really been playing around with my camera a lot trying to get more comfortable with the settings that used to leave me frightened and confused before.  I asked Elle to be my model for a few quick pictures yesterday.  She wasn't thrilled with the whole thing bit I love the results. I don't mind the milk mustache or the bug bite on her nose.  In fact, I think they add something.

Maternity photos

My best friend is pregnant with her second child and this past weekend she did me the incredible honor of letting me take some maternity photos of her.  I know that I am so very much a beginner at this stuff but we had so much fun and I was really happy with the results.  It reaffirmed for me that I want to continue to practice and to get better.  Here are a few of my favorites from our little photo shoot.
