Pens

Posted by Jodi on Nov 10 2008 | photography

I am trying to come up with a catchy name for my photography business, and when I do I want to get some promotional pens with the name on them. I can use them as gifts for my potential clients. I still have a ways to go before I am even ready to start buying lots of little fun stuff for this.

My favorite lil guy

Off to the park to day, got a few good shots. He let me know when he was done.

He’s saying “One more”

Blowing me a kiss

A day at the beach

Posted by Jodi on Aug 11 2008 | photography

Robyn, the boys, and I went to Millenium Park today.  The weather was perfect!
They boys had fun at the splash pad, then off to the beach after we had lunch.

My favorite of Cohen!

Gotta love Co’s “cheese” face!

A little girl all alone

I had a fun little practice photo shoot tonight. I had to be quick,
as she was always on the go and wanted to see the pictures right then.

My new camera!!

Posted by Jodi on Aug 04 2008 | cameras, photography

I finally got my Canon camera for Christmas this past year, and I *love* it!! I love how there is no delay on this camera! I have captured so many great shots that I wouldn’t have it I had my other camera. My friend Grace has loaned me her zoom lens, and I have been having lots of fun taking pictures with it. I need to save up my money so I can buy my own. She also has a macro lens, that I want to get as well. She has some really cool shot with this lens!

I love that its an SLR camera.  What is SLR?  SLR refers to Single Lens Reflex, or a camera that has one single lens to both view a scene and capture an image. What this means, to the casual photographer, is the picture you take will be the same as the image you view through the lens. It also means you can change the lens to take telephoto or wide angle photos. The most appealing aspect of an SLR camera is the ability to adjust the camera's settings manually, so that a seasoned photographer generally knows what the finished picture will look like before it is ever viewed.

1st Photo Shoot

Posted by Jodi on Jul 24 2008 | photography

I took Trent out today for my first photo shoot. It went ok, I need to either go out first thing in the morning or later in the evening, as there were too many shadows.  You can click on the photos to view them bigger.

A Day at the Zoo

Posted by Jodi on Jul 18 2008 | photography

$1 zoo day was this week, some friends and I headed out with our kids. It was a very hot, and muggy day! But then again, it is every year Family Fare sponsors this event.

Some of my favorite photos of the day.
