I was digging around some old drives and ran across a few shots of Jazzy’s dance class from about 15 months ago. Jazzy doesn’t dance anymore, but these will be cute to me forever.
Snap shots that have definitely grown on me since last viewed…
Have a great weekend…! :D
This past Monday I had a chance to get the girls and Connie out for an evening fall shoot. It was probably the nicest fall day we’ve had this year. Just a fun time chasing the girls around and practicing some shot ideas…
Rock on!
…we’re down in Ocean City this weekend to cover a show for a local Scranton band, Bliss. They play down here @ Seacrets a few times a year. Last year we were only able to catch the first show in April. Not bad at all, but a tad early in the season for this neck of the woods. Tonight’s show, smack in the middle summer fun, should be radically different. The guys in Bliss are awesome. Energetic as hell and always ready to make sure the photographer is having at least as much fun as they are. Thankfully, our hotel is the closest building to Seacrets, so getting back is pretty doable no matter how much fun I end up having on accident on purpose! :D
Last night we cruised up to Fenwick Island quick to catch one of its storied sunsets. The girls love it, we love it, and as long as we let them get in the water without concern for what they’re wearing or how many times they’ve changed in one day, everyone has a blast.
I spent the time working with some of the built-in Nikon CLS lighting tricks this fancy gear has. I hardly ever use it, but I’ve been pushing myself to get better with how it works. Holding the flash in the left hand, camera in right and trying not to loose my balance and fall in the water myself was fun for sure. Some of these are just plain goofy, but the memories they make are worth every second of the silliness.
Rock on everyone…
…the hardest thing in the world to shoot is my own girls. The irony doesn’t escape me. Other kids listen…mine, not necessarily. I do cut them some slack as I realize they suffer the lens more than most, but that doesn’t change the challenge.
But we always try to have fun, no matter who’s listening and who’s not. Course, Jazzy’s almost always throwing it, and Nora can have her moments as well. So here’s a sample of the latest set of the Donlin Ladies. I’ll have a gallery of this shoot some time in the near future (hopefully).
Enjoy
