Spring shoot at Tibblefork

I drove up to Tibblefork reservoir with my daughter this morning to go exploring. There was still more snow than I expected, but we had a great time. There were people sledding, a few fishermen, and some ducks braving the cold water. The wind was cold but it was beautiful. Between the sun ducking in and out of the clouds, I was able to get some great shots around the water. It was very interesting seeing nature in transition—the old melting away and the new beginning to bud. I was especially intrigued by the algae growing on the retaining walls and enjoyed trying to catch water droplets falling from a shrinking bank of snow.

Retrospect does baby faces

I love this collage that Retrospect did of baby faces. The work is excellent. I love the lighting. Describing the project on their blog, they said:

Your baby pulls a thousand faces, and I know you love each one. Even the sad and mad faces are adorable in photographs! I bet you’ve noticed, as your baby develops those faces change. Those little expressions can appear for a month or two and then disappear as they keep growing. … I’ve heard so many moms say that they wish they could see “that face again.” … So, I started to create personality storyboards for younger kids. They show off all of your little one’s happiest, funniest, and maddest faces so you can continue to cherish them forever!

Tempted to wear matching clothing

I quite enjoyed today’s post on Retrospect Studio’s blog tactfully begging the world to think twice about matching outfits for group photo shoots. The included image from a 1970’s JCPenny catalog cannot be missed.
