The Lovely Loftis'

I love Baxter!!

Much to my surprise and delight, my sister-in-law's dear friend Kelly asked me to snap some photos of her and her husband. I always get a little nervous shooting pics, not because I don't want to, (Because, believe me, I do! Most of the time I'm the one asking people if I can take THEIR pictures) but because I'm desperately hoping they will like pictures they end up with. I am my own worst critic.

I met Kelly and Ryan at this picturesque park near my house. They brought along their super cute puppy, Baxter. He is such a love bug and very well behaved. He actually posed for some shots! Good boy Baxter!!

Photography comes from the two Greek root words photo and grapho, meaning "to write with light"


This past weekend my brother-in-law, Edmund, and I made the trek down to San Diego to attend Digital Days Photography Workshop. The two day workshop was sponsored by the magazine Popular Photography and Sony. The event lasted two days and it covered everything from photography basics to photo processing software.

The highlight of the weekend was the live model shoot. At first, I didn't think I would be interested in a studio lighting shoot. I usually don't take those kind of photos and prefer natural light, but it turned out to be really fun. Here are some of the goodies:

Edmund and I convinced Edward to nerd out with us on second day of the workshop. I was really excited because I have noticed that Edward has such a great eye for photos and if he just learned how to use a camera he would take such great pictures. So, on Edward's first day of ever using a digital SLR camera he got a crack at the studio models and took this rad photo...

How did he do that!? So unfair.

Welcome to the photo nerd club Edward!!
