First Days of Summer

Black and White Summer Hike

In the middle of the summer when visiting our family's cottage, the "kids" of the family decided to head out and go on a hike. It was supposed to be a light hike, but it ended up being an intensive, wading through knee-deep water and making a detour to find a geocache, kind of hike. Luckily, the camera and I survived. These photos are the result of that summer afternoon.

Up the Hill (and Down Again)

Ruins

After some internet digging, my sister (always a willing model) and I found these ruins in our region. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon then a photo shoot at a cool location?

You'll notice in shots one and five, I played around with intention blurring of the subject. I'm beginning to learn that the subject doesn't always need to be pin sharp to make a good image. 

Nancy Drew Costume!

I wanted to document my sister's lovely Halloween costume for this year! Can you guess who she's supposed to be? If you're interested in the making of, feel free to click here.
