Tattoos, Baby Belly, and Las Vegas

The title says it all! I knew once I met N & R what style photography session we were going to have. I didn't want to go traditional for their maternity pics so we incorporated some OCF work. Man was this fun! They totally played the part with their look. What was really neat, I found out that they dabble in photography too. I didn't find that out until the session was over. Thankfully so, I would have been nervous during the shoot!
I really hope you enjoy your pics N & R! I seriously can't thank you enough for letting me try this technique with your pictures. You guys totally rock!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I took some time off from posting and now I am behind! Keep a lookout for my first Senior and maternity post in the next week! I also just booked my first newborn in 2 weeks! I cannot wait! I am hoping to give my blog a make over if time permits.
Santa brought me new lighting toys and I am determined to learn this stuff. My goal for 2010 is to figure out OCF ( that would be "off camera flash" for the non photogs that read my blog ).
I have been experimenting with the flash and new processing. Boy do I have LOTS to learn. I know these are far from perfect but they are the beginning of me learning this technique!
Enjoy!
