| I had the privilege of photographing little Naomi the other day. What a fun session! Tabita and I tried our hardest to get Naomi to open her little eyes, but she just wanted to sleep! After an hour and a half of persuading Naomi, she finally opened her eyes!  My last three babies sessions were all the same - baby is happy, Caitlin arrives, child begins to wail and ear piercing screams soon follow. Caitlin, not worried, waits patiently for cute infant to regain composure and begins to decide where she wants the baby. By this time both Mother and Father are embarrassed and are still trying to calm the crying baby. Caitlin laughs inwardly while showing compassion for the parents, but really wants to laugh aloud, but instead she keeps it to herself and begins to calm the child's parents and assure them that this happens all the time. After awhile, the infant wearily falls asleep and the session begins! I am not complaining at all! I just think it's funny, but I do feel bad for the stressed out mothers! =) | | |
| Wow! It's been a long time since I've posted on here! Well, I don't really have much to write about. I'm sure you read my sisters' xangas and saw that I have a new niece! I took a few pictures of her (okay, about a billion!). I will share a few with you. 
One of my favorites! 
Look how big she's getting! 
She wasn't even a month old here. 
I still have to take her pictures in her little bedroom - it's all pink! I can't wait! I'm still working at the farm; right now I am filling out applications for farmers markets and working on the new website for the farm. Look for it soon, we're nearly done. =) I will get to help plant in a few weeks (if I'm not too busy in the office)! I am so excited for Spring and warm weather. We've had a few days in the 30's and one in the 40's! We are still getting snow, but at least we had warmer temperatures, it is going to get cold again, so I am very thankful for the warm days! You can expect another post soon! I want to introduce you to Henry!  | | |
| And here are the rest of my pictures for the photo challenge... 
Day 7: Hot Chocolate
Photographer: Caitlin Savino
Shutterspeed: 1/15s
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 200
Focal Length: 35mm
A cup of hot chocolate is much welcomed during the winter months here in our house!
I do have to confess that there is no hot chocolate in the cup. I just returned home and didn't have time to make some. My mom helped out and put a small cup under the whip cream in place of the hot chocolate! 
Day 8: Lights
Photographer: Caitlin Savino
Shutterspeed: 1/6s
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 400
Focal Length: 80mm
Filter: Center Focus
I have decided that I love using filters! I used a center focus filter and love the way it played with the light. 
Day 9: Red
Photographer: Caitlin Savino
Shutterspeed: 1/200s
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 35mm
I stole a sprig of berries from our Christmas tree with a small bow of raffia and used the underside of wrapping paper for the background. Once again, I used my speedlite and love it! 
Day 10: Nativity Scene
Photographer: Caitlin Savino
Shutterspeed: 1/15s
Aperture: f4.5
ISO: 400
Focal Length: 27mm
I didn't want to miss today, so here is my photo.
This was my great-grandmother's nativity scene. Heads have fallen off and pieces chipped over the years, but we still have it out. 
Day 11: Music
Photographer: Caitlin Savino
Shutterspeed: 1/200s
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 35mm
Music. I love music, so I was expecting this one to be easy, but found it difficult to capture music without sound. It took me awhile to think of what I wanted to do, but I finally decided to use a few of our instruments.
If anyone is looking for a cheap background, I have discovered that the underside of wrapping paper works great, especially if you use a speedlite! 
Day 12: The Christmas Story
Shutter Speed: 1/200s
Aperture: f3.5
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 19mm
The manger reminds us of Christ’s coming and the cross His ascension. Throughout the Christmas season we celebrate Christ’s birthday, but let us not forget the reason He came. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son . . .” (John 3:16).
Merry Christmas! | | |
| Wow! It's been a long time since my last update. I'm still working at the farm office and keeping really busy. I am an auntie again! But you should already know that if you read my mom and sisters' xangas. I am taking the Twelve Days of Christmas Photo Challenge and thought I'd share the pictures here. I have to take pictures of the twelve days of Christmas. Since it would be really hard to get a picture of a partridge in a pear tree, the instructors took artistic license with just a few things. So without further ado days 1-6:

| I've been waiting to post the rest of the pictures of Luka because I didn't have my watermark on the wedding pictures and I wanted to post those first. But I have made up my mind and have come to the conclusion that I am going to post whatever, whenever. I always post in chronological order, but things are about to change! So without further explanations, here are some of the highlights from my time with Luka.... 
I must say, he has the cutest little nursery! 
The little tag kept making its way from under his hat! 
 
 
And for all of those who are wondering what it's like to shoot a baby, this is what the poor little guy had to go through...  | | |
