We love our pets and they love us back……except for Hunter (the light colored fella). He’s a stuck up Birman cat that doesn’t seem to like anybody. The black tabby (“Halle Berry”) is my baby. She loves me because I’m the one who feeds her. Same goes for Timbo (the “Morris” look-a-like), he also uses me for my feeding skills. He’s the vocal one and has no trouble letting you know when he’s hungry. All of the cats are spoiled rotten.
Grant, our Chocolate Lab, is a really good guy and is the happiest dog on the planet. He gets along with the cats and they all get along with him……except Hunter of course. But that’s just Hunter being his usual crabby self…

I had a little free time today, so I did an impromptu portrait session with Silke. I went for a few different looks and even processed them differently to distiguish one image from another. I wanted each photo to have its own identity and think that was accomplished here.
Another thing I’ve been toying with is Photoshop actions. This particular action is a 2×2 template that allows you to take several images and place them in one frame. I chose the 4 images I liked best and loaded them in.
Here is the result:

Senior photo sessions are the rage these days, becoming increasingly popular among today’s teens. As they begin to develop their own identities and begin their transition into adulthood, these teens have a strong desire to express their individuality. One of the ways they do this is through photos.
Rebecca is no different.
This session began as a walk through the town of Bay Shore, New York. It wasn’t a planned shoot, but I happened to have my camera with me (as I always do) and decided to snap a few pics. She wasn’t really dressed for a special shoot and the bright overhead sun made for less than ideal shooting conditions. Even so, having a beautiful and extremely photogenic subject can make up for shooting in even the worst of conditions.
If you’re wondering why I’m gushing over the beauty of an 18 year old, it’s because Becca is my daughter and I can gush over her anytime I want! The fact that she now has her driver’s license (and the keys to the car) means these opportunities are becoming harder and harder to come by. I figured I’d better take advantage of the opportunity while it was there.
