Anevay at Four Months

I'm soooo bored!

You may remember back in April of 2012 I photographed Anevay Sage Raciak, then a newborn.  One thing I avoided was any kind of flash; I used all natural light.  You can click HERE to see the blog I did on that photo session. 

I went back to grandma’s house and photographed Anevay at four months in August of 2012. 

I'm going to be a star!

This time I used a Canon 580EXII flash in a large portable softbox.  My goal was to do some dramatic lighting on her but not have the flash so bright it would bother her.   My camera is a Canon 7D using a 28-135mm lens.  I edited primarily in Lightroom but used Photoshop CS6 on a few photos including the plugins Silver Efex Pro from Nik Software (great for black and white conversion) and Simplify from Topaz Labs.  

I think I hear the ice cream truck.

"Look into my deep blue eyes!"

Do you think I'm pretty?  DO YOU?

Happy Shooting,
