What are you looking at?

I used 3 images to make this composite. I took the shot of the baby turtle sometime last summer. The acorn cap Holly is sitting in I took last fall. And the image of Holly, just a few weeks ago.

I still feel like this one isn't finished. So don't be surprised if you see this one again only a little different. I asked my daughter Marlee if she had any ideas. She said put a hat on it. LOL that is her answer to everything!

Winter Wonder | Southern Maryland Fairy Godmother

Because sometimes it's just fun to play. Do you love seeing these as much as I love making them? I sure hope so because you will be seeing a lot of this showing up here. It is the "Fairy Godmother Collection". Interested in a session for your child, grandchild, or even yourself? Maybe you would just want to buy a print. Scheduling for these sessions and print sales will start next year. Subscribe to be the first to know when I release more info.

This is an older picture of Holly at the park in the spring. There was no snow that day. The reindeer I bought at Photographers Unleashed. A great resource for overlays and other fun things to add to a composite.

Crap I like this one better!!

Do you ever get so excited to share something that you post right away, then later wish you would have waited a bit because you thought of something better to share just moments after? No? Ok it's just me then.

I posted the gator fishing picture the other day with the layered file still open in photoshop. When I opened photoshop later the pictures was still there and I thought hmmm what if I...

So I changed it a bit. Then waited a few days to post in case it happened again. And all is good. This is the final edit. For real.

Would you like to be in a picture like this? Stay tuned I will be posting details on these types of sessions. And I'm thinking maybe a contest you could win a shoot, or a print, or something else. Let me know what you would like to win.

Cicada madness | Southern Maryland photographer

This post may have a yuck factor. My 6yr. old looked at the screen and wanted to know why I took such scary pictures. I am just as fascinated as I am grossed out by these little guys. So I spent 4 hours photographing these buggers today. Oh how I love to shoot out doors in my PJ's!! I happened to catch one not out of it's shell yet. So I photographed the progression. There were 2 of them I watched today, but only 1 I got to see from the start. Watch this slide show to see the progression for yourself. As you watch look at the eyes, it was looking right at me every time! Go ahead push play, you know you want to!! Oh yeah, hover over each one to see the time it was taken. Enjoy the show...
