Its all in the details....

It's not that I haven't been shooting, it's that I haven't had a heck of a lot of time to post lately. I swear, I'm working on that and I hope to post more regularly again!

Anyway -

Getting back in the swing, I had the pleasure of taking some pictures for a friend's twin girls this weekend. They are just the cutest, most adorable girls and they will be making their First Holy Communion soon, so naturally we wanted to capture them in their gowns!

I've never really tried 'shooting down' before but I experimented with this technique for this shoot. I have to say I'm a fan. It really gives a great perspective, and lights up the face of the subject. Of course, I had beautiful subjects, too!

Love the windblown hair here and the light in her eyes!

The pink of the flowers here really sets off the glow of her cheeks and lights her whole face.

I practiced on the details a bit, too -

Who could resist the contrast between the formal dress and the bare feet? I love the reflection on the floor here and the shadows:

I'm using my new Canon 50mm prime here. This lens is great! I cannot recommend it enough. check out what a great job it did capturing the light on the hands, and the details of the gown behind them:

And a slightly different angle here. I love the drape of the rosary beads:

I had so much fun during this session! I'm looking forward to another session on the girls' big day in a few weeks!
