From the Weekend....

I've been feeling a bit unmotivated with this whole camera thing. I really am looking for some new inspiration.... maybe some better weather would help too. Anyway.. I'm not completely satisfied with these pics, but I got my camera out of the bag and did what i could... Maybe this week will be better...

Wow! That first pic of your older DD is just beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! :)

Lorrie said...

these are awesome. I love the first and the last ones the best. I dont' know how much more you would have to improve to be happy!! they look AWESOME to me!!

I'm going to disagree with Jordan and Lorrie because I like #2 best. I don't know what it is but there's something about her face, and the composition of it that makes it's more child like KWIM?
Anyway, I don't know if you're running a desaturation action on your shots but in my computer they seem a bit undersaturated (is that a word?? hmmm).
I loved looking at your entire blog. I'm in love with yesterday's post with her lips smashed against the glass. Sooo funny. Again, totally childlike!
And those tutu shots...wow! They are so funky and fun! I'm glad the girls kept the hair do's (mine won't) because I think it frames their face perfectly. Plus the environment where you're shooting makes it even more interesting.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Michelle said...

you may not feel inspired yourself but you inspire me! great shots! i love the ones with the bridge. great job!

Trisha said...

The 4th and 6th are SO cute! They really show her personality. And no, you didn't sound grumpy at all...I think that we all get in that camera "slump" every now and again...at least I know I do! I think that these look terrific though!

AmyC said...

These are beautiful. I love your B&Ws...they're my favorites. :)

It's These Little Moments said...

I hear you with unmotivated. I really am convinced it has something to do with the weather we had. But your pictures still look fantastic.

I don't know what you're smoke'en but the 2nd one is absolutely beautiful! I know what you mean though, I go through dry spells all of the time!

Teri said...

Wow these are awesome, How can you not be happy with these? Love them all and the location is perfect

jen said...

It's nice that she's so willing! I love the second and third photo!

Dar Kaso said...

Grogeous shots of your girls, really like the first two in b&w.

Tracey Kendall said...

Donna said...

Haleigh said...

Very cute pictures. I really love #1 and 2. I've been feeling in a slump lately too. I'm sure it will pass soon. You can't tell by your pictures that you weren't inspired :)Beautiful.

These are so fun. Your girls really seem to cooperate for you! Maybe you just make it LOOK that way ;)

Do you use simply natural light? I love the evenness (I know, not a real word) of the light on their faces. I've been in a big time slump for a while now, and your photos inspire me to get out my camera and just play.

Mom2Drew said...

I'm a BIG fan of your BnWs, you know that. But...I actually prefer the color here, probably because of the intensity of them. I think we ALL go through seasons of slumps, just hang in there and it will all come back to you. And say...if you're bored, by some black felt;)

Cindi Koceich said...

I wish my shots were this great when I was unmotivated...LOL! I really like the one with your dd peeking at you through the slats in the bridge! You're girls are both beautiful btw!!

Kathy P said...

these are fabulous amanda! you are being way too hard on yourself! but i do know how you feel! i get that way sometimes too. i hope better weather comes your way soon.

Stephanie said...

We all go through that 'unmotivated' stage. But..I think these pictures are fantastic! And..I love the 'messy pigtails', too. :D

Carolyn said...

These are great, I love #2 it shows such personality!!!!

I also really like your conversion...beautiful work, like usual!

Anonymous said...

I want some too .. !! :)

Your daughters are just gorgeous! I always wanted all boys but now I think I'd like a girl - if she's anything like yours!
