Singing in the rain.....

So what do you do when the weather man gets things so wrong and it downpours during a session? You sing, you dance, you grab an umbrella, and you play in the rain! That's exactly what happened during this session! We took some shelter in a gazebo, I grabbed an umbrella and we made it work. Work it did, and very well I might say. The photo of this family catching the rain has become one of my favorites to date. I think I could have done this entire post in black and white aside from the fact that I LOVED these little girls in their pink. :)

A word to the wise though, always keep an umbrella handy, especially if you live in Central New York!

Popcorn

It's yellow. It's yummy, and it POPS! Maybe that's why kids like it so much. Using popcorn for a prop really happened almost by accident as the little containers I found were what gave me the idea. I  am a frequent raider of the dollar bins as Target. I was doing my regular shopping routine one day and these cool little containers jumped out at me! The second I saw them I knew I had to have them! They were old school looking. I knew using them and incorporating popcorn into a shoot with kids would make for a lot of fun, and a lot of giggles. Food always does! While we were shooting, some Canadian Geese were also very happy to gorge themselves on all the popcorn we were spilling every where. To bad they were not polite about it! Regardless we still had a great time!

I am still learning the ins and outs with my new camera. I tweaked things a little before this shoot in hopes of achieving some better Bokeh. So far I'm liking the results and my new camera, but I'll let all of you be the judge. If your curious about my settings, pop me an email!

I so enjoyed my time with you all M family! It was so good to finally meet you! :)
