The World According to Angie

Beautiful Beth

Shot with Nikon D300s + Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8; 1/125s at f/5 and ISO 800 at 62mm; shot at dusk with speedlight used for fill flash.

This is Beth. Isn't she gorgeous? She's my niece thanks to my marriage to Jim ... she's his older sister's only daughter. When we gathered in Louisiana for the Key family Christmas celebration in mid-December, I had the chance to do a shoot for Beth's family. I'm delighted to have this photograph to prove to her that she is just as beautiful on the outside as she is on the inside ... and that she should stop covering her face with her hair.

Love ya, Beth!

Michael, and His Guitar

Shot with Nikon D300s + Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6; 90mm @ 1/250s at f/5.3 and ISO200; post-processing work done in Lightroom 3.

I shot this moody portrait of Jim's son, Michael, during our family portrait session in early December. We opted to use an abandoned railroad track in Allen for some fun, funky shots with Audrey - the same tracks where I shot Veronica's 14th birthday portraits - and we encouraged Michael to bring along his guitar for some additional flavor. Of all the shots I took that day, this is the one I like the best!
