This shot was taken this afternoon just before our appointment. Merri wanted a few good shots of her and Gianna. So we spent a little time taking some shots. I like the lighting here, for some reason. I think it’s because its all reflecting off of a blanket to the side. Whatever the reason, i like the result.

I tried to capture a few moments between mother and daughter. You can clearly see the happiness on Merri’s face here, but in this shot you can’t see Gianna’s reactions. I have others where she’s super smiley, but not Merri.

This one is my favorite still.

35mm, 1/60 second, f/2.8, ISO 200

Didn’t get out of the house today, it wasn’t nice out again today anyway.

This is Merri’s and Gianna’s default state. Gianna sleeps on her chest, and Merri watches tv, or surfs the web on her laptop. I asked her to put Gianna on her chest so I could get a good shot of them.

I have gotten a bit of criticism lately for not using a deep enough depth of field so I set up the tripod and set my 35mm lens to f/8 and took the shot. This was a 1 second exposure at ISO 640. I like the result, but I really need to learn more about lighting, or at least get a flash.
