Fun with Bean!

So lately I haven't been shooting because I have been busy doing other things... things that have totally taken over when they really shouldn't have. So I asked my daughter to dress up a little, I put a backdrop up, and one light with a reflective board opposite of it. So all of these are one light pictures!

I love that pettiskirt - I bought three of them a few years ago when they were all the rage and even though tutus are the thing now, I still prefer the pettiskirts. Today I am working on a themed set - its should all be put together in a few days. I can't wait to see how it comes out, there are few items I really wanted but haven't been able to find, but I will make do with what I have and go from there! Nancarrow Photography is still doing back-to-school pictures for groups at a discount rate. You can view your images after your session, so there isn't a surprise when you get your pictures! Book your school/group today! Its also Senior 2013 time! don't wait until the last minute to get them done!

Summer rain

In the High Desert, we have these few days in summer where the heat makes you delirious and begging for snow and freezing cold temps (not, me, just other crazy people). Just when you think you can't take it anymore, the skies get cloudy, the air gets thick and then Mother Nature puts on a light and sound show. Claps of thunder, shots of bright lightning, and then as a finale....we get rain. One year it rained so hard so quickly that my father in law and I were barely able to make it to Baskin Robbins and back to pick up my son's cake for his birthday. The streets were flooded and cars were getting stuck. But after the rain, its so quiet and peaceful. Everyone seems content to stay inside and relax for a moment if they can.

My roses are especially happy to receive rain. I knew we were probably going to get some, so I tilled up the dirt around them so that the water would be able to go deep and get to the roots. Right now the temps are not bad, but the bad part about summer rain is the humidity. Give me my High Desert dry heat. I know there will be some soaked shirts tonight at softball. Oh, and happy Friday the 13th!!!!

I'm sorry!

I have neglected this blog for so long - I really got caught up on exclusively posting on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Nancarrow-Photography/275755954554 ) and so this blog really became 2nd. But I think I have a system down, so we shall see how it goes. Some projects that I have coming up: #1 I'm doing a wedding! The couple is sooo wonderful and I am really looking forward to it.

Seriously a gorgeous and fun couple. I can hardly wait for their wedding in September. It will be my final project before I go on vacation. #2 I'm going on vacation! The family and I are headed back to Walt Disney World in Florida! I am sure it will be a blast, and this year we are taking our inlaws with us. #3 FAIRY PORTRAITS are here! This week I am putting together the set, getting a few models to shoot, and offering fairy portraits for the rest of July and all through August. They are going to be beautiful, and only offered on selected days. WAY BETTER than the first fairy portraits I ever did! So look for my post tomorrow... its going to be another scorching hot day, they say. But I'm a cool person - it will be alright. :-)
