Yearly Archives: 2011 This year we started a new tradition that seems to be all the rage these days–the Elf on a Shelf. The idea is that the Elf (Emily named ours Holly) watches the children in a household during the day, and then she reports back each night to Santa on whether each child was naughty or […]  For part three in my little series about the CM Workshop (part one is here, and part two here), we worked on both seeing and using existing light, and also manipulating light to our advantage. This week really emphasized the limitations of my camera as it does NOT do well in low light. The highest […]  Just a few months ago I got to photograph this little guy as my first newborn shoot.

So I’d like to introduce you to my favorite daughter, Emily! ************************************************** Hi everyone! I am Jessica’s daughter, Emily! I also love photography, and in October my Mom and I went on […]  Part two in my blog series about the CM workshop I am taking this month (part one is here). This week we’ve been working on going beyond the more simplistic rule of thirds when composing our shots. Specifically, we’ve been working on learning to see Golden Spirals and Golden Triangles. It’s not easy! I find […]  I am taking a brilliant CM workshop that began last week, and we were working on trying to see one subject compositionally in different ways.
