I heart faces - "In the distance"
Submitted by Lara on Tue, 06/04/2013 - 19:23This photo is one of my favorites from a recent maternity shoot. I enjoy the the way the couple are in the foreground but there is a panoramic feel with the mountains and trees in the distance.
A maternity shoot
Submitted by Lara on Mon, 06/03/2013 - 20:37I was honored when Vanessa phoned and asked me to take some "belly" shots before her little one arrived. I really enjoyed connecting with her and Tim, and laughing a lot while taking these special photos. Thinking of them during this time as they stand on the brink of amazing change - tomorrow is their due date!
Early morning paddle
Submitted by Lara on Fri, 05/31/2013 - 14:11These photos were taken a little after 7am on a Sunday morning a few weeks ago at Emmarentia, just as the sun was rising and the mist was lifting from the surface of the water. Everything had a beautiful golden look. I have added a light texture to each of these.
I also discovered that same morning the one cannot just take photos at Emmarentia but one has to book a time to shoot. Being a tax payer contributing to public park such as this, I was very annoyed by this information! Evidently if using a cell phone to take photos one need not book . . . is this discrimination?
Bev, Liberace and family
Submitted by Lara on Mon, 05/13/2013 - 14:41A warm afternoon shoot with golden sunshine, a beautiful horse (who took a while to settle with the camera), dogs and family. It was lovely getting to know Bev and her family and I really enjoyed editing these photos, although I struggled to cut down on the number of photos because there were so many I liked.
Impromptu
Submitted by Lara on Sun, 05/05/2013 - 21:41Today I was asked to take a few unexpected, impromptu photos - these were amoungst them and I really liked the way the garage door worked as a background
Earth day
Submitted by Lara on Tue, 04/23/2013 - 20:18A day late, but with the reminder of earth day (22 April), i decided it was time for some photos from my garden as a reminder of how diverse the plant life on this planet is . . .
A year ago . . .
Submitted by Lara on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 11:58I stumbled across some of the un-edited photos from last years trip through the Karoo and decided to edit these two, this is the result. The skies in the Karoo are always magnificent!
Through the curtain
Submitted by Lara on Fri, 04/19/2013 - 17:38This photo was shot through a net curtain which blew in front of the camera, and I have only edited it now and quite like the effect. Also trying out a new watermark . . . I was hoping to simplify it . . .
Took a bit long . . .
Submitted by Lara on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 20:17This short family shoot was done a month ago and I have been rather slow in getting it edited, so here are a few shots of these special people.
