I now have a softbox, so I had to play with it when I got home tonight. I still don’t have a second flash though (I’m getting it later on this week), but I like the light (even with the shadows), and I can’t believe the difference the softbox makes! Connor managed to stand still,...
I love the first one, happy playing

Enjoy Jeanette! DO you have a reflector? You can use that on the on side and bounce the flash. it will help loads for the shadows!

Yes, indeed, a portable studio is great to have! I cant wait to use mine more this year!

“Nic-nic” is Connor’s way of saying picnic, and that’s exactly what we did this afternoon. We took our lunch, scooters and a couple of balls to Emmerentia and took advantage of the gloriously warm weather. The only thing that was missing was green grass, as you can see the grass still thinks it’s winter time...

Connor’s little school friend, Paulo, had his second birthday party at the Spur today. This was the first school birthday party that Connor’s attended actually. I think it was strange for him to play with his school friends in a different environment, he wasn’t quite sure why they were all there in the beginning. ...

What a gorgeous little boy. Lovely pictures Jeanette
Love the one of him tearing into his cake!
.-= Gilz´s last blog ..Conversations with Megan =-.
That’s so sweet! It makes me think that Connor is growing up now and getting his own little circle of friends! Paulo was the first friend at school he spoke about. He’s such a cutie with big round brown eyes!
.-= Avril (Mom)´s last blog ..Jackie’s friend … =-.
He looks like a very busy/active little lad!!!
Lovely pictures – love the one of him “stuffing” cake in his mouth. LOL

Hello there, you have to checkout my web site,
nice texture Jeanette, well executed
Glad you like the daffodils! Daffodils are your flowers!! Always reminds me of when you were born!!! Don’t much like the cracked effect though! Takes the freshness out of them!

Hi Jeanette,
Just found your blog by chance. Great pictures. Will contact you soon as I can convince hubby it is time for our yearly photos. I’ve been looking for someone to take outside family pictures this year as the twins are so busy running around all the time. Pop over to my blog and have a look at the family so long. And her’s the link to our pics last year: http://juggelingactoflife.blogspot.com/2008/12/friday-foto-finish-fiesta.html

I came across this brilliant initiative on Scott Kelby’s blog and on a US photographer, Deb Schwedhelm’s blog too a few days ago, and I’m going to do it!! I’m in!
So, which other international and local photographers that read my blog are going to do it too? Hmm? What are your plans for the...
