Then my group shot, my daughter and her friend, entertaining the youngest cousin in our family. The baby is my cousins granddaughter. Isn't she precious.
This picture is Brinn and her new hair cut I took it Saturday we all had our haircut that morning. Brinn went with the stylish bob for her new 4th grade look.


Okay here is my one and only semi decent attempt at a self portrait. I have my new haircut, which is really short. I was feeling brave, and wanted all the old crackling dry hair cut off. It's bit blurry but not so bad with out a tripod.


Last but not least is Violet. Violet is Brinns oldest and dearest friend. Violet has been to the emergency room for stitches twice and earaches, she's also been to the dentist for 2 extractions, and on almost every vacation and overnight. Thankfully she's washable.
Oddly enough Violet's portrait, I think actually was the only one I was able to get the blurred background effect I wanted. Oh well.
As for a tip. I would say a tripod is essential, and when your are photographing a portrait pay close attention to what's in the background. Most of my photo's backgrounds are very distracting, but Violet is sharp compared to whats behind her. Bonus I even caught the light in her little plastic blue eye.
