Mosaic Monday: A Styled Photo Shoot








I'm so sorry to be late posting here today.  We took my daughter out to lunch for her birthday, and I totally forgot about Mosaic Monday!

Here are a few images from the Zoe Berkovic workshop I took last week.  We did two styled photo sessions with child models.  Don't you just love the outfits here?  I'm loving all the touches of red and the tartan here.  And we had such great fun shooting on a real school bus -- three photographers, one photographer/teacher, and four kids -- throwing paper airplanes, blowing bubblegum, and jumping on the seats!

Here are the instructions to join today's post:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.

Mosaic Monday: More from Ham House








I visited Ham House in Richmond, England, with my daughter back in May.  I'm not sure if I ever shared all the photos I took there.  I apologize if some of these are repeats, but looking back over them yesterday, I was excited all over again for all the beautiful things we saw there.

The indoor photos shown here are from the kitchen, which was in the basement of this beautiful Elizabethan home.  The outdoor photos show just a little of the wonderful garden.

I would love to visit again some day.  My blogging friend, Sharon Collins, lives nearby and will be working at Ham House as a volunteer administrator soon.  Lucky her!  Click on the link to visit her photoblog, which is wonderful!

I want to take a moment to apologize to you all for not leaving many comments on your beautiful posts.  I find that a lot of typing and editing makes my right hand ache terribly, and I need to save my aches and pains for my work.  But please know that I appreciate each and every one of you, and all the beauty that you share here every week!  xo

Please note: there will be no Mosaic Monday next weekend.  I will be attending a photography workshop.  See you back here on November 24th.

Mosaic Monday: Sunset at Natirar






I took a ride over to Natirar the other night to check out the light for a future portrait session.  It was about an hour before sunset, and the light was glorious.  We have had some gorgeous autumn colors this year, too.  I try to treasure these beautiful days, because I know that there are dark and cold days ahead.  Can you tell that winter is not my favorite season?  ;)

October in Orange

I'm thrilled to host the very talented members of the Facebook group Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studio today.   We have been working on a different color prompt each month, and October's color was orange.  I'm fascinated by all the different takes on the color, from brash and bright to soft and shimmering...

So that's October in Orange.  Aren't they fabulous?!  Websites, etsy shops, etc. are listed under each collage.  Grab a cup of coffee and spend some time perusing the work of these talented photographers.  You might even find a few holiday gifts to order.  ;)

See you on Sunday afternoon for our regularly scheduled Mosaic Monday.
