Here's Harper!

My friends Diana & Josh just had their little daughter, Harper, and I was lucky enough to take some photos of her yesterday (at the tender age of 17 days old!) Here are some of my favorite pics that I took of her--isn't she precious?!?!?

First of all, here are a few digital photos that I took using my Olympus e-300 DSLR and a beautiful Zuiko 50mm lens.







And of course I had to take some SX-70 Polaroids as well! (The film is expired 600):





I'm so excited to watch Harper grow and discover the world around her--and of course, I've already explained to her parents that I'll be watching with a camera in my hands! :)

Daisy-Baby!

I had such a fun time taking photos last Sunday of my friend (and former student) Amy and her beautiful baby daughter, Daisy. Isn't Daisy a little darling? Here are some of my favorite photos (so far--I still have film to process!)

SX-70+expired600 film (no ND filter):

I'm honing my portrait-taking skills, so any advice you may have, please pass it on!

More photos of my mother and her childhood doll

Awhile back, I wrote an entry about my mother and her childhood doll. Finally, I've developed some of the Holga photos that I shot on the same day that I shot the Polaroids in that entry. I love the qualities of these photos. I hope you will, too.
