Angela Marvel: November 2008

Family of 4 . Point Defiance

Last weekend I met with a family at my favorite park.

And even though the flowers were gone. I got some great shots of them.

And the kids were so great!

P :)

B :)

Then i had to take pictures of Mom and Dad. just love this one, one of my newest favorites.

then of course we had to do a silly one :)

Booked up

I am fully booked up for the rest of this year. If you have a special circumstance and dont care if you have the photos before Christmas, I might be able to squeeze you in.

New prices will be going up next week for 2009 and then you can start booking for the entire year.

Brett and Spencer

Today I took photos of Brett and his favorite dog, Spencer. Spencer is my parents dog that is 10 years old (thus he was my dog too for his first 3 years of life).

And Brett just adores Spencer so we love trying to get good photos of these two together.

And today I succeded!

I took photos for my parents Christmas Card :)

They are so cute together!

And then my favorite outtake of the day :) Spencer went to kiss brett and brett was NOT having that! Its too bad bcause it would have been really sweet had Brett thought it was :)

And then this one just CRACKS me up!!!!!

Another Charlie Chaplin photo

Back in March I took this photo of Brett

it even won 3rd place at the fair. Its one of my favorites.

I pulled the clothes back out just a few weeks ago because they are part of Brett's Christmas outfit. At that time I was thinking how much I would love to do another Charlie Chaplin photo but didnt think there was another way to do it.

THEN

while at LAX I saw hanging on the wall a photo of Charlie Chaplin and a dog and I just KNEW I had to recreate it.

I had the idea that I had wished I had a few weeks earlier.

So I just had to wait for the weather to be nice, Brett in a good mood and for there to be nothing else planned that day and hope to get a keeper.

Its not easy trying to get a 20 month old and a dog to cooperate but I kept trying and it paid off.

I got a shot I love.
(I mean I NEVER get both of them looking at me...EVER!)

Extra and Photo info: Used my Canon 40D, Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, 1/200, f2.8, ISO 400 (since I knew i was going for an old time look i upped my ISO as noise wouldnt be a bad thing). A funny behind the scenes note is that Brett is almost too tall for these pants and so they are actually pulled down, he is sitting on his diaper on the ground :) Also the shoes fit him actually are almost too small. Amazing how the top photo everything was soooo large and now 7 months later everything is on the verge of being too small.
