New lens test subjects!

I apologize for all the extraneous photographs of ourselves lately (and now, ourselves and our cats), but I just got a new lens this weekend and we’ve been testing it out. A lot. Because it’s awesome! It was a dreary, wet weekend but we ventured out into Fletcher Park and downtown Raleigh and practiced. Once in the day, once at night.

A lot of these could’ve totally been used for senior portraits if Geoff was a senior. :) The one of him by the door a few pictures above is my favorite! Now we’ll stop posting pictures of ourselves for a while. ;)

Blog Ch-Ch-Changes.

Last night we decided to change the blog and bit. I like simple designs. The website is simple, my album layouts are simple, and I felt like the blog was a bit overkill with the green background and kind of distracting watermark. So we went back to basics (white!), the OLD old school watermark (also white!) and developed a few storyboards for a different layout. :) The photographs will also be a little bit larger. Geoff and I were out and about last weekend practicing with some new photography toys and brushing up for wedding season next month. Pictures of Geoff courtesy of me, pictures of me courtesy of Geoff, my husband/assistant/2nd shooter/website creator/Donkey Kong partner. You can tell he’s been modeling for me for a long time by his Zoolander model face.
