Larger pictures on Blogger
I'm trying something out here. I want my pictures to be bigger than the predetermined "large" size Blogger offers. I want this blog to be about the pictures ... not about the background or the words I type. So ... I'm trying to figure out the best way to feature my photos and make them much larger. I'm even looking into switching blog sites (Wordpress or Typepad?), but for now I'm just researching. Do you have any suggestions? What do you think of blogging sites other than Blogger?
Please bear with me for a few days while I am trying out a few new layouts and new ideas. The blog may be down for awhile if I end up doing some serious construction to it. I am working on a header and some other features that will hopefully make it more MINE and less Blogspot. And I'm checking out some other sites too ... so I apologize for the cluttered, unorganized appearance of the blog right now. This wife/mom/photographer with a little OCD is frazzled, looking for the right layout and fixing the things that have been bothering her graphic design eye for a long time now. So ... stay tuned. Please.

Lucas & Lauren question
Lucas & Lauren, Part II
Jackson again
I realized that before I continued on with my Lucas and Lauren pictures that I still had a bunch of pictures from my shoot with Jackson and his three women! Here are more pictures from my shoot with Baby Jackson, Katia and her mother and grandmother. I'm still really learning how to use my flash (SB-800) and I have NOT mastered it yet. Really. I need to practice with this a LOT and maybe find some good resources to teach me. I am still much happier shooting in natural light.
Here are links to the other two posts of shoots I've done with the Long family:

I LOVE this one of Katia and Jackson! I love it in color, too.

I LOVE this one of Katia and Jackson! I love it in color, too.
Doesn't he just have the best eyes and the cutest little baby pout?
I think I should have lightened up Jackson's face in this one a little bit more. I don't care for how everything is all the same shade of gray. But I love his yawn.
This one of Jackson in his crib was cute in color too (the shade of pale green Katia picked for Jackson's walls is awesome) but I couldn't figure out the right white balance to use in the room ... the lighting was really tricky and the color version never quite looked right to me. But check out those sweet pictures above the crib of Katia when she was pregnant. Beautiful!

Meredith & Joss
So these pictures are back from December ... I'm so late in posting them. I posted a few from this shoot with Meredith and Joss from last month but I had a bunch more I wanted to share.

Jackson preview
I had the chance to take pictures of baby Jackson again this past weekend! I first got to take his pictures outside in the pretty fall weather in mid-November. My friend Katia wanted to get some pictures of her boy with her grandmother, who was visiting from Switzerland. We got some 4-generation pictures, some cute shots of Jackson in his crib, some of Jackson playing with his great-grandma and some close-ups of the cute 6-month-old's sweet face (a specific mommy request). Stay tuned ... many more Jackson James pictures coming soon.
