Behind my lens

Welcome to Cheryl's focus; thoughts, behind my lens. Sometimes serious, sometimes not.

In the meadow

I shot with a friend the other day in my favorite little meadow. I changed lens's a few times, and Mom was shooting too, so with the light going fast, I didn't get exactly what I had in mind, but here's a few I played with. I love my 200mm lens, but I can't seem to stand back far enough to get that full body shot. Practice makes perfect. I can't wait to go on over to that little peaceful place again soon!
Here's a few of Samara and Ethan.

Baby Boy

This is the first time little Hayden ( Little?) got his photographs taken.. I think for three months he's a very big boy!! Here's Mom's sneak peak. I had to post the funny one too. What a priceless expression!
This back ground paper came in handy! It has been a while since I used some of the papers I have made. Once I slow down, I will be adding some templates, brushes, etc. to my graphics blog too, so don't forget to check there for useful goods to compliment your photos!

Welcome Gavin

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mom, dad and baby. I have not had a lot of time to edit and play yet, but here's a sneak peak for now.

A few recent photos

Boy oh boy, I am not the professional blogger, am I? Here are a few recent favorites. I love the rock/urn setting. I had not planned on using this back ground, but I knew it would come in handy sooner or latter. I will be working on these fantasy like portraits with other settings, soon. So heres some of my more current work, including a recent trip to the beach with the kids.
