August

So apparently I didn't take any pictures of my own family in August, but I did get together with my friend Rosie,


and cousin Kim,


and took pictures of this cutie pie!

She's Rosie's daughter, and was totally happy to model for us, which is so cool after spending lots of time bribing my kids for just a few quick pics. Here are some of my favorites.




That one is just fun!

I think photographers spend a lot of time leaning forward.




The sunset was awesome!


And so was this old rusty fence.

Is it strange that I really like this old rusty fence?

And I'll leave you with some of the strange things that can happen to self portraits when you're using a mid-range lens with a really wide aperture.

First, you can get a freaky weird floating head that isn't quite attached to your neck.


Second, your teeth that started out as "large" in real life can grow into big ol' horse teeth.


And lastly, I'm still thinking I should cut my bangs short again.
