March has definitely been busy! This upcoming weekend is the only one that I have "off", until I get a vacation for the Easter weekend! The saying is so true, "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb"...or so I'm hoping!
I'm so fortunate to have family that doesn't live too far away and our schedules finally allowed for us to get together! I was most excited because I was going to be visiting my cousin and her husband who are expecting very SOON! And of course that meant I was going to have a gorgeous family to be in front of my camera!
Since, I wasn't familiar with the Charlotte, NC area I asked my cousin to scout out a potential session location. She did a fabulous job and took us to Lana Plantation. We were not able to utilize the the colonial buildings, but we still lucked out with beautiful weather and lots of other great outdoor elements!
So, please enjoy the latest bits of my work! Mama to be looks absolutely stunning and dad couldn't be more excited!
The photo above I shot with my 135L. It is a compilation of about 17 photos that I shot individually and then stitched together in post processing. This method is known as the "Brenizer" method. It gives an image an amazing amount of depth, that you wouldn't be able to get shooting with let's say a 35mm. If you're a photographer and haven't tried it, you should! It is a challenge, especially while shooting, since it is easy to miss a frame of the puzzle! It also forces you to get to know your focus and metering settings! And who doesn't love a challenge!?
