I have a new favorite photographer - Gina Kolsrud. I don't know how she does it, but she works magic with the light. I read one interview where she said that if given the choice of only one lens, it would be the Canon 85mm f1.2. I have that lens. It's my least favorite. It weighs a ton and is soooo slow to autofocus. But it's the lens I brought with me today on Ailey's 14-month photo shoot. 'Cause I wanna shoot like Gina Kolsrud. I know . . . it's not the lens.
I decided I would try to work with the sunlight more and not be so afraid of it. I also tried to use a shallower depth of field for a more pleasing blurry look. And I also tried to learn more Photoshopping techniques while post-processing these pics. So much to learn.
Ailey was so cute, cute, cute. Constantly moving . . . exploring. It's great that she's mobile now. Just gotta follow her around and keep shooting.

She is the most adorable little girl!!! Love her ponytails!! I will email you some photos that a photographer friend of my daughter's took of Chayse...
Very cool pics...I LOVE her dress !!!
Les, it was waaaaaay easier than trying to get a crying baby posed. Hard part was the autofocus took so long to work that I missed lots of shots.
Can't wait Betty!
Thanks Didi. Ailey does have so cute clothes.
What chubbiness! So ooooooo cute! Kawaiiiii!
I love that lens too, now. Of course, I'm sure you worked some magic too.
