Kristi was invited to a birthday party that was held today. She had a great time, and I took the opportunity to practice some party photography! I don't have parents' permission to share the kidlet photos (except mine and the twins) but here are a couple shots of the fun and frivolity...

Day 131
Just a quick snap today. Nathan was telling me that his friend Connor is moving to Alaska and this was to be his last day at school. Nathan is sad because he really likes Connor.
Can you tell that Nathan bundled himself up? We had that winter stormy thing last night and this morning, and it was icky outside. We told the kids to get bundled against the wind, and Nathan took us seriously!

Day 130
My mother (aka The Goblet Fairy) slipped another little treasure into my purse recently. I didn't find it for several days because I've been something of a homebody, and haven't needed my purse. But today I pulled it out and set it on display in my kitchen window. It really needs sunlight to make the prisms show up, but I had fun placing in on an LED flashlight this evening (we're kinda short on sunlight right now - as I type this we are having a winter storm complete with wind and snow).
Thank you, Mom, for this lovely apple!

Day 129
Once again I was out practicing with my flash and umbrella in my front yard. Yes, people stare as they drive by. Some smile indulgently. Some even laugh. One older woman craned her neck around to keep her eyes on what was going on in our front yard. I don't mind being gawked at. Maybe they'll come to me when they need a photo done.

Day 128
Caleb found this old photo of Nathan (taken when Nathan was 2 years old, so close to 4 years ago)...
...and Caleb wanted one like it. He wanted to pose just like Nathan was. Here's Caleb's pose...
Yep. Looks just like Nathan's. He even argued with me about how his hands should be placed on his face. The little stinkpot.
But at least the lighting is better.

Day 127
I worked on getting my lighting a little less flat (flat light offers little contrast and few shadows - gives less definition to the subject). I attempted to decrease the power of my secondary flash for this shot by bouncing the flash into the white umbrella and moving it further away from my subject.
I had to take some Nyquil to combat this sinus thing, and I'm completely wiped out.
(Thanks for Felice for being my spur-of-the-moment model again.)
