When you photograph kids, either professionally, or if you are at home with your own kids, one of the most important things is to have your camera ready. Always. Kids surprise you. And if you aren't ready, you may never catch moments like this.
P.S. I had my camera ready. And when I woke up in the morning, as I left my room, I saw the twins hugging. I couldn't believe it. I grabbed my camera and started shooting. They only stayed that way for about a minute and then held hands and walked into the kitchen. Their mommy Aima never even saw them doing this. They just melt my heart.

I think of dappled light as that splotchy patchy light that you see when the sun shines through trees. It's often tough because if you don't watch where the sun is in relation to the people you are photographing, you may see splotches of light and shadow on people's faces.
This weekend I shot group portraits for my wedding in Shelter Island in a shaded area where there was dappled light. I thought I would write about this kind of light, because when I first started I didn't really know how to correct for it, and I would often have little splotches of light or shadow all over some people's faces. For these family portraits this weekend, I made sure to position the sun BEHIND the people in the wedding so that there was still dappled light on the ground, but not on their faces. If you put the sun in front of them, even though the trees are shading most of the light, there is often a chance that some people will appear patchy. It looks bad and it is hard to expose properly.
What do you do when you see dappled light? Do you run from it? Or do you use it?
P.S. The sun was shining just behind me but very high in the sky through that gorgeous tree in Sonoma, California a little to picture right. Notice the dappling on the ground. The light is even on my face (even though you can't see very much of my face! ;)) because the light is coming from behind me.

I was in Sonoma at the beginning of the month. While I was there, I photographed Xandra and Rob's engagement session at one of their favorite wineries: Lynmar. This winery was stunning. The flower/herb/vegetable gardens are so colorful and alive. We had so much fun playing all over the vineyard.
Bright blue eyes. Vineyards. Love. Hot sun. Rose wine. Bees. Vines. Tall grass. Old trucks. Apples trees. Green. Peacock cries (the most unusual sound EVER... we couldn't figure out what kind of animal it was! ha!). Butterflies. Redwoods. Hot pink rhubarb. Laughter.
P.S. Did you notice the fine print on the "Fun things to do" shot? ;)
P.P.S. There are even more to see on my facebook page.
I was in Shelter Island this weekend shooting a wedding. It was incredible to be out there on the water photographing an adorable couple. More to come on that and the other shoots I have been busy with, but I wanted to share our new puppy's name: Gizmo.
