Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta

I was lucky enough to have a wedding to attend and shoot in New Mexico, that just so happened to occur during the AIBF. To be honest, I wasn't that excited about it. Some hot air balloons, festival atmosphere, no big deal. When I arrived at 5:30 in the morning, I was freezing, and surprisingly amazed! The morning glow was a phenomenal sight, and the mass ascension that followed, was fantastic. At one point, it was honestly, almost overwhelming. We were in the middle of the balloon field standing in the back of a pick-up truck, taking it all in. Being completely surrounded by hundreds of balloons that are filling up and taking off, is an amazing sight to see! Here are just a few of the shots I got while I was there! There will be more up tomorrow on my Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/twoturtlesphotography

 

Re-Start!

So, I "fell off the wagon" so to speak and stopped updating the blog and other things! So here is my pledge: There will be an update to this every week, at the least! But, hopefully, it will be more like every other day! So, to get back on track, we will start with one of the shoots that I had while I was away from here!

These are from a shoot I did with two of the kids. I realized I'm shooting everyone else's life and many candids of our family, but refuse to get theirs done, and forget to do them myself! Haha. So this is the first installment of the children's portraits! It was fun to pose and shoot them! They were so excited to have to pick out their favorite outfits and give me ideas of their own for the shots! Kids are always the most fun to shoot, getting down on their level and playing with them and getting them to have fun, is what makes the shoot for me! It is always my favorite shoot! Well, other than food! Lol Who doesn't like getting to shoot something that you also get to taste afterwards! Anyways, here are my favorites from the Kids shoot! Enjoy and if you want to see more, head over to the facbook page and check them out! http://www.facebook.com/twoturtlesphotography

HELLO!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooo sorry for being gone so long! I got caught up in working for another company and mine had to take the backseat for a bit! Here we are again though! Back on track! This week is from a session that I did with a wonderfully adorable couple who were super fun to shoot! (btw.. I am a little partial for Miss Jamie is my cousin!) They were willing to hike and go anywhere I wanted which was fun and added a little extra adventure to the shoot!

Artist Kate Boone!

I met this lovely lady while I was at The Art Institute of Ohio-Cincinnati. She is such a groovy chick and super pumped to know her! She is such a fantastic artist and is doing big things here in the Cincinnati area!! Keep a look-out! I love the fact that she doesn't limit herself to just one style of painting or design. She is open to trying and inventing new things. Please, please please check out her website and enjoy the things to be seen there! www.kateboone.com/  and I will of course be putting a couple of teasers on here so you will be even more tempted to check it out!

Steve Bloom

Steve Bloom is an absolutely amazing photographer. This is, of course, my opinion, and the majority of the rest of the world. :) He was born is South Africa and began photographing the city during the apartheid. He eventually moved to London and began one of the most notable photographic special effects company. In the late nineties, he went to Africa on safari and became enthralled with wildlife photography. Needless to say, he took this field by storm as well. His pictures are breath-taking. I could look at them everyday, all day. He is a man you should look into if you haven't already heard of him. You will not be disappointed. :) I will of course post some here, but it will in no way encompass his amazing amount of photos. Check his site out, http://www.stevebloomphoto.com/index.html When you are done over there, check out our website or facebook page! There are always new and fun things popping up there! http://www.twoturtlesphotography.com  and http://www.facebook.com/twoturtlesphotography  Have a great day!
