362/366 - "Five"

(F/8, 24mm & 100mm, 1/200 sec, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

The photo for today is actually inspired by Jim's 365 Project he did a few years back (Jim's 365th Day Photo Link).  His last photo for his project was a self portrait of him leaning against the dice.  Counting this photo there are five photos left for the year, so the #5 is in white and the red numbers are my countdown.  

To achieve this look I took a macro photo of the dice, and then a portrait of Jonah reaching up to touch the top of the "pretend" dice.  After I had the two photos, I merged them in Photoshop and shrunk Jonah down to size.  He actually thinks the dice are giant since he is the same size.

330/366 - "The Green Family"

(F/8, 65mm, 1/200 sec, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

Greg, Jess, and the kids came over today for a family portrait and some of the kids too.  This was one of my favorites from the day.

Due to the extreme weather conditions today, we completed the kids annual portraits with some outdoor shots.  Check them out at www.pavephotography.com/carenbauer2012.

308/366 - "Annual Photos Outtake"

(F/5.6, 73mm, 1/100 sec, ISO 100, Canon 5D Mk II)

This morning I setup the studio in the garage and took the kids annual photographs.  This is one of my favorites and will probably never make it to print, so it will be considered an outtake.  Later when I was reviewing the photos Harper was looking over myt shoulder and told me that was her "grump" face.
