Close. Closer. Closest. The same scene, different messages.

I was trying to get all complicated with building or buying a storage solution for my seamless paper backdrop rolls. Then it dawned on me that their own shipping boxes cut in half would be a perfect fit. A little glue and some tape and voila!

Time to take my decennial selfie. Always so awkward feeling in front of the camera :p

Working this week on my mother's day gift to myself. This is why I always allow extra retouch time for dark furred critters

I spent some time this weekend experimenting with focus stacking ... combining multiple frames to get all the details sharp. Here's a quick peek at my setup: one strobe bounced off the ceiling for broad/ambient light and a speed light down beside the table providing the accent. A couple of small shiny cards popped in a little light on the backside of the macarons. Head over to Instagram (https://buff.ly/2LFYy1U) to check out the results

A little bribery always goes a long way in getting the shy ones to pose :D

Much like the shoemaker's kids, my own pets end up waiting and waiting for their own photoshoot.

So many feels! This family brought a portrait of their beloved pup so that everyone could be with Santa again this year.
