As sure as the sun and as calm as the clouds

Thursday, November 25, 2010
Oh hello! Today is my blogisversary. I've been blogging for two years now, but it feels like I've been blogging for eternity. Honestly, I don't know what I did on the computer before I started blogging. So thank you for all the support and kindness you've shown me throughout the years. I can honestly say blogging is the most rewarding things I've ever done.
As sure as the sun and as calm as the clouds
Yesterday I woke up at 6:00 am to take pictures with my friend Erin - part two of a sunset phtooshoot we did last week for Unicorn/Dream Magazine (which will be out later this month). It was 30 degrees outside (about 1 degree celsius) and we were both freezing. Erin's really sweet for my putting up with my crazy antics. I've never done a sunrise shoot before and I must say, I love the morning light. It's softer and less intense and it's got a cooler more blue-ish tone than the golden light at sunset and I am in love.
As sure as the sun and as calm as the clouds

Well folks, I'm signing off early this week. Enjoy your weekend and see you next week!

Micaela, SUCH lovely photographs! The morning light *is* delightful, but boy is it hard to get models to show up in time for it! You're lucky to have such a good friend :-)

Also, Happy Thanksgiving - I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend.

I share your feelings about morning light, and these photos are lovely!

Happy blogiversary, M! :)

Have I not mentioned how amazing your blog is, and how wonderful a talent you are? It's all true.

These are such beautiful photos! I am yet to experiment with the sunrise sun, and tones. I've always been caught with the afternoon heat, and the sunset hues. Perhaps I'll try that the next time I head out for a photoshoot.

Have a beautiful rest-of-the-week, dearest. x

Darling photos! Wish I had the drive to wake up that early to take sunrise photos :)

Isadora Filković on November 25, 2010 11:12 AM said...

Congrats on your blogversary :)

I agree with you, sunrises are better than sunsets for the light is less intense and more poetic. Your new photos are delightful!

I adore these photos!!!!
I am trying to learn how to make my photos come out like that.

What program do you use?

I just launched my website and I would love for you to come visit :) www.lovenbubbles.com

Happy Thanksgiving Sweetie

those are really cute photographs, I like the 2nd one the most

@Summer: Thank you! You mean the lighting? In order to achieve that lighting you should shoot when the sun is low (sunrise & sunset). That's how you get those golden sunrays and soft lighting :)
