Kids, dogs, tutus oh what fun!!!!

My friend came out for September long weekend. She brought her dogs (Ally and Zinnie) with her. We had a lot of fun, celebrated my birthday and took tons of pictures.

A little bit of fun

Trying to get an almost 3 yr old to stop twirling for a pic is almost impossible.

My sick man even got in the mood today to pose for a few pics. He likes to act all cool now and then but... This is what I get most of when the camera comes out.

Bright pink backdrop makes for really bad color casts. I still need to work on her hair to tone it down.

We have been sick all this week and I haven't picked up my camera since Christmas. So I took it out today and put up some makeshift backdrops. I really need to invest in actual backdrops and a wider lens. It is too tight in my living room to get body shots.

Adding in one more I just worked on. I used my sb600 for this shot. I am still getting used to an external flash but think we are going to become good friends.
