Making up for lost time

Just trying to make up for lost time. Here are a few more. A better picture of the tutu and some white background practice shots.

In case you are interested in making your own tutu, here are the quick and dirty instructions:

You will need:

Tulle - any color, I used 5 yards on this tutu in one color (peach) and then I used maybe a yard in the white.

Elastic or ribbon (you pick)

1) Cut your tulle straight across your tulle, widthwise (I left it folded) in 4-6 inch strips
2) If you have a small child, measure your elastic or ribbon and cut it.
3) Stretch your elastic or ribbon along the back of a chair and tie so that it doesn't slip.
4) start putting your tulle on the elastic or ribbon, I folded it in half (remember it is still folded from when you bought it) and tied it to the elastic or ribbon. Do this with all of your tulle, alternating colors if you use more than one. After you have it all together, either sew the ends of the elastic together and adjust your tulle to cover any exposed elastic. Add more tulle if you need to.

Hope this makes sense. 

I have been so busy!

I have been so busy lately. I have had a shoot every weekend for a while now. This is one of my recent shoots. This little boy wanted nothing to do with me or my camera. He even hid his face at first. By the end he was more willing. His little sister was more than eager to smile for me. I have heard from the mom and he says he wants to take more pictures with me. Yay!!! 

I made a tutu

I saw this on I love photogrpahy (ILP). So, Allison and I made a few tutu via the telephone. I am happy with them. I made this one first, peach and white then made a few more. One blue one that I posted earlier. I have been having fun.
