A model and a lizard

We spent Mother's Day at my mom's house. I brought Katie's dress to do some modeling pics. It was chilly out, so we had to work fast. My mom had some Hershey's kisses so that helped speed the process along.

3. This one cracks me up, such a poser.

My son who you never see because he is waaaaaay too cool for the camera these days. I was singing party like a rock star which made him smile even though he didn't want to.

He loves to look for these nasty lizard things under rocks. He was very excited for me to take a pic of it. Ewwwwwww.

Aww, I love #1. What a pretty background. It's nice to see Mr. Dylan too. It's been a while!! He is such a boy. I wouldn't touch that lizard to save my life!! (And I love how dirty his hand is!)

Oh, these are wonderful! I also love the lizard shot...classic boy for sure. Love Katies "posing" pic...darling! Would you mind giving your settings for these? I love the bokeh you got.

I love your daughter's hair! The first pic is my favorite, because of the beautiful background. Eww about the salamander, I wouldn't touch it, but it makes an awesome picture!

Thank you everyone. I used the 85mm on all of these. F-1.4 on the Katie and Dylan pics, and f-3.5 on the lizard. ISO 100 for portraits, 800 for lizard.

You always get great ones of Katie but my favorite here is the one of D. Great smile in that one. The lizard is cool too. Such a boy thing.
