day at the museum

by peta on May 31, 2010

Yesterday we explored the museum, it’s crazy to me that the twins are big enough to be little museum going people now! Kieran was there too, but with them being such busy, independent toddlers, it is easier when they are on foot just to take charge of one each. Although I suspect maybe it is them taking charge of us!

Photo Info:
Canon 5D
24-70mm 2.8 L
Aperture Priority (busy toddlers, busy place)
Settings all over mostly f 3.5 & ISO 1600-3200

bathing boxes

by peta on May 13, 2010

The twins had a grand ol’ time running in and out of the little alleys between the bathing boxes at the beach this chilly autumn afternoon

I like to call that one on the right “camouflage at the beach”

Clover was there too, but she is on photo strike. Far too busy for photos.

Settings all over. Mostly f 3.2 with varying shutters and ISO’s

MAEVE

by peta on April 30, 2010

remember this cute lady? That is my friend Kate. And she is a super talented, clever person. She has put many many long nights into designing and putting together this fabulous new online magazine, MAEVE. It is full of beautiful things and interesting, smart reads. And at long last, the launch is today! Kate, you should be proud. I am!

Rachel and I have a fashion spread in there that was so.much.fun to shoot and edit. So much fun. It was really great to step outside of our comfort zones and do something a bit kooky! The models rocked it, each of them were perfect for the shots we needed. You can see the shoot in it’s entirety over at MAEVE, but here’s a little sneak peek

The final page is also a shot of mine, which was a sweet surprise!

Grab yourself a cup of tea and head over there!

an evening stroll

by peta on April 29, 2010

if they could go anywhere in the world, it would be for a stroll around the neighborhood (preferably with a stop at the playground, but they were out of luck today) but if they had their way, the cameras would most definitely not be along for the trip.

my how they have grown

by peta on April 20, 2010

what a difference 17 months makes…

a couple more for cuteness’s sake…

and a few fun out-takes, getting 2 busy toddlers and a 5 year old in one frame looks a bit like this…
