Today is an International Women’s Day!
It’s a big holiday in Eastern Europe. It’s like an equivalent to Mother’s Day here in US.
Ladies, I want to wish you happiness, love and good luck! Stay as beautiful as you are already! :)

So far I’ve been shooting (=taking pictures) in natural light. I really like it, I like shadows, shades and different color of the light during day. I like the flexibility of putting my subject \ model in front or on the side of the light source (=sun). I like the natural looking surroundings, backgrounds – whether it’s a backyard in San-Francisco East Bay, or Tilden Park in Berkeley hills, or Emeryville downtown (or IKEA :)).
But I also don’t want to stand still and do all the same settings over and over again.
So when my friend Lana asked, if I want to accompany her for her Studio Photography Shoot, I couldn’t pass up that opportunity :) I wanted to go and see how other photographer work in the studio settings and lighting. I was also hoping to get a chance to take pictures there myself :)
And I did! :) Here are the results:

Does your child play video games?

I came across these coupons made by Louder Than Words Photography. You can download these adorable vauchers and print them in unlimited amount to “pay” to your child.
If you know how to use Photoshop, you can edit them, because the files are in PSD format.
