International Women's Day

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! :)

Lana | Studio Portrait | SF Bay Area Portrait Photography

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:

California green-s

Hello! How was your week?
It was raining almost all week here in Northern California.
There seems to be some virus going around (and all our family had it – the little one started that cycle :( ) – Everybody around is sneezing, coughing and have runny noses. It makes me want to stay at home all the time, crawl under a fussy blanket with the cup of hot chocolate, or better a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks :) .
But on the Up side - after all this rain and a little sunshine nature starts to show great colors – magnolia trees start to bloom, I think I saw some flowers on cherry trees too. And hills, I bet hills are all green. We need to go for a car trip to check it out!

I installed a new type of gallery for this blog. From now on I will not overwhelm you with the long list of big size images anymore. Instead there will be a gallery of the small preview squares and if you would like to see picture in big size, you just have to click on the preview and the full version photo will slide out. How cool is that?! :)) Click on any picture below to see what I’m talking about:
