I love window light. I am pretty sure this isn’t the first time I have said that here on the blog. I use the light coming in my windows to create photos ALL THE TIME. I can’t tell you how many folders on my computer are named “So and So by the Window!” I should probably count. I am guessing you’d laugh.
One of the reasons I love window light so much, is that it has many different “looks.” It can be flat and soft or directional and dramatic. Today’s post is all about the dramatic light! Dramatic window lighting is created by placing your window to the side of your subject. It doesn’t have to be EXACTLY to the side–just approximately. This type of lighting highlights the shape and form of your subject. It also gives the photograph a dramatic mood.
The other day, while my son was eating his lunch, he was being cute and silly. He eats his lunch by the window and I noticed the pretty light and grabbed my camera. These photos are good examples of the dramatic window light I love.
Also, my digital SLR Photography Classes start next week. I am not accepting any more registrations for the 1-day class. However, If you are interested in the 4-week class, there is still room. I’d love to help you learn how to use your camera better. You can register for the classes by going to my Photography Class site.

My 2 year old has been really anxious to ride any bike that anyone will help him on. The problem was we didn’t really have a bike for him. The trike we had from the other kids had been sitting in our garage minus one wheel after I backed over it in the van a few times (I think we have now trained our kids not to park bikes behind the cars!)
So, last week, I ordered some replacement parts and got the trike in working order. He has loved it. Now we just need to learn to pedal FORWARD!!

Two years ago, my girls met and became good friends with a girl from Scotland who was here visiting family in America. They kept in touch and were so excited to find out that she would be here again this summer for 6 weeks. They spent their time catching up, making a clubhouse, swimming, riding scooters, talking about all the differences between America and Scotland, and eating popsicles. They were so sad to see her leave. A few days before she headed home we took these photos (and lots more) and they all have them hanging in their rooms.
We can’t wait for her next visit!

I know I have been missing a bit this week. I have had a horrible cold and headache for the last 9 days that has left me feeling yucky and sleep deprived. I don’t have any great photography tips for you today. But yesterday, while outside trying to get some good example photos for my Photography Classes, I caught these photos of my daughters. I am their mom and I think they all are amazingly beautiful–inside and out! They are growing up and I am proud of them.
