Every month I participate with other Clickin moms to really push ourselves creatively with a different challenge each month. This month our challenge was shallow depth of field. Shallow depth of field is achieved by shooting “wide open” or using a low aperture. I shoot this way a majority of the time since it’s fitting for portraits. Using shallow depth of field allows your subject to be isolated and sharp but everything else to just blur into the background . It can be tricky sometimes because if your depth of field is very shallow then it can be difficult to achieve really sharp focus! For this month I decided to go very simple to really showcase what shallow depth of field looks like. I shot these with my 50mm at f/1.4. When you are finished looking please head over to Adeena’s blog to see her take on shallow depth of field!

I don’t get to photograph events very often, but when Porter’s mommy asked me to photograph his first birthday party I was so thrilled for the opportunity. This is my 3rd time photographing Porter and his family and I have enjoying so much watching him grow. Happy Birthday Porter!!

Merrick is 6 months old! This is my third time photographer him (you can see his three month session here) and he just keeps getting cuter and cuter. 6 months is definitely my favorite age to photograph. You can just set them somewhere and they actually stay and they are SO smiley at this age. I can’t wait to see you again for you 9 month photos Merrick!
