Light and shadows. The Yin and Yang within my photography. I so admire photographers that seamlessly incorporate beautiful shadows, directional lighting, and Rembrandt triangles in their daily work. I have this really bad habit of shooting in flat light. It’s boring. I know.
So, Isla and I spent the morning surveying the light within our apartment and capturing a few of our favorite moments, in various lighting. Applause is always welcome. xx
Peeking on the neighbors.
Tickles on the bed.
Storytime
And mama’s favorite moment, nap time.
Please continue the circle by checking out my dear friend Katrina Baker, and her view on light and shadows.
Dani, you didn’t have ANY problems coming up with a beautiful set of dramatic light images! These are all so so beautiful. She is just the most adorable little blondie! It’s hard for me to even pick a favorite but your sleeping shot is amazing, with the light, framing, and your comp. Just perfect, in my opinion!
dani! these are so beautiful, every single one. that giggle in the second one–be still my heart. and i love that miss isla and my son sleep the same way 
. you know that i’m such a huge fan of your work <3
She’s getting so big, look how she’s almost filling up the whole crib now! These are great, I’m in love with the second one. ♥
Dani…these are all beautiful! Love her laughing! Beautiful light in all of them!
Dani, these are all gorgeous!!! I love them all, but the crib one has my heart. I love seeing your amazing talent grow every.single.day! Beautiful work! <3
I seriously can’t pick a favorite!
Dani, these are so lovely! You did such a beautiful job of finding those perfect pockets of light. I think my favorite is the crib shot, though it’s so hard to pick a favorite — they are all wonderful!
That last one made me gasp, Dani! I love the way the small pocket of light is illuminating the delicate features of her face. Beautiful!!!
Beautiful Dani! I think I need you to mentor me!!
These are so beautiful, Dani. I can hear her laughing in #2! I love the progression of the images – from subtle light and shadows to more dramatic as she slips away into her dreams. <3 Wonderful!
Beautiful, Dani! Love the image of Miss Isla napping. Gorgeous light! The 2nd image is such a great authentic moment… I can hear her laughing.
Beautiful work, Dani! I just adore her expression in #2.
Dani….these are GORGEOUS! Every one of them….her fabulous genuine smile in that 2nd one! Love the reading one, love! And the crib is just perfect! Beautiful images of your darling girl
Dani, I love these. And that crib shot is beautiful…. it makes me wish I still had one small enough to put in a crib
When nothing else is going right… we go to the beach. And then everything seems to fall into place.
Oh Dani, I so completely understand this! We always head to the beach when things are amiss, too. Beautiful picture, I hope things are back to normal for you soon!
