Default My kind of ladybug

You guys didn't really thing this was an insect did you?!?! This little girl screamed for about a half an hour that she didn't want her pictures taken, lol I let her play with my camera and take pictures and then she was all ready to be in front of the camera. I can't believe it actually worked. I thought I was going to leave empty handed. She was so fun though once she became comfortable with me.
I need to fix the shadows on the right hand side of this one.

A dork you may be.
Non the less a dork with extraordinary talent.
I love these not just for there quality, but for the thinking on the go you had to apply to get them.
Great work.

Very professional studio shots! Great lighting set up and awesome model, though she's not really happy at the beginning!

I think that is the cutest ladybug I have ever seen! She is a doll. What a sport you are to let her play with your camera. I'd be smiling too after that! Great thinking.

Your photos are amazing Ruthie, you have such a talent for putting your little subjects at peace and getting the very best out of them.

Ruthie, this is an excellent set, she is much nicer than any ladybug I ever shot. They are all beautiful, but the last one is my fav. I must say however, you are very good at these portrait shots.

Ruthie Mae, somehow all the ladybug pictures I take don't have catchlights like yours! Precious shots and kudos on getting her to warm up to you.
