A question I hear a lot... " Do you still take close ups of the face? You don't post many on your blog..."
Well..yes I do. I always do. So I go back to my blog... and I realized.. they were right!
So... this is my tribute to the close up...broken up into parts. (..because I tend to get tired after resizing a lot of pictures! ha-ha!)
ok.. I just realized.. some aren't THAT close.. but close enough to focus on the subject..and not the scene. Well... Part II.. I will get closer!
Some quick news...
I will be launching a new alwphotography site in about 2 weeks (fingers crossed...) this will go along with my big announcement that will go along with my website launch.
Hiring.... Im looking to hire two personal assistants. These positions would work well for college students who are in the design field. If you're interested please email me anytime at audrey@alwphotography.com or call on Thursday or Friday ONLY at 630-664-1171. Applicants need to reside in the Chicagoland area.
Audrey,
I laughed out loud when I saw that you want to hire 2 personal assistants. I would say the minimum you need is 4....2 for work to be your 'briefcase boys/girls' and for the administrative who-ha, 1 to do all the running around for you personally and 1 to give you endless massages throughout the day! I think that might cover it all!
Get some rest!
By the way, when I explained to Gabriella why we postponed the photo session because of a lack of light, she said, "Does Audrey know we can turn on the lights?" When I explained to her that we needed NATURAL light and it was too dark outside today she said, "Does that mean I have to sleep all day?"
Ahhh, the pricelessness and beauty of a child's innocence!
Can't wait for you to take the photos on the 8th. Danielle is crawling with so much more 'gusto' now and I'm hoping in another few weeks she'll be able to hold onto stuff while standing and you can get incredible photos of her!!!! Every inch of her improved strength brings tears to my eyes....
Good night!!!!

Wish I could be your assistant, would love to learn things from you :) But there is a big ocean between us LOL
Anyway I just love your upclose photos, always so bright and colourful.
Thank you for your email you sent me a couple of weeks ago. Have been on holiday so I couldn't respond sooner. It was a question about what lens you prefer. You helped me a lot thank you.
