Sunday Afternoon

Greetings everyone.  I hope you are enjoying the weekend.  Today is the day after the storm and it is still cloudy but the rain has stopped.  Some cities in Minnesota had as much as 4 1/2 inches of rain last night.  The Sever Weather Sirens went off in Burnsville last night.  We lost a small tree next to our building in Lakeville so we feel like we got pretty easy.  It could have been so much worse.   I am ready for some sun now.
Here is a video about Portrait Photography by Professional Photographer, Peter Hurley.  It is just head shots but there are links to some other Portrait tutorials at the bottom of the page.

Here is an article by Professional Photographer, Brian Jones, that I found the Picture Correct website about Spring Photography.  Spring is probably my favorite time of the year and there are so many things blooming that it is a Photographer's paradise.  I love the shot he took with the sunrays breaking through the clouds.

Yesterday my Photo Buddy, Tina, and I attended the Raptor Release at Hyland Nature Center in Bloomington.  The weather was not ideal but we went anyway and it was really fun.  It did start to rain when they were releasing the birds so that was a bummer.  The University of Minnesota Raptor Center really does a great job.  Here is a link to some of the pictures I took yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon I took pictures of my Granddaughter and her friends in their Prom attire.  Everyone looked wonderful of course.  I am not going to deny being biased on this one.  Here is a link to some of the shots from our Photo Shoot.
Coming up on Thursday, May 17th is the Taste Of Lakeville event in Downtown Lakeville.  Tickets are $30.00 which is lower than a lot of these type events.  For more information click on the link below.
Today's Thought For The Day is by Darlene Larson Jenks:
"To do nothing is failure.  To try, and in the trying you make some mistakes and then you make some positive changes as a result of those mistakes, is to learn and to grow and to blossom."
Be sure to check out the Inside The Frame Studios and Miracole's Candy Shoppe Facebook pages.  We are running some specials this week for our Facebook friends for Mother's Day.
