Beautiful, your pictures have a nice soft and quiet feel to them.
Love the photos!! Amazingly beautiful boys š
Your pictures are beautiful! I enjoy taking photos but I don’t have a nice camera (right now I just have a cheap point-and-shoot)…I’m wondering what kind of camera you use?
Thank you š
I use a Nikon D700 and 2 lenses. The 50mm 1.4 and the 85mm 1.4G
Breathtaking pics. What camera is being used here ?
Thank you š
These were all take with the Nikon D700 and a 85mm 1.4G lens š
Beautiful post – your images are full of heart and soul! Thanks!
HOLY CRAP PEOPLE!!!
Thank you SO much for all your lovely comments! I don’t even know what to say! I’m freaking out here!!!! I’m absolutely blown away š
For everybody that’s asking, these were all taken with a Nikon D700 and a 85mm 1.4G lens
Love the photo of the boys in the tree. Looks like you all had a great time.
I really love these pictures, amazing photography. As others probably already asked, I would love to know what equipment you are using ?
Marvellous, silent and delicate… I’d liker to put some poems of mine on this lovely pictures that you offer so kindly!
Thanks.
beautiful photography!
Great shots. I especially enjoyed the 2 boys up in the tree. The lower contrast gave a soft, memory-like effect to the scene.
Fantastic post! Those photos are sensational. Very beautiful indeed.
Wow – thanks for taking us along.
How peaceful! Just what I needed at the end of a long day in front of the screen. Thanks!
great job. All are candid. Nice purposeful blur. Beautiful indeed.
the macro photos are the ones i have been trying to take. i will try again as i am inspired!
Unreal beautiful. Your boys are sweet, but what really got me was the photo of the feather in the twig. Breathtaking!
Amazing!! Especially love the pic with the lone feather in it… the soft fluffiness of the feather contrasted with the geometric harshness of the twig…pure art…
I love the way you have captured such softness and warmth in your photographs…inspirational…
Thank you for sharing–it took my breath away! Where would we be without beauty?
Beautiful photos š

Beautiful photos š
These are stunning! Do you mind sharing what camera you use?
amazing pics… they truly capture beauty in simple things we usually overlook and the last 2 are adorable
wow, beautiful pictures!
amazing photos. I aspire to create images like that one day.
It is important to find beauty where you are.
I love the heart…beautiful work and congrats on being freshly pressed..
Talented (:
amazing, lovely, wonderful thanks .:)
such a beautiful light and innocence in your shots. wonderful.
Its awesome blog
3 things.
1.) Superb!
2.) Tutorials please (treatment, exif)
3.) Thank you very much for such wonderful shots.
Those li’l children are so adorable! Your photos are so light to my eyes it soothes my weary head. š Thanks for sharing! ^^
Fourth image down… plant growing out of gravel – shallow depth of field. Was that the 85mm lens alone wide open, or did you create that narrow band of ‘in focus’ with Photoshop (or equivalent)?
nothing added in PP, shot with the 85mm 1.4G at f1.8. This lens is incredibly sharp and just a plain dream š
Wow… I can’t get over how sharply defined the limits are. I would have expected a softer transition from sharp to out of focus. I’ve always gone with f2.8 glass, mostly because my lenses weren’t available in a faster form (or available at a price lower than my first-born). The 85mm is worth watching for… just that much narrower than my 105mm.
Nice work and thanks for the response!
beautiful photos.. and the kids are adorable.
absolutely beautiful. reminds me not to sweat the small stuff
The pictures are just full of emotions… I love them!
Gorgeous shots.
Oh wow:’o)
Your photos are beautiful! The DoF in the one with the flower sprouting out of the sidewalk is amazing! May I ask what lens you used? And I apologize if I am just asking something that has already been asked/answered. I didn’t wade through all the comments before commenting myself. Your boys are handsome little devils š
thank you š Handsome little devils hits the nail on the head… š
I used the Nikon 85mm 1.4G at 1.8, no worries for asking š
I want that lens so bad! I use my 50mm 1.4 all the time, but I’ve been eyeing that 85mm for some time. And the 24-70mm, too. Too bad that one is $2000.
absolutely outstanding ..
wow I love these photos, they are beautiful and so peaceful š
Love your pictures!!
Gorgeous! Your photos blow me away!
Very beautiful photos, you are very talented!

Congratulations. Stunning photos.
I read your About Me and I must say you really love those two kids that they were included on this post — on your definition, through photographs, of BEAUTY. Of course! I also have a son who, no matter how hard headed, still is a BEAUTY to me. Love all the photographs, BTW. Congratulations!

Amazing use of focus, what camera do you use, if I may ask?
Black and white truly is a beautiful method of capturing life’s finest moments. The pictures you’ve taken only show proof of that.
Liked and Followed. You have a collection of beautiful photographs and I’d love to see more.
