You Capture – Black & White |
July 22, 2009 | Filed Under you capture. | 38 Comments |
I particularly loved this week because I could shoot anything I wanted and although I never had a chance to head out and take photos like I wanted, I did get to take photos of Erin’s baby and her family and that fed my soul quite nicely.
I really enjoyed taking photos of Erin and the baby, so beautiful, so powerful, so sweet.
Here are a few of my shots:
The other set is a sneak peek of my new skirt that an amazing Etsy shop owner sent me to wear to Blogher, I’ll give you more details on it later, but it’s AMAZING. In the photo, you can see my toes. I realized recently how much I despise my toes, so the fact that they are making an appearance on my blog is my bravery showing. (and also proves I should take more photos.)
And then my girl, my beautiful six and a half year old. She inspires me and tonight she called me cute.
Now it’s your turn but please read through these really important guidelines first!
Some of you are signing Mr. Linky which is beautiful and awesome but you’re not linking back to You Capture which is NOT beautiful and awesome. So, if you are new here…just a quick run through of the directions (below) would be very much appreciated, k? I will be deleting links for those that aren’t complying this week which is annoying because deleting links is annoying.
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
3. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!
4. Do your best to visit the other participants’ site – everyone loves the traffic, the comments and the feedback (not just you!)
5. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
Thanks, I love you, bye.
FRIENDS.
Happy capturing!
I simply adore how soft and lovely your b&w shots are. I have to tell you that I especially love your daughter and her sweet feet. There’s something so peaceful about the look on her face.

I always adore your shots!
These are fantastic! The one of your toes might be my favorite. And next week’s is friends?? Good one.

I love new baby photos! I hate my toes too, but yours sure look nice in black and white. And your daughter is gorgeous. Thanks for doing B&W–sure enjoyed it this week!
I LOVE that toes picture! Too cute! This is my first “You Capture” and I am thrilled to be participating. I am a long time follower, I figured it was finally time to take the leap! Love your pictures!
Wait a second…Friends…You’re going to BlogHer…daggone you’re sneaky…
Thomas and Luke are so stinkin’ cute. As are Ariel and your toes.
Great shots as always! I’m loving the theme for next week, too!
Well I’ve read your blog for awhile now & I’m a photographer, so its a little embarrassing that I haven’t done this sooner, but better late than never, right?
I totally relate– I posted a toes picture this week too and have been regretting it ever since. And your toes are WAY cuter. Your daughter is right.
I love all of the different tones you’ve captured. Each one suits it’s subject beautifully.
Thanks so much for picking this theme, I love looking at B&W. Your’s are beautiful!
B&W baby pictures are the best. Love them. These are really good – oh, and at least your toenails are painted … it’s all good, really!
I really just squealed out loud at seeing those photos of Luke and Thomas! Love, love, love. I’m glad you were able to get a few good ones, despite the weather.
Also, nice toes. I especially love the polish color and think whoever picked it is REALLY SMART (shut up, I know it’s black and white).
I love that picture of Erin and her baby. It perfectly captures such a tender moment!
I’m loving your photos, and I’m especially loving next week’s theme (even if I did touch on next week in this week’s challenge!)
these are such timeless and beautiful photos!
I love the toes!!!
Erin is one lucky duck to have you to take such awesome photos.
And your dd is right you are cute.
These photos are great! Of course I saw them the first time too. I agree with Andrea…Erin is very lucky that you were there! Have fun at BlogHer!
Wonderful photos.
Stunning. And I can’t get over how much your daughter looks like you in that picture. Very sweet.
You can’t go wrong with Erin and the babes for a subject. Great shots!
Oh, p.s…. I hate my toes too.
Oh beth, these pictures are stunning!
Your daughter is adorable!
Loved them! Great shots. My favorite theme!
Your shots of Erin and her babes are inspired. Great job.
By the way, don’t hate on your toes…they’re cute!
lol I keep posting my link wrong, is there a way to go back & correct it? its http://www.mcqueenphotography.blogspot.com. Thanks!
I love black and white, thanks!
Love your captures, Beth!!! That middle photo of Erin… She totally looks like Drew Barrymore!!!!
And, uh, Ariel’s comment about your cuteness – She tells the truth!!!
I haven’t gotten my Captures up yet – got class in 20 minutes – but I will!!!
I adore your photos, Beth! I especially love the shades of black and white you created. Exquisite, as always!
I love your photos! Your daughter is beautiful.
I love your pictures! They always show the creative side of you and your intense love of life itself!! your daughter is right, you are cute!
if you see a lot of traffic from my blog it’s because i’m lame, making sure links work, putting the wrong link in, all that stuff a bright person would do right the first try
This is my first try so hopefully I have linked my post correctly. Thanks for the fun!
The mom and baby shots are gorgeous. I love the baby’s expression and positioning in the third photo – cracked me up!
I heart the toes.
I love the pics…and Anthropologie
