Our Heart Math group has some amazing people in it! Today Vicki asked me to take a photo of her with our leader, Toni, and her good friends, Janet and Carolyn. All of these wonderful women are inspirations to me- I learn so much just being in their presence.
Vicki had no idea who she was dealing with when she asked me to snap a photo with her little point and shoot (which takes wonderful photos). I pulled out my big camera and started talking about settings and finding the light- she might think twice next time!
Group shots- yikes! I should have used a smaller aperture (I used f/4)- didn’t I say that with Grady’s photo???? This is why I need to practice!
I like the first photo best- spontaneous and heart-filled, just like these beautiful women! The second is a more formal portrait, and I like that one too.

What a delightful group of people. These are wonderfully appealing shots. I agree, the first is more fun but they’re both excellent. The lighting is perfect, the black background the right choice, the colors great (I realize you didn’t select their outfits but they work perfectly). You don’t need to fear portraits.
Where did you take this shot? How did you get the black background.
just looking at these ladies makes me wish that I could meet them. They are beautiful and charming!

wow!
these photos are wonderful – you truly captured the heart-field of our total DELIGHT in being together.
thank you so much for stepping into your brilliance and for bringing our love into the frame so beautifully.
I sent this message to you via e-mail, and decided to also post it here because I want to share my praise and gratitude where your community of fans can see it!
This is one of the best (maybe the very best) photos that anyone has ever taken of me!
(for Melinda’s friends – I’m the one second to the left, red hair and light blue sweater)
blessings,
Janet
