Just before things got really hectic a couple of weeks ago, Hannah and I had the opportunity to photograph a wonderful baby girl. She is precious! She pretty much slept the whole session, well, after a couple of blow-outs from each end… It was great fun and we came away with some wonderful portraits. Here is one of my favorites:

Beautiful Baby

There are times when a studio session is perfect to photographing, and photographing a baby is just one of those times. The lighting can be perfectly controlled, you can work with the baby to capture sleep as well as awake periods and you can use very fun props and backgrounds that set the perfect scene. It is great fun to work with an infant; especially when we’re creating a portrait that will be treasured for generations. Of course, you have to have patience; not everything goes as planned, and you have to be able to go with the flow. After all, the baby is queen! Everything revolves around her. In the end, it’s worth all the trouble.

It is so very cool that we were able to photograph this particular baby; we photographed her parents’ wedding a little over a year ago. What a blessing for us!

Donovan’s Business Portraits

On Friday I photographed Donovan for his web site and printed bio; we enjoyed talking and working to create just the right headshot for his uses. I like to capture a range of expression and poses with coat on and off, formal, informal, full-length, 3/4-length, head-and-shoulders, smiling, laughing, serious and fun. It was great seeing his eyes as we reviewed the images together, knowing we had accomplished what he was looking for. Go check out his personal training website for Busy Women Bootcamps and get to know him and his business.

Joy to Come

Hannah and I photographed a new mother-to-be and her husband this week to capture the anticipation and joy of their baby-in-the-making. Mandy was awesome and you can see in her eyes that this is going to be really cool! We had a great time talking about their life and plans while we were capturing her expressions and obvious joy. As a husband and a dad, this is such an incredible moment in time for me; new beginnings are so filled with anticipation and excitement! While we can do this kind of session almost anywhere, it seems best sometimes to just go for the simple studio backdrop so we can focus on the key elements of the heart as seen in the eyes and shapes of the mom. Congratulations Mandy and Matt!
