On-Location vs Studio Photography

Sometimes I think about having a studio for newborn and maternity portraits, but then I think it may not garner the kind of results I aim for when I do a shoot.
With a studio, you can control all the elements, so it would have the perfect lighting, the perfect temperature, the perfect background, and all [...]

Mother’s Day Lifestyle Shoot

It was a rainy day today, which was perfect for a lifestyle family photoshoot at someone’s home.
Today’s shoot was a feast for me.  We had set-up baby portraits, mom and baby intimate portraits, couple portraits, and editorial/photojournalistic shots of the family doing their ‘thing’!
Curious

Riccardo was wondering who this stranger was who entered their home and [...]

One Month Already?

Oh where oh where has the time gone?
Baby Ava is 1 month old!
“Hey, Mister Giraffe is the same height as I am!”

When I Am Older…
Will I be a singer?  An artist?  A gourmet chef?  The President?  A teacher?  A fruit-picker?
As long as I am happy, my momma says.

The Three Monkeys

Today is Ava’s due date, so I thought I’d muster up the energy to take some photos of my new family of monkeys.
It is hard to imagine carrying Ava until today for she was one jumbo baby that it was difficult to move around!  Thank goodness she came early.
And now that she is here, in [...]

House Call

Ava’s doctor came to our house today for her 1 week old check-up.  Dr Q drove 40 miles to see us.  Shocking, isn’t it?  How many doctors still make house calls?

The second shocking thing about the check-up today is that Ava grew 2″ since birth!  Yep, two INCHES in a week!  That’s just [...]

Coincidence? I think not.

While lying in the comfortable (NOT!) hospital bed only a few hours after I delivered Baby Ava, I found out that my client, Lisa W., was in the same hospital and about to deliver her baby too!
She was due 1 week previous and I was due to deliver in another 2 weeks, so our due [...]

My New Little Monkey

As a photographer, I have so many “favorite” photoshoots…
Photoshoots that had the perfect light; photoshoots of shy kids who ended with giant smiles that surprised even their parents; photoshoots of people who weren’t sure that having a photographer follow them around for a couple hours was something they’d enjoy, but they loved it and do [...]

Zac Part 2

I posted part 1 yesterday because I projected it would take a long time to go through the images from my out-of-town shoot.
This is so typical of me with photography… I ended up staying up late last night to finish going through all the images from Zac’s newborn shoot and worked on editing them today [...]

Brenden Part Two – Textures

For those of you who follow my blog, you know that I am starting to play with textures.  This is Day 2 of Texture Fun!
So I loved the texture I put on Ria’s photo, but do textures work well with babies?  Let’s investigate…
Heart Feet

Mommy In The Mirror

So far, I think the textures work for the [...]

Well-Rested New Parents, An Oxymoron?

Stylin’ in his designer duds and Paul Frank Bugaboo, 11-day old Brenden eats well, cries quietly and only when he’s hungry, and sleeps a straight 4+ hours at night, leaving his parents, Soon and Christine, looking fresh and well-rested for today’s photoshoot!
I was in amazement, can you tell?  Now if only every parent had that [...]

Week Old Twins

Georgia and Lia were born 7 days ago!  They only weigh 4.9 lbs and 5.1 lbs.  Yep, they’re teeny tiny and so precious!
I feel so honored when I do a newborn shoot because the first couple weeks — and sometimes longer — is an adjustment period for the family.  So to invite someone into your [...]
