Baby Olivia - "Newborn Photography"

Baby Olivia - Preview - Newborn Photography

Photographed Art & Sarita, the proud new parents of beautiful Olivia who was born roughly a month ago. Both Mom & Dad came to the table with their own ideas they wanted to incorporate into the shoot. Mom likes to cook, so she wanted to put baby Olivia into a old-school baking mixer which was pretty cute. And Art is a DJ and wanted to use his turntable & headphones which was absolutely awesome. I truly love folks that throw ideas my way and we all creatively come up with the final outcome. When clients give just a little input on what they are looking for they love the photos that much more once they get all the final images.
Below is a preview of the one of the images before I finish the rest of the images.
I wonder if Olivia liked being a DJ for the day?

Margaret, Art, Fiona & John - Family Photos

Met up with Margaret and her family the other day to take some photos in and around her house which was a lot of fun. I've known Margaret since middle school and my wife Michele has known her since preschool. Michele came along on this shoot to catch up with Margaret and also help me out a little with the little ones. Fiona & little John were just way to cute and did a great job in front of the camera. Fiona was just way to cool I must say. She had to show us her room with all her toys, jewelry & books which was very entertaining. Set up only a couple portrait shots and the rest of the images were just candids. We got some really good images finishing the photo shoot off in Mom & Dad's bedroom. Fiona performed her Roly Poly dance for us and it was definitely the cherry on top for the images.

Little Gabriella - Born 12.17.10

Photographed little Gabriella the other day for her birth announcement pictures. Back in December I took the maternity photos for Gabriella with her Mom, Dad & sister. Here is the "link" for her maternity photo shoot. Spent a few hours with Gabriella getting a lot of good photos of her awake and sleeping. Photographing infants you just have to be patient and hope the little one sleeps for a majority of the shoot. Gabriella was just resting her eyes most of the shoot and would give these cute little grins every so often. By the end of the photo shoot she was definitely spent and was absolutely not going to give me anymore photos, period. We ended up with a really nice batch of images and I think her Mom & Dad will be pleased.
Special thanks Natalie (Mom), Chad (Dad) & Maddie (Sister)!
