Well here I am in my office today preparing a proof gallery from a recent outside session. I feel like I’ve been looking at a lot of grass in portraits recently so for a change of scene, here’s a few from one of my newborn family sessions held at the studio. This was a return visit for this family as I had photographed the little girl when she was just a couple of weeks old. My how time moves on! It was a fun session!
When this lovely newborn girl came to visit for her newborn portraits she slept quite peacefully for almost the entire session. There was one brief moment when she opened one eye! I always love working on a few mother baby moments as part of the shoot. Some Moms do not feel they are completely got together so soon after giving birth but its never about having to look straight into the camera lens and pose it’s about spending some quite minutes up close with your precious bundle. I think some of my favorite portraits of from these set ups.
I am playing catch up with a few of my sessions held later in 2012. Now were are well into the new year I just want to send belated new years greetings to my good clients and all following the blog. I wish you a wonderful 2013.
Here’s two of my favorite images from a newborn session in studio. The sister also came to visit for a few portraits along with Mom and Dad. We had a few fleeting moments in front of the camera which is very normal with toddlers. I mean, why be in front of the camera when there’s better things to do! I think the sibling portrait has a really lovely feel to it.
I am just about to start work preparing portraits for this family so I thought it an appropriate time to post some images from the session here on my blog. This happened to be a really lovely warm Fall evening which worked great for these young children. Mom had a very hard time choosing portraits as there were so many special images. Likewise I had a difficult time making my picks for the blog too!
As always, it was great to photograph these children once again for their annual Fall photo session. This year, the meet place was their back yard. This worked out perfectly for the youngest sibling. Being in familiar surroundings can be an ideal for very young toddlers so a garden or backyard with some open shade works very nicely.
This was a session every photographer would rather avoid. Nothing to do with the family who were wonderful. In fact the girl was one of the best almost 3 year old’s I have photographed. The problem was the weather. We were happily working our way through the session when a thunderstorm popped up out of nowhere. We had to relocate to two different locations until we got enough distance from the storm to complete the shoot. All ended well and we have some gorgeous portraits. Thank you to the family for being most accommodating and very relaxed about the unforeseen circumstances!
This is the first newborn baby to visit my studio and sleep the entire session. This beautiful baby girl opened one eye just a tiny bit for a couple of seconds and that was it! It was great to also see her brother who I had also photographed as a newborn. He is now a busy young toddler and preferred some action down at the park to camera time. Quite understandable! I just loved working on these proofs. I prepared the viewing gallery ahead of time, as I could not keep my myself away from the images.
This family was so relaxed and easy going. It made the whole session fun for everyone including me and we created some memorable portraits for the family to cherish.
This was a beautiful session. My pick for the blog happens to be all sleeping poses but this newborn girl was quite awake for some of the session. The result was a great mix of images. Mom and Dad made some great wall portrait choices. The trio of standouts they selected looked really stunning when they came back from the lab!
Such a fun session with these children. We got a great mix of group shots with all the children together and also some individual candid moments. When you put them together they made such a memorable collection of images. We’ve just finished preparing some special portraits from the shoot. Can’t wait to get them back from the lab. I think they are going to look wonderful.
