March for Babies!

I was happy to hang out at the March of Dimes - March for Babies this morning. Nesting.com asked me to work at their booth, shooting portraits of the attendees. I photographed 150 portraits in 4 hours. Whew! I was worn out!! But, it was a lot of fun! Here's a quick sampling.

Baby #2

There must be something in the water. :) Several of my long-time, favorite clients are bringing Baby #2 to me! One of my favorite things is to photograph a baby throughout his or her first few years, watching that tiny baby grow into an independent preschooler! My next favorite thing is watching him or her become a big brother/sister!

Here's a recent session. You might recognize big brother "J" from earlier posts on this blog - specifically "before and after". Here he is with his little brother "R". How cute are they?

Campaign for Real Life!

One of my photographer friends in Charleston, South Carolina - Misty Woodward - has started this awesome website - CAMPAIGN FOR REAL LIFE - "Only YOU Can Prevent Lifeless Photography!" It cracked me up. She's asking you to pledge not to go to the chain photo studios. LOL!

Here's a quote from the website -

Stop putting your family, yourself and your children through these nightmare sessions with unskilled and untalented chain "picture" studios. PICTURES! That's all they are. A piece of paper with an image on it.

DEMAND life. DEMAND real expressions. DEMAND that your photographer interacts with you, your family and your children on a personal level. Don't settle. There is a difference! You know there is! Try a real life photographer (aka. independent photographic artist) and find out exactly what the difference is! It is much more than price alone! We invite you to take the pledge and show the world that you won't settle for mediocre photography any longer!!! SAY NO TO CHAIN STUDIOS! SAY NO TO LIFELESS PHOTOGRAPHY! SAY YES TO TRUSTING YOUR MEMORIES ONLY TO REAL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHERS!

In case you don't know me yet, YES! I'm a REAL LIFE PHOTOGRAPHER!

Pretty Princess!

I've had a lot of fun photographing a BUNCH of cute babies lately - lots of boys, though. Here's a pretty princess to share with you!

How cute is that! I expect her to be riding that beautiful dog like a pony before too long! LOL!

Cuteness Runs in This Family!

This is Mr. "B". He's 9 months old now. I first photographed his big sister when she was a newborn. She was in my "Baby Steps" club, and now he is, as well. And, I have to say it - they are both just as cute as cute can be! It definitely runs in the family. :)

Here he is with big sis. For more about her, see the next post.

Fun Before & After

I have been blessed to have photographed Miss "B" since she was a newborn. She was about 8 or 9 months old when I shot this portrait. It is one of my all-time favorites and quickly became one of my "signature" portraits, defining what has become part of my style - bright, close-up, big eyes! Last week, I went to photograph her little brother's 9 month old session, and I couldn't resist catching this updated version of that favorite image. She's 2 1/2 now, but you can definitely tell it's the same bright-eyed, little beauty!

Here's her little brother's version of the shot. I'll post a sneak peek of his session next...

Recent Family Favorites

I had the pleasure of photographing this great, extended family recently. I call these sessions "Family Reunion Sessions".

Sneak Peek!

Here's a sneak peak at "J". How cute is he!? He was absolutely adorable, and so SWEET. He made us work for those smiles, but aren't they worth the effort? I think so!






The full session will be online by the end of the week.
