A few months ago I crossed paths with someone I met on a social media site about two years ago. As always, things fell into place just as they were meant to and he became my roommate. He then introduced me to his friend and business partner Chris. My photography became a frequent topic of conversation and he decided to ask if I could do pictures of his precious baby boy Orion who was about to turn six months. Given that we spent quite a bit of time together, I got to hear many stories about him and what an angel of a baby he is. Chris said he was starting to sit up on his own and he would like to have portraits taken of him. While I always enjoy shooting, it's a favorite of mine to be able to shoot people I know because it gives me the chance to capture them in portraits that really show who they are. Chris and his wife Sam gave me full liberty to set up the shoot and I took full advantage of being able to try some ideas I've been working on. This was the first time that I had met Orion and he has to be, hands down, the calmest baby I have ever done portraits of. Happy as can be, interested in everything around him, and with the help of Dad we were able to get these adorable pictures of Orion.
Chris and Sam, thank you for picking me to take these pictures of your baby boy. He is so wonderful and I loved working on this shoot. I look forward to capturing more moments with this chunk. I am so grateful for the chances I have to stop time for friends and I love that I was able to add him to my portfolio. I'm sure there will be more to come.
Enjoy.
