Snug As A Bug.

Dear Jessica, 

As I know you are a constant addition to the blog views I have accumulated over the years, and how you are always on the prowl for new posts. I will take a moment to apologize for the lack of posting I have done lately but I would like make it up to you with pictures of your adorable boy. I figured that you would be willing to accept this trade. ;) 

Sincerely, 

Your favorite photographer. 

Baby Henry has had this shoot planned since forever, basically. I fell in love with his chunky cheeks and little smirks while we shot. Such a sucker for mom, he was as happy as could be while being constantly moved around and stripped to his diaper. Ethan was able to stay up after work to snag some seriously adorable shots with Henry. Jessica kept him snug and happy between shots which made my job all th easier, he is a mamas boy. Of course, getting some pictures repping his team for Henry to always know he started as a Kings fan. I am so happy to be able to be part of these moments and can't wait for more. 

Enjoy.

Little Aria is growing up, as they always do, faster than I can keep track of. It seems like just yesterday I was congratulating Franz and April on the birth of their adorable baby girl being born. She's now one, and is quite the little spit fire. We were finally able to set up a shoot to take pictures of her in all of her one year glory. She was a little hesitant at first but once I got her to warm up to the camera, it was all fair game. Drooling, running around, and sharing all sorts of giggles I was able to capture her spunk. Mom and dad spent a fair amount of time chasing her around as she just wanted to explore everything around her and I loved stopping time as she did. This little girl is going to be a handful but she has some amazing parents that will guide her as she grows. I can't wait to watch and capture more precious moments with her. 

Enjoy. 

From The Stars

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.
