Baby Noah

My sweet friend had her third lil’ angel.
Isn’t he such a cutie?

She let me come and smother him with my camera before he was even a day old.
(Just 14 hours old)

Sucking his thumb.

 Still wanted those lil’ legs tucked up.

Thanks for letting me come and see you so soon after having your lil’ one Ali!

Welcome to the world lil’ Noah.

Aren’t these two just the cutest?

I love how they both had to shrug during their smiles. So cute!

Baby Charlie

I had so much fun with this photo shoot.
How could you not with such a cooperative little model?
This little man is going to be quite the heartbreaker when he’s older.

I love this one.

What a cute lil’ bum.

I love how he has his lil’ hand. This photo shoot giving you a headache lil’ buddy?

Yum!
He was being sooo patient with me.

He was so alert and attentive, I couldn’t believe how he’d look straight into the camera.

Tiny lil’ hand.

Perfect for eating.

So I tried this new ring shot… poor kiddo didn’t like them on his toes, wiggled his feet like crazy to get them off.
Which do you like better?

I snapped a few quick mommy shots… the lighting was off, but still think they are sweet.

Thank you Rachel for letting me capture your sweet new little one.
Give him an extra snuggle for me, and I may be back to beg for some more shots.

PS Novice

So I haven’t the slightest clue how to use photoshop.

I’m resolved to learn.
Here is my first attempt at using some photoshop actions to enhance a picture.

Here is the original picture:

My color enhancements:

and in black and white:

Let me know what you think.
I really liked the image in its raw form… were the enhancements worth it?

Baby Daniel

I was really bummed with my work.
Such an adorable little guy and

Most of my pictures came out blurry. *sigh*

Here are a few of the decent ones.

See, he wasn’t too happy with my work either.

Oh well.
Practice makes perfect.

Sparkly

I think I’m obsessed.

With eyes.

How could I not be when I find some as sparkly as these?

And check out his little sister’s.
Amazing.

I wish I had a better one of their older brother’s eyes. His are just as stellar.

Art

I had a friend ask me to take some pictures of her husbands paintings so they can sell them. It was a completely different animal making sure the camera is square and steady with the paintings to avoid skewing the image.

Just had to share these beautiful paintings.

Love the colors in this one. Beautiful.

I love how magical this one seems. Almost like there are faires hiding behind that mushroom, or behind the trees.

These pictures don’t do it justice. They are incredible paintings. Check it out up close.

Almost looks like a picture, not a painting.

I’ll try and post some more pictures soon.
There have been three more babies born here, so hopefully I can beg for a photo shoot with one or all of them.

Brand New

Brand new baby, with a brand new photographer.
What a combination.
But, he was wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for a better baby to work with my first time.
