Having just covered Lauren and Dan's wedding a couple months ago, it was great to be able to catch up with them again while we did some maternity shots for Lauren. Having a history in acting, she definitely knows how to work with the camera, and that made it great to move easily from one idea to the next. It was only a few hours, but Im quite happy with the shots we got...
Sebastian's First Birthday
I wish I had had birthdays like this when I was a kid. Well, actually I probably wouldn't have appreciated my own personal Ice Cream AND Bbq truck, on site, all to myself (... and guests... I guess). This was a fun afternoon at Camp Marydale, which was a place I remember from my childhood as it was one of the places we frequently went with school for fieldtrips. It's changed alot from the little I remember, but it's definitely looking like a great place these days! I was happy to be able to shoot for Monika, John, and their kids as they celebrated their newest's first birthday. Having just had Nash's first birthday party a few months ago, I cant imagine trying to organize an event like this with 3 other kids as well! But, my time is coming... soon enough. They did a great job, and while he's too young to remember now, hopefully when he's older, Sebastian will be able to look back at these shots to see the great day his parents put together for him. Here are a few of my favs...
Baby Johnny
It's always nice when a customer comes back. For anyone who has looked far enough back in the journal here, you will recognize Christina from a wedding acouple years back. Her and Ivan recently had a little boy and wanted to get some photos of him after his baptism. I was happy to shoot for them for a couple hours, and it was nice to have him and my son Nash play together for a while as well. The greatest part though was truly the discovery of the plush square farm animals, which are apparently available at Pottery Barn. How appropriate.
“When I look through these pictures, the best that you captured is the absolute joy our son has, and has given us. I’m smiling from ear to ear!
-Christina”
Erika's Maternity
The other day I did some maternity shots for Erika, who is a friend of my wife's. Not only was it a good photo day, it was also a chance for Nash to meet a new friend, Erika's first son, Luke. They had fun playing with Christine while Erika and I worked on the shots.
“I sent some to Ed, and he teared up... He is not usually in touch with his feelings, this it is a HUGE deal. I’m so glad I did them, and did them with you!
-Erika”
It was a fast few hours, but I don't get to do many things like this, so it was fun to do something a bit different, and it was also a pleasure to work with Erika. Here are some of my favorites...
