People sometimes ask me what “Lifestyle Photography” is… well, this week I had a photo shoot that perfectly illustrated the term. Remember Rich and Eileen? We photographed their wedding at Walden in 2009 — See those images HERE! Well, on Tuesday I had to honor and priveledge of meeting the newest member of their family… itty bitty Baby L. This little princess was only 8 days old when she came to our studio for her newborn photo session. She was the perfect combination of cute, squishy and sleepy! We had such a great time, and got some amazing shots– It was extra fun for me to see Rich and Eileen transformed from Bride and Groom to Mom and Dad! That’s what “Lifestyle Photography” means to me… getting to capture a couple when they begin their life together, and continue to capture it as they develop into a family.
Here are some of my favorite shots from Baby L’s newborn photo session… I can’t wait to watch her grow up…
Happy Easter!
There was just too much cuteness going on in the studio last week… or, should I say “TWO” much! One month old babies D and C came in for their newborn photo shoot, and they were champs! These boys were amazing– No double the trouble here… We cranked the heat up to 85 degrees, surrounded them with cozy blankets, and made them as comfy as can be. It was amazing to see how the comfort of each other proved to pacify the babies more than anything else… they really are buddies!
Check out these adorable newborn photos we got of these little guys!
Okay, so in what should be the last of my family posts for a while (don’t quote me on that)… Here is the studio lighting installment of my niece’s newborn photos. If you remember, I previously posted pictures I took of her at home with natural light, and discussed the benefits of a natural light newborn session against those of a studio session. In the studio, we have the ability to create more dramatic, more fine-art newborn photos. The striking look of the black backdrop leaves nothing but the baby for your eyes to lock on to. Pillows, hands & parents can all be positioned under the backdrop to help position the baby in the desired pose. This look is much more contemporary than the natural light option… Well, let’s hear from you… which look do you prefer?
Everyone wants to be a part of the show! That is, if they'll earn another lollypop!
The vast space around her gives an almost in-utero feeling to this image
When they sleep like babies, you can curl them up like little balls-- that's my favorite!
Thanks for a wonderful year, everyone! Holiday card and family photo gift orders are complete, and we’re now thinking up lots of new and creative ideas for 2010! Book this year’s session early to make sure you get the perfect day! See you in 2010! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
