A year already?

My friends Jake and Nicole have given me the opportunity to follow their journey into parenthood. I initially photographed the couple during Nicole’s pregnancy. Later, I photographed baby Wes *very* soon after he was born and then again at 6 months. No matter how many kids and families I get to shoot photos with, I am always – ALWAYS – amazed at how quickly children grow up. I can’t believe I just shot one year old portraits for my little buddy, Wes. Happy birthday, little man! And thank you to “The Jakes” for letting me have a part in your adventure.

Charlotte Newborn Photo Session

Mom and Baby in Natural Light

Last week I was asked to photograph this beautiful 2 week old baby at the family’s home in Charlotte. This photo of her mom holding her is one of my favorite images I’ve made.  Maybe it’s because her expression reminds me of my own daughter; maybe it’s the natural light; maybe it’s just a sweet portrait of a baby with her mom.

I rarely encourage models to sleep through photo shoots, but it’s perfectly acceptable for a newborn photo session.

This weekend, I was honored to capture some photographs of Jake & Nicole’s now 3 week old baby boy.  We’ve come full-circle.  A few weeks ago we were strolling through Fort Mill, SC shooting their maternity portraits.  They’re proud parents with a handsome boy, and even though he won’t remember any of it he did great!

I shot these photos with my D300, 60mm/f2.8 and 2 SB-28dx flashes at the family’s home. One flash was on the camera. The other I positioned in random spots around the room, triggering it with my Pocket Wizard remotes. I’ve come to love the Nikkor 60mm Micro lens for portraits. The lens’ sharpness is perfect, and the macro focusing capability allows for tight, intimate people pictures.  See a few more at Facebook.

Baby’s First Swing

Baby Trace (and his mom and dad) let me shoot his first time in a swing. He loved it. I love this shot. It’s got the essentials, but I love it for what it doesn’t have almost as much. It doesn’t have any motion blur… doesn’t have any cheesy lens effects… doesn’t have a parent pushing him (not that his parents aren’t cool). We’ve all seen those photos. This is just a kid super-stoked in a swing. We’ve all felt it. We all like feelin’ it. And, Trace, we’re with ya in this one buddy!
