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.

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.

I’m frequently amazed by other photographers who are able to make a beautiful image out of a scene most of us wouldn’t look at twice. The images that most inspire me are those that might never have been taken. The little details we pass by every day, and sometimes don’t notice. Maybe they’re even inconvenient things, but an artist will take it and compose a thing of beauty.

I’ve always thought that one of my short-comings as an ART photographer was that I have a hard time capturing abstract images that turn an unremarkable scene into a striking photograph. My self assignment lately has been to slow down, and notice the beauty that appears within the mundane.

This image was taken from inside my car one foggy morning. It’s condensation that formed overnight on the windshield. In my haste to get to work on time I almost didn’t even shoot this.
