New-baby Portraits

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.

Senior Pictures

I liked this shot as an image of a teen in transition, walking away solo, personality and skill in hand, headed toward something unknown. Cool stuff for a senior session. Although it’s not likely to be a huge print seller, it’s a cool image.

This photo was shot in Fort Mill, SC behind a Chick-Fil-A restaurant actually. I used the Nikon D1x (of course), a 20mm/f2.8 and SB28dx. I ran a Cross Processing action on it in Photoshop CS3. I wanted to give it a little atmosphere.

We had the pleasure/pain of working around gray skies and intermittent rain, but ended up with some great captures for the day.
