Oh Baby!!

Last weekend I photographed a beautiful 2 week old newborn.  Most of my work up to this point has consisted mostly of children, so photographing a newborn was quite a challenge.  To get those peaceful sleeping newborn shots, a great deal of time and patience is required.   I spent about an hour and a half with him, but realized later that I needed to spend more time.  As a photographer and parent, you have little control over the newborn and what they need or want at that time.  So, spending good time with the baby and his family will allow you to get certain photographs that happen in between the feeding, cuddling and comforting times.  Here are a few images that I did get.  Little Brendan was alert and awake showing off those blue eyes in every image.

Rainy Day Fun

Days like today don't get any better....

We are on the cusp of Spring and its time to start playing in the rain.  So, I bundled up my girl and suggested we get our boots wet.  Unfortunately, she wasn't having it after about 5 minutes.  Yet, I still managed to get some sweet shots of my baby.
