I met Emmy + her parents a couple weeks ago to shoot some pre second baby portraits. I don’t generally expect three-year-olds to take me by total surprise, especially not in the humor department, but Emmy is hysterical, and not in that ‘I’m-funny-and-I-know-it’ way most kids are. She is just quietly funny in a really authentic way.
Also, she inherited some stunning good looks.
Josie, sister of Sam, is having her first baby in July. I shot these last weekend at Matt + Josie’s. They are both super fun–and, even better, funny–and their kid, Jake, is totally going to inherit that. I can’t wait to meet the little guy.
Josie + Matt had this guest bedroom with great light, so we spent the latter half of the shoot there, just kicking it. I love how natural these next shots feel.
…and one with Auntie Sam:
T-minus two days until thesis completion. If you still have a photo of your dog with a mobile device, send it on over!
I love photographing dogs. There isn’t a shoot I go on where I don’t remind myself to be totally thrilled about the fact that I have a perfect excuse to spend the next hour rolling around of the floor with a new canine friend. But I definitely enjoy switching it up on occasion, so when Kelsey asked if I’d do her maternity shoot I was more than happy to oblige. I never can get over the fact that when you’re shooting people you can just tell them where to go, and there they go, off to the exact spot you wanted. It’s crazy. You don’t have to tempt them with little bits dried up chicken liver or some equally awful smelling thing, and you don’t have to repeat “stay…stay…stay…” like a broken record, desperately hoping the dog will just stay put for, like 30 more seconds while you change your ISO.
Also, Kelsey is completely in shape, perky, upbeat and drop dead gorgeous. (I will have accomplished something great in my lifetime if these are adjectives that can someday used to describe me when (if?) I am ever pregnant).
Also, Kelsey’s marvelously long hair painfully reminds me how it’s going to take me about 15 years to grow my hair back after I chopped a good fifteen inches off a year ago.
I’m crazy about this last shot; such a lovely moment between the parents-to-be. Can’t you just see how much they love each other? Lucky, lucky kid.
When Erin asked me to do maternity photos she was already 36 weeks pregnant, so time was a’ tickin. Our first shoot fell on one of the cloudiest days Denver has probably ever seen, and while there were a few good shots, I really felt like the downer weather didn’t portray their obvious exuberance about this pregnancy. Something about pregnancy demands sunshine if you ask me. So we rescheduled, and I just got around to finishing editing the photos. Meanwhile, Erin and Brad just got around to actually having the baby, so congratulations to both of them on the safe arrival of Grace Eileen!
And of course no photo shoot is really complete without a cameo dog appearance. Brad + Erin’s dog, Mazie is truly adorable, and loves to be in the spotlight.
