I am sure you have seen the buzz around the Internet about the awesome segment on the Today Show about newborn photography. I was so excited to see something I am so passionate in take center stage, I appreciated all of the emails from clients asking me if I had seen it and telling me that the segment reminded them of me. I am super flattered. I am excited for the photographer profiled and this amazing publicity she received but I am also super excited to see child photographers in the limelight. If you have some time check it out.
This is Maddie and she is a MOVER, all Maddie wanted was “wa wa” that is water in big people speak.
After making funny voices, bopping myself on the head, and blowing bubbles didn’t work I decided that it was time to put on the fisheye and let Maddie enjoy some time in the water and I am glad I did because that is when Maddie loosened up, plus I ADORE fisheye pictures.
Ann, I know you’re excited!!! I hope you love them!
This is right before she took a tumble into the water…
You might recognize this little face from a few months back. Padraic is now 9 months old and is getting cuter by the second. I just love this age because they are so expressive but they are not moving around so basically that makes them PERFECT!
Keep an eye out for Padraic in a couple of months! Awesome watching you grow, little guy.
This is supposed to be August’s tutorial but I was running a little late..
I posted on facebook asking what my next tutorial should be and I got an overwhelming response to cover newborns, topics I was asked to cover were how to get rid of baby acne and how neutralize yellow or red skin tones… which brings me to the reason my tutorial is late. I don’t have many issues with acne or skin tones I was having a lot of trouble finding a photograph to use for the tutorial and this got me thinking, “why don’t I have these issues?”
#1 Exposure is VERY important. If you are not exposing correctly the skin imperfections/tone will be magnified.
#2 I typically shoot within the first 5 days and babies start to get acne around day 10.
This little guy is a good friends baby, who is 10 days old. Which provided the perfect picture for the tutorial. I know most of you were hoping for some big secret but there isn’t one. The key is exposure and getting in there early if you do those two things then you should not have any issues but if you do here are a couple of things you can do to fix it. If you are a seasoned professional this video probably isn’t for you but feel free to take a peek just to hear how silly I sound! You have no idea how much I dislike hearing myself on video!
If you have comments or questions feel free to leave them in the comment box. I appreciate it and hope this is helpful for all of you that are just starting out.
I have said it time and time again but I am going to say it again.. THIS is why I love shooting on location.
The Porter house was awesome! Super retro, I just love capturing everyone’s unique style. The best thing is that they were up for all of my silly ideas as long as it was “not posey” which I think is great because lifestyle is my favorite way to shoot. The focus of this shoot was little Ren who is 8 weeks old and he is quite possibly the cutest 8 week old I have ever seen.
Ava is officially ONE! This year went by so quick… it seems like just yesterday I was taking Ava’s newborn photos!
Sunday was the big bash and I was sooo excited because Orousha always has the best parties with help from Sam her fabulous coordinator. I always wonder how Orousha will top the last party but she always comes through. I am secretly hoping her next baby is a boy just to see what she does at his first birthday.
