Of course, we have more newborns…here’s a beautiful baby boy! He was so content, and so sweet. I’m always envious of the parents who have firstborns without colic ;) My firstborn was a really tough baby. He’s a pretty good 14-year-old now

Of course, we have more newborns…here’s a beautiful baby boy! He was so content, and so sweet. I’m always envious of the parents who have firstborns without colic ;) My firstborn was a really tough baby. He’s a pretty good 14-year-old now



Yes we did… we curled a 5-1/2 week old baby on a saddle. Photographers know how difficult it is to curl a baby over 2 weeks old - well, it’s definitely not impossible.


Porcelain - that is the word to describe this baby’s beautiful face! She was so sweet and pleasant.



Besides wanting to show this gorgeous little girl - I wanted to discuss some misinformation out there in the photography industry. So many die-hard natural light photographers don’t believe you can have similar results with studio lighting as you can with natural lighting. I get this question during my workshops almost every time. Can you shoot wide apertures in studio? Absolutely!!!! So for all those photographers who know they need to start learning or utilizing studio lights due to conditions you face especially in the winter months, this post is for you!
Here are some shallow depth of field, wide aperture newborn images done totally with studio lighting. I’ll be sharing more in the weeks to come. This is just one of the things I teach regarding studio lighting naturally.




Nine newborns prior to the studio closing down for family time. I thought I would catch up the blog a bit today…



















I’m running out of titles for these blog posts - newborns, babies, babies, newborns ;) This baby was so sweet and calm the entire portrait session, loved her!




Where have I been? Through a whirlwind of commercial shooting - major ad campaign, would love to share the images, but I can’t - they will be out for all to see soon, and I will be sure to update when I’ve spotted them - let me know when you spot them, and then I will start talking LOL
It was absolutely wonderful working with this company as well as the ad agency. What was it, two flew in from California, and four from Illinois? No pressure or anything ;). I loved every bit of shooting for those days and everyone was just amazing to work with.
Thank you to our four tiny models who put up with quite a lot of poking and prodding and shushing and rocking. Boy did I have a ton of laundry to do after all of that! And thank you to our tiny models’ parents who took some time out of their day to shoot with us!
Thank you greatly to my assistants, Virginia Payne and Tracey Grumbach - I could have NEVER done it without you.
Okay, so I have a lot of catchup to do on this blog, don’t I? Well, here’s a start, I will be back for more later. Today is “Family Day” and we need to get out and be a family and have some adventure. Oh, stay tuned for our Happy Easter post, we have some special itty bitty family members who have joined us that I would love to introduce!
