Finally! | Child photography workshop, baby photography workshop

Finally, indeed, this is the image I have been waiting to capture for a year now.   I know some may not “get it” but my studio is located in the heart of a very Equestrian area - From Shawan Downs to Fox Hunting it’s all here! So a year ago, I had the idea of photographing a baby on an English saddle, and we finally made it happen.

I had an assistant that day, the lovely and talented Virginia Payne She was here for a mini workshop/mentoring. It was so nice having an extra set of hands, and she was wonderful with the baby. Thank you again, Virginia, for helping! Which reminds me, if you wish to attend one of my mini workshop based on my Studio Lighting Naturally book, please go to http://www.jodieotte.com/mentoring.htm or CLICK HERE for child photography, baby photography workshop  to sign up. The seats are filling fast! We also go over business, marketing, and more.

Baby Boy | Newborn

Sweet baby boy - I bought these hats months ago, and finally had a chance to use them in several sessions including this one - more to come - I have a bit of a backlog on proofing ;)  So so many babies have been born lately!  And no, this is not the “waited a year” image - that one is coming, I promise!

Studio Images | Baltimore Maryland Photographer

Yes, it’s awfully cold here in Maryland.   The majority of our photo shoots have been inside the studio during this time, but we usually start in the studio, and if the weather permits, shooting a little outdoors in the property just for some more variety.  While I don’t post all sessions to my blog, I thought I would dedicate this post to studio images, and share some that haven’t been shown… Stay-tuned, however, I finally have an image from two Fridays ago that I have been waiting a year to do…

Workshop for Child, Baby Photographers

As you probably know, I am no longer providing regular workshops for photographers; however, I had opened up some small mentoring groups/mini-workshops in December of 2008 as a trial, that seemed to work out very well.  I am currently opening the rest of the 2009 dates and times.  Please read ALL THE DETAILS HERE

 

All Natural Light | Newborn Maryland

I don’t typically shoot a lot of natural light indoors anymore, but for this session, I felt like pushing the low light conditions a bit… what a sweet beautiful baby… love that hair!

Ice…. 5/365, 6/365, 7/365

Okay, so I am not doing the photo-a-day properly. I just can’t. I’m way too busy to follow it correctly, so therefore I am making up my own rules… I will TRY to take a photo a day but if I can’t, I will make up for it… like today…

The ice outside is beautiful, so I had to take some pictures… so this will cover being behind, right??? ;)

Welcome 2009! 1/365

Happy New Year!   This is the last of the Christmas decorations for 2008 — all is down now… and I’m welcoming 2009!  I’m going to go ahead and try to keep up with the photo-a-day thing for 2009.  We’ll see if I can keep up with it… you know, resolutions and all… lolol!
