TWINS

On Saturday I spent a few hours with 3 month old Lila & Patrick for their first photo session.

They did an awesome job and I got some great images of them with their parents, Joe and Sarah, together, and by themselves.

Because they come from an Irish heritage, Sarah asked if I had any St Patrick's Day props. although I did have some at home, I took the opportunity to sew up a beret for Patrick to wear and decorated a white headband with Kelly green trim and a green carnation for Lila to wear , then wrapped them in light green soft fleece fabric, added a green Teddie Beanie Baby. This was one of my favorites of the 2 of them together.

While Lila ate, we worked on some individual images of Patrick.
I always like to use baseball props for baby boys. What little guy doesn't dream of playing ball at some point.


Once Lila was finished eating we worked on getting some images of her with a collection of items that begin with the letter "B" (which I noticed after the fact). I was going for a Ballerina theme with the tutu, added the headband with a butterfly clip, some pink beads and a baby bear for her to hold. Many things that little girls dream of.
I played around with color on these next 2. The one below I desaturated just a bit leaving a light pink hue.

This one is a selective color as I desaturated the color from the entire image before bringing back just a hint of pink in specific area. Which do you prefer?
I had a couple of Teddie bear hats that we used for a few shots of the twins together

Mom liked my baby in the nest images so I brought the nest props even though these 2 are older than the last baby I photographed in the nest. I really loved the outcome of these images.

They look like a couple of baby birds ready to fly the coop. In the image below it gives me the sense that they are either protesting for their food or cheering for their favorite team. I any event I loved the results of this and all of their images.

Evan's first photo session

Here's 3 month old Evan with his mom and dad in his debute photo session

i brought along my teddy and the teddy ear hat which he looked very cute in.

Looking like a big boy in his striped shirt and his little sneakers, one of which he kicked off pretty quickly.

After a bottle he fell fast asleep giving us the opportunity for some sleeping baby images.

At a 6 month session or after you rarely get images of a baby while sleeping so i like to try to catch these precious images when I can.

So sweet!

Saturday afternoon, Melissa, her mom and her 11 week old baby boy, Nicholas came to my house for Nicholas' first pro photo session. What a cutie he is!

He didn't know what to make of the big camera I was using and had a moment of indecision resulting in the shot below. It turned out to be one of my favorites!

Who could resist that face!

We decided to do a newborn series as well. Here he is with his lovely mom, Melissa

We had to get a 3 generation shot since Nana was on hand.
