Birth

I first photographed these two a few years ago for their engagement session, and now here they are expecting their first little one. Nicole wanted to document the occasion with a session in their home. We started with some more intimate semi-nudes(and are keeping them off the blog for obvious reasons), and ended the session with the two of them in the park just down the street from their home. Thank you Nicole for letting me document this next milestone in your family! I can’t wait to meet him or her soon!

I’m always flattered when a previous wedding client allows me the honor to attend their first birth or any birth for that matter. To me, it says alot about not only their comfortability with themselves but also the comfortability and trust that they have in me as an individual, as a photographer. I woke up the morning of December 3 to an email from Keith that said “Finn’s Coming”. After I spoke with him he said Tiffany was getting ready to push so I figured I would miss it as the hospital was an hour away. Jumped in the shower,…

I first met Ross and Kristy several years ago for their engagement session. I loved getting to work with them and their daughter Kiki both for their engagement session and their wedding, and have since become friends.

He even helped me with my most recent workshop and has become a moderator of sorts on my Workshop Facebook Group. Recently- we were invited to go see Kiki play a soccer game and my daughters were very…

Meet Zoe, who is now a one year old. This gorgeous album documents her first year, starting during Tara’s pregnancy and finishing with Zoe’s birthday. The photographic cover(first image below) also includes an image on the back from Tony and Tara’s 2007 wedding. This album was designed by Robin of Doodle Do who definitely has the magic touch for these designs. Tara’s “Baby Package” (3 shoots over baby’s first year and a year end album + an add on extra session) was purchased by several family members attending her baby shower and given to her growing family as a gift.…

It seems fitting to me that this first post of 2011 is about a birth as it is also the first post of my newly created Facebook Fan page, another birthing of sorts. If you enjoy my photography, please become a fan of my page. Thank you. I love to photograph births. I’m not sure why. I mean of course, capturing the exact moment that life enters this world is fascinating, spectacular and amazing. Jaw dropping, really. Capturing all the raw emotions before, during and after- I’m energized by these types of unrehearsed moments. But after pondering it, I think…
