Class of 2010

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Here is a peak at one of the many high school seniors I’ve had the chance to work with in the last few weeks. Many are scrambling to get appointments before they have to turn in their image to the yearbook staff of his/her high school. The next few posts are a collection of the some of the guys graduating with the class of 2010 this coming spring!

The Best Gifts Come in Small Packages

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

The love that a newborn, unbeknown to him or her, brings into the world is precious. There is a certain silent calm that the soothing of a small child brings into the studio. I’ve always enjoyed photographing newborns. In my past work I was mainly concerned with the child his/herself, but lately have found joy in bringing in mom/dad to the portraits. The size comparison of child to adult results in something very precious. For example this first print with baby fitting snug into daddy’s hands.

Beautiful Boys

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

Children are beautiful. These boys are a perfect example. All three of them were recently in for their milestone portraits while their older sister(who is school age) went out for breakfast with dad. Last time I photographed them we did a session at their home where they able to show me a cardboard rocket ship and tell me how to get to the moon with it.  When they came in for this session, everyone was all smiles, but the middle child was my entertainer for the day, playing peek, dancing and laughing at most all I had to say! Thank you guys for making your Saturday session one to remember.
