When I signed into my blog account and realized that my last post was 2 years old, I could not believe it! Well, this little one was enough to get me to change my ways. As usual, when I emailed my client to let her know that her gallery was up on my site I asked for permission to publicly share her images, including on my blog. Her response was "blog away sister, wait, you have a blog?" And, as I reviewed her son's images I thought - if there ever was a 4 month old, begging for a debut - this puckered-up little love was it so here we are.
I always ask before I share on Facebook, my site or my gallery - while, in theory, it is my right to use professional images for display - I am very sensitive to the wishes of my clients. Sometimes to my detriment, you have to believe me when I tell you that some of my personal favorites will never appear on the interwebs, I always defer to my clients - their privacy wishes are paramount to me.
Luckily for you - this family said yes - so without further ado let me introduce this little bundle of love!
This new family's house was perfect for our session. I was able to maximize the natural light, architectural details and, a personal favorite, reflections. Just love his father watching through the doorway.
Seriously, when I said pucker-ed up - you had no idea what was in store, did you? Watch out world!
One of my goals is to always incorporate some environmental portraiture. I don't shoot in a studio, always on location, usually client's choice. The spaces we choose reflect so much of ourselves - for this family it also included, Big and Little, their first (four-footed) children.
And details, details, details - whether you choose to hire a professional photographer or to click away on your own - make sure to capture the little bits of your little loves. The soft, sweet smelling, snuggling bits of baby that will gradually disappear. Before you know those little fingers will have tee-ball calluses and skinned knee scabs. And by-the-way, those are just as important to memorialize. Each tells part of the chapter you are living.
Enjoy!!
