Challenge Met

Even with the studio heater cranking at too warm for clothing level, newborn baby Ethan would have none of it and presented a bit of a challenge with plenty of crying during his portrait session. But I have lots of patience with fussy babies, and we worked thru his reluctance until blessed sleep finally ensued. Mom was pleasantly surprised at the amount of great images we captured and here are a few favorites.

Blair and Andrew's maternity session

Andrew is the force behind our front yard makeover, and when I learned he and his wife were expecting their first child, I said hey let's schedule maternity portraits.

I'm so glad they took me up on the offer because working with them was a blast. Blair is a photographer's dream - such a natural in front of the camera, moving easily and everything she does looks fantastic, I could have photographed her all day. We captured so many great images, it's hard to pick just a few for a sneak peak. Since they are outdoorsy people, they wanted to do some photos outside in the garden. Thankfully the rain held off, and Blair was a trooper in the chilly air.
