Nevermind the fact that it was literally pouring rain…and I was so drenched that I could wring the water our of my hair…B was unfazed and went right along with whatever crazy idea was presented to her. You gotta love a girl who can rock a rainstorm like that!

One of the most gorgeous newborn babies I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Oh the yumminess of this precious little baby boy just makes me want to nibble on his chunky little cheeks.

I kept repeating myself…”No really…he is like one of the MOST gorgeous babies I’ve ever seen!” He wasn’t extremely interested in having his picture taken in the first 45 minutes or so that I was there. I think he was just testing me…seeing if I was really as patient as I kept whispering to him that I was. But…eventually he gave in…(they always do!)…and the rest of the session was what newborn photography dreams are made of. His big brother and sister were equally as precious…and if they are any indication of how gorgeous this little one will be in the years to come…then we’re all in trouble! There shouldn’t be so many gorgeous genes in one family…it’s sort of unfair!

Thank you E family…for a lovely session…for sharing J with me for a couple of hours…for the ongoing envy over your bedroom decor…and for the piano concert from little miss S. You have a beautiful family…and it just got a little more beautiful with the addition of J.

‘Til Next Time!

I like this family…soooo much! Really…I do! There are some families that I get to photograph that when I meet them, I just know that they are really, really good people…and such was the case when I met the Punto family. Dad is Nick Punto, of the Minnesota Twins…and such a doting dad…he even danced to make his daughter giggle (and I have proof)! How fun is that? And Mom is Natalie…possibly one of the sweetest moms I’ve ever been around. Her children will be blessed by her disposition…and the constant smile on her face (evidenced in nearly every image). What a Happy family! It was fun to hang out with you all…and even more fun to chase after your little blond-bundle-of-2-year-old-energy!

Can’t you just hear her giggling?

I love the little bubbles he’s blowing.

Some people are just destined for success…and J is absolutely one of those people. He crazy smart, balanced, self-disciplined, seems to know what he wants out of life…and while he certainly has all sorts of reasons why he could be…he’s not too cool to admit that he loves his mom! What a great guy! I thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with him while we were shooting. J – I have a strong suspicion that you are going to accomplish amazing things in your life…and I hope that Stanford (or Cambridge if that door flies open) will be all that you imagine it to be…and more. They’re lucky to have you!

I have a ridiculous amount of catching up to do…blogging, editing, ordering, etc. I can’t wait to share with you many of the fun images from my Focus Workshop last weekend. We had 27 models for the workshop…and while I sadly did not get to shoot all of them myself…I did get to shoot most of them, so there are a bazillion images to share from that…as well as a crazy backload of sneak peeks. So…there should be a lot of activity around this blog here in the next few weeks…so keep checking back!

Senior Day Part I … Focus Photography Workshop

I am continually amazed…after every workshop that I teach…at what wonderful people I am blessed to meet. Every single workshop has been filled with women who are kind, passionate about what they do, fun, happy, and genuinely nice people…I feel refreshed and inspired myself after just being around them all weekend. The past three days have been filled with busy…and I’m exhausted…but, it’s a good exhaustion. I am completely humbled to have just spent the last three days with such amazing people…sharing the same enthusiasm over something that I love so very much…photography. This is just one quick post of many, many more to come of the fabulous models that we were so blessed to shoot. There were 27 models total…and what an amazing group of kids they all were. I am beyond blessed!

A – You are charming, handsome, ridiculously photogenic, and just an all around great guy! Thanks for suffering through being the only guy model today…amidst a group of gorgeous girls…I know that it must have been extremely difficult for you…poor guy…LOL!

Be Back Soon!
