If you have been following this blog for awhile now, then you will remember when we lost our 12 year black lab, Abby, to Lupus early this year. Putting the guilt for replacing our girl aside, Zach is ready for another puppy.

So, with out further a do… I introduce, Miss Molly.

Lynne liked the concept I came up with, so we set it all up on Sunday. Zach was a little leery of putting lit Christmas lights around him, but we convinced him it would be fun. He was great during the whole 10 minutes of shooting and only during the last couple of minutes did he complain of the “big camera flash” scaring him. To get some good, natural looks from him, Lynne asked him about what he wanted for Christmas and about all the fun things we did over the weekend. The second picture, where he looks a bit mischievous, he is actually getting ready to tell us something with a huge grin on his face!!

Anyway, I think these two work well, and they are now part of the Christmas card this year…

David is my brother in law, so I was honored to shoot his “traditional” graduation photos.  We had two different sessions because of rain and other scheduling conflicts, but we got everything he and his parents were looking for.  The shots are a bit more “formal” and “traditional” than I prefer, but thats the look everyone wanted…

 

I “entered” my wife’s family in 2001 when I started dating David’s sister.  David was a high school freshman then and really just your average teenager.  I am such a big kid at heart and laughed when I realized that we both enjoyed the same music!!  Since that day, lots has changed and I really dont considered him my brother in law just my brother.  Like is just flying by that he has graduated both high school and college (Rosen College of Hospitality Management).  He has started his new job with, none other than the prestigious Waldorf Astoria.  I ask nothing of him except a chance to talk to the wedding coordinator there!! 

 

Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots from the shoots…

The funny thing was that it was so close to MLK day that we called the MLK presents. Anyway, you cant bring over a beautiful baby like Sanae and me pass up the chance to take some pics. Nothing fancy here, no light set up… in fact no flash at all as I shot these with available window light.

Hope you enjoy!!

Oh and while I am at it… we babysat a puppy not too long ago. The most adorable chocolate lab, just 8 weeks old. So, how does this fit in with the title, Baby Portraits?? Well, it doesnt, but the puppy is still a baby! Does that count? Here are some pics of her…

Ok, maybe thats a bit of a stretch, but shooting portraits one on one with no other distractions (except for a park full of on-lookers) is definately different than shooting weddings. None the less, I love doing it.

Now that I think about it, there is at least one striking similarity; families coming together and having their photos taken as one big group. Most families havent had everyone together for a big photo in either a long time and some never have. I hear that statement a lot at weddings, too!!

The Costello family and I met at Lake Eola park to get photos of their daughter wearing the dress she wore for her 16th birthday. While we were at it, they invited the rest of their family too. So here is a hidden secret for those that have read this post and didnt skip to photos…. the daughters of the family are the official babysitter(s) for our son. All of them have watched him at one time or another!

My granddad can be fairly conservative so I went after safe, Navy Portraits (you know, the desk, the flag). I really wanted to pull of a dramatic photo like
Peter Yang’s Esquire magazine shot of Admiral William Fallon, but thats ok. After I set up and he came over to the house, I found out that he wanted full length shots and some with a sword. In fact, he wanted to swing the sword as it relates to some story in the book. Hmm…. wasn’t ready for that, but that’s OK, I can adapt!!
