Ahhhh newborns…..they’re so sweet and cute. And I just want to pinch their cheeks and stroke their heads. As I’ve said before, newborns are unpredictable. We may have a plan for the portrait session but it may not go as planned. In fact, it almost never does. If they want to stay awake we go with it and change directions. This little lady eventually slept for us and gave us some sweet portraits at the end. Of course I loved that mom wanted to do some natural shots with her sweet little baby. Love it!
Sometimes I work with new clients and I enjoy getting to meet new people. And sometimes I’m forunate to work with friends I know from other aspects of life. I know this dad from my ballroom dance activities and it’s great to be a part of their personal life with sweet little girl.
It’s a photographers dream to be given extra time on a wedding day just for portraits! Regina and Simon and their wedding party met us at the Magnolia Hotel to start a few indoor shots, and then we headed over to Kim Son to finish off with some outdoor portraits. I was beyond thankful for one of the most beautiful days of the year!
Time to party! I bet people are still talking about Regina and Simon’s wedding reception all the craziness that happened. There were fun and crazy games they had to play in order to receive their wedding envelopes, champagne bottles popping, a Gangnam Style dance-a-thon, and some other just plain crazy antics. So much fun!
I have to thank Monique for her allll her help that day!
I had long been looking forward to Regina and Simon’s wedding because I couldn’t wait to see them have fun at the reception with their friends and family. They started off getting ready at the Magnolia Hotel with all the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Everyone then headed over to the Co-Cathedral Church in downtown Houston. It was a beautiful ceremony with fun moments and tears.
One of new things I’ve introduced lately is photographing newborns in the studio. The many advantages of shooting newborns in the studio are that I can control the lighting so much more and I have access to backgrounds and props. There are still two options for newborns – at the studio or at the client’s home – and each one has it’s advantage so it just comes down to preference.
This little guy slept the whole time! And that’s really surprising because he’s older than the 10 day window that I usually work with. It was pretty amazing that he stayed asleep the whole time even though we moved him around several times.
