Baby's First Year for Lawrence and Titania

I love this couple. From their wedding until now, they have been great. Now there is more to love about them with their baby son. For this session they chose to mingle with the vibrant colors of a local playground. Nothing says baby more than bright colors.
With my extra gear in my backpack, the baby bag and my two cameras, we started off with a few posed shots since the baby was into it. The 50mm f/1.4 was great for the opening shot, but I switched to my trusty 70-200mm f/2.8 for the lovely portraits.
Toward the end as the sun began to get lower in the sky, I decided to give the photos a kiss of flash to brighten up the family while maintaining a decent background. For the photo below, I blew out most of the frame and then brought it back in with post production exposure to give it a special look.

Every family has a story and this one has beautiful stories.

Corinne - A Day in the Life

Corinne is a high achiever with many accomplishments to her name. On this day, I had the opportunity to document a day in her life with her latest milestone of her prom. No prom day would be fitting without fresh make up and hair styling from the professionals. In the presence of her onlooking father, she transformed from the day to day to Miss Extraordinaire.
It was a fun day hanging out with Corinne and her family learning about the major tasks and volunteer efforts she had done. Using my prime lenses, I was able to up the ISO and capture nice photos in her home with no flash (except for one or two posed shots). Outdoors, lovely shallow depth of field portraits were achieved of her, her date and her friend.


A fairy tale ending for a princess to be home by midnight (or there about).
