Moore Maternity Session

Wow! It's just around the corner when my family will be introduced to our newest member. We can't wait.

My sons continue to claim things for the new baby and are ready to start playing with him. For my wife and I, we're taking it one step at a time. With a growing family comes growing needs.

We felt it was the right time to have our session. Out came the gear and the wireless trigger for the camera. The trick was to keep the boys in position and be themselves without going overboard. At that point, they would go watch their favorite movies while we continued. The boys fell right in.

The good thing about the remote is that I can't set up a rigid pose, but show everyone a location and let them fill the scene with their personality. There are no mirrors and no one behind the camera (when I'm in the scene). There is only what happens.

Check out the results of our session on the following slideshow...

Family Pictures Should Tell What Not Just Who


This is a moment from my personal life. My told me she could tell I really love this picture.

Near bath time, the boys had gone before me and started going through their ritual. This time, I noticed my older was assisting my younger son as I would normally do. Being the father / photographer I am, I quickly grabbed my camera because this moment they would never remember.

The what? Just the act of helping.
