  baby "j"  
     
  May 25, 2008 - Baby "J" is technically part of my First 48 newborn photography program, but due to an extended stay in the hosptial, we pushed out our shoot a few days.  These shots were taken less than 24 hours ago on a beautiful day outside of Lansing, Michigan.  As part of the First 48, images are guaranteed within about 24 hours and I'll be working with "Baby J's" family to create an e-mail blast and custom printed announcements.  He's now home and healthy and couldn't be more gorgeous!  These pictures below are a testament to what I always tell my clients, "We'll probably get the best shots in the last five minutes."  Usually, the first minutes of working together can be tense and excitement can be high, so there's a bit of anxiety for everyone (including me).  Toward  the end, we've all let our hair down and we're just having fun.  Baby "J" decided to really relax. By the way, "Baby J's" parents are the way-cool clients all photographers would love to have (I'm lucky to have them!). . . easy-going, fashion-forward, and up for anything. Thanks for your patience and adventerous spirit, K and R!  
     
 






 
     
  Studio?  No!  No!  This was set up in "Baby J's" walkout basement -- a simple black backdrop and a nice window letting in the morning light.  Love these ones with mom and dad.  
     
 



 
     
  A true family keepsake . . . when I saw this chair at  the initial consultation, I knew we had to shoot it.  As it turns out, it's an important family keepsake that goes back generations.  
     
 




 
     
  The bowl shot!  I probably get more comments on this shot set-up than any other I've taken.  Since I set my son in the bowl on the dining room table last year (you can find it in the web gallery), I've had several requests for the same set-up.  It always works and it's just too cute.  
     
   
     
     
  baby "b"  
     
  May 10, 2008 - Baby "B" is a much-welcomed addition to the family after many years and much effort to adopt.  I've been waiting three months to shoot this little guy (and chomping at the bit!), so today was a true celebration for all.  I know mom is checking to see when her little guy will appear here on the blog so I raced home as quickly as possible (while maintaining a safe speed of course) to post a few of the gems.  What do you think, mom?  
     
 










 
     
     
  fun with "e" & "g"  
     
  May 8, 2008 - It was worth getting our noses cold and toes a little wet to get these cute shots.  These cuties came all the way from West Virginia to see me.  It was great seeing the gang!
