new favorite!!

Last week my good friend Deborah was in town visiting from Oregon and asked me to photograph her daughter. First there was the novelty of photographing someone old enough to follow direction and look at the camera when I asked (wish I could get my toddler to do that!). Second, she’s gorgeous, and who doesn’t want to photograph pretty people? And third, ohmydog will you look at this picture?? I think this might be my new all-time favorite portrait I’ve taken.




I also love this one of her jumping.

I know I don’t update this enough! I’m going to start, I swear. I’m vowing to be a more prolific poster starting today.

I love love love photographing newborns! They are so tiny, and they grow so fast. I don’t think most first-time parents really appreciate the tiny-ness (I know I didn’t!) while it’s there. One day you look back and go, “No way. Was he really that little??” I want to capture this tiny-ness, because even one month later, that baby won’t look the same at all.

And a note to anyone thinking about newborn photos: within the first two weeks of life is the best time to capture the “curled” look. Call me when you’re still pregnant so I can pencil you in for the time around your due date. I come to YOU, because I know how tough it is to get out of the house those first few days.

Okay, on with the photos. These are from the same newborn session as the ones in the last post, in color this time. He’s 11 days old here.
