A Baby's First Year in Photos

In January of 2012, a elementary school friend contacted me about taking her expectant grandson's photos once he was born. Of course, I said yes I would!

Aiden was born in April 2012 and the planning began. The first time meeting little Aiden, it stormed horribly and our outdoor session moved to his Mimi's living room. He did not want anything to do with having his photograph taken. After about two hours, we decided to reschedule. 

His first official photo shoot, he was just a little shy of 3 months old (top left). Needless to say, he did great and his parents joined in on some of the photos as well. In October, we met up to take his six month photos. Wow, he was not a baby anymore! Full of energy and full of laughter, that was his photo shoot at 6 months (top right).

In February, his mimi and I began planning his nine month photo shoot. My trusty assistant (a.k.a my daughter) got props together and off we went to a new location. Just as his six month photo shoot had been, he was full of energy and wanted to play with anything within reach. He had a blast riding (standing) in the vintage stroller we used in his photos. (bottom right)

We met recently for his 12 month photos. And true to history, this time, he was not crazy about it like the first time we met. (bottom left) We were able to get a few shots, but his mimi and I decided to reschedule. 

Aiden has grown so much in a year and we have been blessed to be a part in recording his growth in photographs. With his big, gorgeous blue eyes, he will surely knock some unsuspecting young lady off her feet one day when he is much, much older of course! The camera has loved his eyes during this past year.

Stay tuned! Perhaps we will watch him grow over the next few years.

Time flies. 

I first came to know Morgan and her family through the church we all attended. A few years later, I was called to sub teach in a 4th grade classroom at a local elementary school. As it turned out, I ended up teaching that class until the end of the school year (January - June) with Morgan and the rest of her classmates.  Morgan moved away from our little town when she was in middle school. We have stayed in touch through the power of Facebook.

A while back the photography page hosted a couples photo contest. Morgan entered and ultimately won the contest. This week, I was honored to photograph her with her fiance. As we traveled through the northern part of our county, we stopped at various locations to take photos. At one point, Morgan not quite sure where we were, asked. :) This was a really fun photo shoot. We ended up at the farm where my daddy was born and raised. 

Morgan and Justin will be married this weekend. Justin is in the Marines and will be headed out to the Middle East in a few weeks. Keep them both in your thoughts. May you have many years together! 

Time flies.

Our First Maternity Shoot!

We recently had the pleasure of photographing Candace. Candace is expecting a baby boy, could be tomorrow when he arrives! Candace and her husband, Mohammad E. have been married four years. They enjoy visiting the beach and find time in their busy life as restaurant owners to spend time with their beautiful daughters visiting local parks. When at home, they enjoy playing with their pets, two goats and one dog. 

Candace agreed to be our "maternity model". You will see her in promotional pieces on our website and Facebook page. If you are expecting and know Candace, she can tell you about her session and perhaps have a coupon for your very own maternity shoot. We are looking forward to our partnership with Candace and taking more photos after baby E arrives. 

We hope to see you all in front of our lens soon! Until then, take care.
