Ryder and his cousins, Moodybaby (plus big kids) Session
I'm combining two different sessions with these guys into one blog post! We did the first session back in November, it was a surprise Christmas present for the grandparents. The second session was with the grandparents since Ryders first birthday party was snowed out in December. We really wanted to get the grandparents and grandkids together. I get to see these guys on a regular basis nowadays, they are an awesome family. We always have a great time. Ryder is the only boy grandbaby in the family, you will see how much his grandpa loves him below.
I have to say this is one beautiful set of grandchildren.
We did individual photos of each cousin with Ryder.
I had to take some headshots of these girls. They are gorgeous. Their mom and dad will have their hands full as they get older, boys will be beating down their door I am sure!
I miss the fall! The colors were awesome.
Mother and son, such a great pair.
We are now into January. Little Ryder waking up from a nap.
I had so much fun with these guys last month. I haven't seen them since Eve was an infant! She is so big now and was very excited to become a big sister!
(As always my belly images are shot on traditional black and white film. There is always an element of surprise and I love the grain texture! We did take some candids with the digital which there are some at the bottom of this post.)
Amy has the perfect belly.
Eve was such a great subject in conjunction with mom's belly.
Seriously, can't resist her.
Comparing bellies.
I think she needed a little front and center in preparation for a new sibling.
They have an image hanging in the background that is a mother holding her child, we wanted to give our own interpretation.
Heart melter!
So sweet! You can see Eve's baby pictures as well, she was so tiny last time I saw her.
I brought along my digital camera specifically for this purpose. We did a few photos of Eve in her new room.
I love this.
I hope you guys are doing well, can't wait to meet the new addition!
Skipping around a little in the blog line here. I think its the only way for me to get caught up, so don't worry if you are expecting a blog post it will be up soon!
I spent a lovely rainy Saturday morning with Lucy and Quin last month. You guys might recognize Lucy, if you look in my blog header the little girl is her. Well she has a new little brother and it was time for his first photo shoot!
He is a very happy little boy. Too cute.
Lucy showed off her hermit crab.
Quin just hanging out.
hehe, such a happy boy.
Loves his kisses from dad.
peekaboo!
Lucy is a fantastic big sister. She is very good with Quin.
This just makes my heart happy.
Happy Family!
We had done a similar shot when Lucy was a baby.
Look how cute little Lucy was.
And check out that personality now! HA! Love this, still adorable as ever.
Little Alfalfa bath time.
I very much enjoy this image. Such a good representation of team work.
Awe............ Staying up momentarily. You can see he knows he's about to go down.
Lucy was so good for the shoot she got this awesome lolly pop from me. I think she was pretty excited.
I love this, dad trying to get a lick in.
Its always a fun time with you guys! It was great spending time with you and meeting little Quin, or should I say Joaquin. :)
My passion for photography has brought me from New Mexico to Philadelphia. I fell in love with the change of seasons, the city, and its people.
Photography has always been a part of my life. My family has a rich history of photographers: my grandfather and great grandfather were amazing photo hobbyists. I have some great photographs from my family dating back to the later 1800's and early 1900's. It's amazing to see a photograph of what your mother looked like on her wedding day, when she was pregnant with you and how young she was, because sometimes we forget I was phhotograpghed constantly as a child and having those pictures today is priceless. Photography is history. The images you make today will be passed down for generations. I love bringing that Joy to others.
I approach photography with a documentary mindset. I concentrate on light, perspective, compostion and expression. I make art that will remain with a family for generations.
