fine art children's portraiture (2)

session: welcome to the world baby Hayden!

I had the honor of photographing three-day old baby Hayden’s first set of portraits. What a little trooper! After a bottle and a diaper change, he was rip-roaring ready to go. Not one peep out of this little guy the entire shoot, too. Now, if only all my portraits were this easy. Check out his mom’s maternity session directly beneath his portraits.

Thanks Hayden and mom and dad! Welcome to this big beautiful world! What a perfect day…

the session: Krystal; new mommy again!

I’ve been so neglectful to my blog! I won’t bore you with all the details, but needless to say a totally full, rather, over-spilling, heaping plate full of work, sick little ones and a sick mom (STILL sick) has prevented me from blogging updated work.

I’ve finally sat down (on a Sunday no less) to post Krystal’s maternity shoot at my favorite Naples beach! My maternity and portrait side of the business has taken off and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I’ve always been a true portraitist at heart and it’s what I love to do…

Krystal looks absolutely lovely! She already had her little one so a big CONGRATULATIONS to her and her beautiful family! Baby and the whole clan are settling into their new home today, and I will be out there in the next few days (weather and Ike permitting) to capture the wee one!

I don’t know how Krystal does it! She has three little boys and when I photographed their family portrait at their home, she was the vision of a perfect mom! But it surely helps to have awesome little boys that behave. And Devon, Jerimiah, and Grant were three awesome troopers! I’ll be blogging those images later this week.

KUDOS to you mom, you go! Congratulations on having such a fantabulous family and congratulations on the newest edition! I can’t wait to meet him…

The Junkroski Family session

Last weekend we went out and photographed the Junkroski family at one of our favorite Naples beaches. It was awesome! And while we didn’t get the typical sunset that Naples is so well known for, (there were just too many clouds), we had spectacular light that worked very well with the mood.

Personally, I prefer this kind of light during sunset as the light makes the colors so very rich, which makes for beautiful and breathtaking images! And I LOVE shooting family sessions. Having kids in the mix at the beach makes for some great moments and I don’t really have to do much other than let the family be themselves. The Junkroski’s made our session so easy….this is why we love what we do!

Thanks Pat, Isa, Chiara and Julian…you guys rock!
