7 days new. awww.

OK, I am wayyyyyy behind blogging. I lost my blogging flow. I'm trying to get it back. No excuses, just life. 2011 is throwing me a few curve-balls...must be the super moon or something!
Let's get the ball rolling with Cindy's shoot for her beautiful newborn...and her gorgeous self. Looking great for a Mum with a newborn for sure. Fresh faced and bushy tailed!

I've known Cindy for a couple of years now. I am glad she called me for a shoot! Cindy is a trooper. She has 2 older girls and a newborn and a deployed husband. WOW. Mum and Dad were in town for the birth, so I got them in a shot, we were really pushing it with the light, it was a rainy grey day, but we did OK! I utilized the best window in the house! Cindy's parents were so nice and delightful to talk to. It was just like chilling out with family really. It helped too that Mum is dutch so we had that European connection going on! I am glad to say that Cindy booked 2 shoots and the next blog post will be the family session. But here is one that I grabbed a the end of the baby sesh!

My fave part about faces. The eyes! Look at those eyes! This is the face of determination! Little Miss Z. is the double of Daddy. And I am glad to say he is now safely home!

Some portraits...

Hanging out!

One of my faves too!

I had just got my micro (macro) 105 2.8 lens when I did this shoot, so I figured I would give it a run for it's money. Here's some shots I like! It's a great lens for Macro and for portraits too...

In BW too...

Pudgy baby hand! Notice the creamy background of Z's face? That's the mark of a great lens shot wide open at 2.8 (which I needed for the light that day!)

One more 'straight outta camera' to show that whole shoots aren't always rainbows and butterflies...'Mummy, I'm hungry, feed me nowwwwwwww!'

But, I tell you what, they are always real and babies run the show that's for sure. And that's how it should be! I enjoy these baby shoots (including the crying offshoots) even though I am nervous before every shoot! No peeing on me today. Success! Thank you Reiter Family, It was a pleasure for sure!
