Trainee

Yep, I like to start them young...

This little guy is in training to be my new photo assistant. His special skills? Opening and closing my camera bag, and sticking his adorable little hands right on the glass of my lenses to give them that oh-so-smudgy, arty, soft focus effect.... He's perfect!

Micah has to be one of the happiest babes I've ever photographed. The sheer joy he experiences when exploring his little world is quite contagious - I've thoroughly enjoyed the process of both photographing him, and editing through the resulting images. In fact, I've been laughing my backside off for days...

More to come!

Desi - Part 1

Chubby little cheeks, huge brown eyes and a dimple to boot – every time I see Desi I’m just dying to grab a camera and take pictures. I mean, my trigger finger literally goes into spasms. (kind of embarrassing, actually)


A few weekends ago I got my wish – me, my camera and an afternoon in the presence of complete and undeniable baby cuteness. I know, it's a tough job I've got, isn't it? Well, someone's got to do it...


I've actually had the pleasure of photographing Desi ever since her in-vitro days, so I thought I'd do a Part 1 and a Part 2 for my blog entry, with Part 1 being a brief, visual walk down memory lane. So here goes:


Desi happily gestating away in Anna's baby-filled belly:

I don't know what Anna and Gerrad were thinking about when I shot this photo, but I was thinking "Wow, your lives are so gonna change within the next few weeks!"

And a welcome change it was - here's the star of the show at the age of 3 months. Geez, she was so...small!

Sooo... without further ado we move on to a picture from our latest photo session:


9 months have brought plenty of changes - no more lying down for this little girl! She's up on her feet and posing under one of the gorgeous white roses her talented mother has painted on her nursery wall:

Anna, by the way, has an equally talented cousin named Erin, and together they created Mixed Palette, the graphic design studio responsible for the kick-a** new website design I'll be unveiling within the next few weeks. I can't wait!!!


Okay, that's Part 1. Part 2 comes, well... later!

Yep, we wore her out. Hey, it's not easy being a supermodel at such a young age! More photos to come...
