When he's not busy being exuberantly enthralled by everyone around him, the multi-talented Micah also enjoys "reading"...

music...

and things he knows adults don't want him to play with!

Even my husband doesn't get this excited when he has total and complete access to our TV remote...

I'm kind of a sucker for baby feet - so small, yet so mobile!

After playing around the house for a while, Micah and his family took the show on the road and headed over to the local park. There was this giant plastic bubble that was part of the playground equipment - it proved to be of particular interest to Micah, and to me as well because it was just so - cool!

Boy in a Bubble!

Micah plays with his uncle

Last but not least, a photograph of Micah with his family. Micah's parents and uncle were as enjoyable to work with as Micah was. They really got into the spirit of things, which helped me create some fun family photos for them.

Well, there are tons more entertaining photos from my afternoon with Micah that I wanted to blog, but I realize I just need to STOP! It's so hard sometimes...

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!

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!

Father and Daughter...

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!
