how much fun was this!!!

I went out on a photo shoot with a photography practice group that a buddy of mine (Andy Andrews) organizes for photographers of all levels. Anyway, it was at this mountain preserve and we were working on sunsets and the like. I had to leave when the group was done to meet some old friends that had come into town, but some of the group that decided to stay were asking if I wanted to go to this tunnel in the park to do some further shooting.... "Naw man I can't. I gotta go." "Are you sure?" they said. "It shouldn't be too much longer and it should be pretty cool." "Naw" I said, "I really gotta go." Besides, it's a tunnel. Woo hoo! Right? Well...........I should have stayed! The shots they were getting were way cool. So I talked to Andy later telling him that I was going to have to go back there and get some shots. So he got a model arranged and I met him out there. Here is some of the stuff we captured. I hope you like it. I sure do.

Little Shyla Rae

Welcome to the world Shayla Rae. Shayla's Mommy told me "good luck" as Shayla wouldn't sit still for anybody especially on her tummy. But to everyones pleasant surprise, she hung in there like a champ. Just a few wipes of drool and we were on our way. Such a pleasure to photograph such a beautiful baby. Funny thing was, on her tummy she didn't move at all, but when we put here on her butt to get some feet pictures, that was when she got a little nervous and just kicked and kicked. Sweet thing.

Gotta Love Them Babies.

I get alot joy from taking photos. But nothing brings greater joy than being able to capture little baby moments. So when a dear friend called me and asked if I would mind taking her little ones photo, I jumped at the chance. Like most children sessions, the kids always look at me... then MKom and want to know who the heck the bald guy with the camera is and why does he keep making faces at me? And what the heck is with the falsetto voice? But after a half hour or so they always come around and start to relax. Let this be a lesson to all of us photog's....always allow a half hour or so to allow the little ones a chance to get comfortable around you. They will relax and you can snap away at magic. So I present to you little Teagan. While I was there I shot a few frames of her big sister Brielle.
