In the trees (St. John's Newfoundland Photographer)

This is a session from the fall. Why I have not scanned it is based only on my irritation with the scanner and has nothing to do with these images.

I loved this session! It was set up as a gift for Grandma. Images with Grandma and the boys.

I was happy to pull up and see wonderful trees and land. I was greeted by the delightful older boy who came out and showed me around. The rest of the gang were equally great. One of the nicest families I have met in a long long time. As a result it was a favorite session that had me struggling to chose just a few to scan. ;)



Hammock and holga.



Hammock and not a holga. :)



Baby was just starting to walk with help. He was loving it.



I may or may not have tricks to getting kids to open up. If I do, and I'm not saying that's true, this guy might have been trying to figure me out. I'm not saying that he was. ;)



Mom jumped in a few. This driveway had me wishing I'd drive to end of it to find my own little house.

I Wish I had a Little Red Box . . .

Sing along . . .

I wish I had a little red box
to put my best friends in
I'd take them out and go
kiss, kiss, kiss
and put them back again . . .

Can you hear me? I am an excellent singer of kids songs. I know many many many. That particular song captivated this little guy to no end. In face it was the only thing that made him sit still.



He was a firecracker and his energy provided me with a favorite image.



The session was really for little brother. Isn't he a handsome baby? I think so.

Hey it's Michelle from CooChiCoo!

CooChiCoo, a unique boutique for moms, infants and toddlers, is located at 655 Tosail Rd. Inside you will find all the great stuff they carry, a nice sized display of my work, and behind the counter you will often find the owner, Michelle.

Michelle just had her second baby and I was happy to do some updated family portraits for her. Here they are!

Superman and Barbie in the suds

I wanted to share a quick Holga shot of my two youngest. Make that my two youngest and Barbie and Superman. ;) I love that despite being almost 5 years apart these two love nothing more than a tandem bubble tub.

Big rock and baby brother

Right in the center of Topsail Beach, partially submerged when the tide is in, there is the best rock that can rival any rock on any beach in the world. I really think it was placed there for pregnant moms to recline whilst being photographed, there is no other explanation.





After baby came I went to their home to meet him. Here he is very sweet and alert.



He is really settled in to his role as the baby brother. Here he is barely a week old and already pulling ears and teasing big brother.



This was my favorite from the session. Sibling love. So so sweet.

Halloween

As I threw away the last of the sticky suckers this morning it occurred to me that I did not post our Halloween this year.

One Clown.



One Hanna Montana.



One Spiderman.



One dead runner.



boo. :)

CooChiCoo Contest Winner

This lucky Mom was the winner of our recent draw for a free session at CooChiCoo . She chose a session for her new baby boy, who was just about 5 months when we did the session.



The funny face.



Most babies this age are all about their Mommy and this guy was no exception. I liked the scene of her soothing him in his crib better than the resultant solo portraits in the crib. ;)



I also got two new Holgas that day. Fresh out of the box for this shoot. I still need to test without flash, but so far so good. I also thought this was an interesting look at the same scene with two different cameras (one 35mm with a 35mm lens and a Holga TLR.)



Eventually he napped. It's hard work being a baby!
