Something about this one I love. So sweet.

This family mirrors my own. Two sweet girls and then a rowdy boy. We are family twins.

Kitchen Table
Here is a superfluous blog post due to needing a break from client photos. You know you love your work when you take a break from work to do something exactly the same as work. :)
The other day I ordered a new finder for my Bronica etrsi. Nevermind that I have three types already, I wanted a waist level finder. New piece of a camera means a quick roll of film to make sure all is operational. Being lazy I just used the face of whomever happened to be sitting at my kitchen table which in this case was my Aunt Neet who came over to use my computer and my kids friend, who came over to play.
I should really start a kitchen table series. The light is best at the kitchen table. Okay I am. I just started.
The good news is that it focuses great. I find it easy to use, easier than the prism finder, which I hate and never use. My usual is the sport finder but I'll use the waist level finder for a while, until I get sick of horizontal orientation.
She had to look up something.
She was stressed.
She had to make faces:
She was not stressed at all.

Baby Boy
7 years ago I photographed their wedding.
Then they moved far away.
Then they visited with their new baby and I photographed them again and met their sweet boy.
I love what I do.
A wedding image from long ago when I still did weddings. I was into Holga then.
And baby makes three!! Hey look - I'm still into Holga!
They ordered a session book so I will share it here. This little guy had 100 expressions, I am sure he is going to grow up to be a character!!
(You are looking at the book layout. Each (except the first and last) is a two page spread.)

Maternity and Newborn
Hello to you! I am trying to get caught up on blogging but it is not easy. Between printing in the darkroom and shooting and printing and developing film and printing . . and my kids and house and husband and self . . . blogging can get lost in the shuffle. I do have a some session books to make and these I make digitally so voila - files to share!!
One of my most popular offerings is the Maternity and Newborn session. You get a slightly reduced fee for booking both at the same time and in exchange you get a maternity session at the end of your pregnancy and a newborn session just after baby arrives. We then have one proofing meeting where we review all the proofs from both sessions.
This session was a wonderful example and this beautiful (!!) Mother has agreed to let me use the entire session book as a sample. I am thrilled and the book has already been sent to print and as soon as it gets back I will share it with you all.
In the meantime here are a few sample photos.
I did have to put my own Holga spin on it though. ;)
Holga.
In few weeks I'll share the entire book which will also be a nice chance to see an entire session.

This type of shot was requested and I was happy to oblige.

Hey it's a baby!! Welcome to the world handsome man.

Newborns are like Jello!
I only have a few spots left for Christmas and I typically book out 4-6 weeks.
The exception is a newborn. A newborn is only a newborn for a very short time, a few weeks at best.
I can always fit in a newborn. They are like Jello - there is always room for Jello.
If you call me when you are in labour or shortly after - I promise you I will fit you in with 10 days. This does not apply after your baby is three weeks old.
Hint: A session makes a really really good baby shower present. ;)
