This afternoon I had the distinct pleasure of playing around with a very old soul two week old baby.  I invited him up to my new studio so I could play around with my lights and try out a few things.  His mom was a super sport about it all since she was immediately peed on….and because she’s my friend….well….the show must go on, right?  I guess I should have all my “models” be sure to bring a change of clothes along to their session!  A big thanks also goes out to my new friend Annie who helped out by taking notes on the lighting set-ups we used.  (yes, Jane…I’ve finally got some notes from a shoot!)

Here are a few of my favorite shots:  this first one just makes me say, “how old IS this guy?”  He looks like he’s been here for forever.

The other most amazing thing about this guy….at two weeks old he was pushing up on his hands and holding his head up and then…..voila!  He rolled over!  We all clapped and cheered…and stood closer to the ottoman!

okay, I just have to say this again….I truly have the best job in the world!

Okay, so I don’t quite have the flow of this blogging thing yet!  The new studio has kept me pretty busy and I’m trying to figure out when to get these blog posts in as well!  Being busy is a good, good thing–don’t get me wrong there!  A few weeks ago I had the most amazing week.  It began with a great newborn/family session in the new studio:

Soon I hope to have a slideshow feature so you can see more of the images from this shoot—it’s a great example of the capabilities of the new space.

Two days later I got to photograph the amazing birth of Evan, a 10.5 pound baby! Fast and beautiful (especially since I was using my new light with the “beauty dish“) It’s always an honor and a priveledge to be so close to the beginning of life.

And to finish the week off, I was asked to photograph my good photographer buddy Jane Lavendar’s union ceremony.  It took place on the top of the bluff at Capen Park at sunrise.  It was a beautiful ceremony full of love, friendship, kleenex at the appropriate moments and SONG!  All day long I found myself singing the ending song:  “I can see clearly now, the rain has gone…”

Here’s Jane and Sharon singing along:

What a week!  I think I have the best job in the world!
