Photographing babies in a lifestyle method.
Baby photography is not as easy as it might seem. The best time to take pictures is after their feeding, but then of course you have to pair that with good natural daylight. I wanted to do this shoot in a lifestyle genre of photography as opposed to a really posed baby shoot, where the baby is asle[...]
My obsession with the Canon fisheye and the 85mm lenses
Honestly I'm not sure what photographer wouldn't be obsessed with the 85mm L series lense. It has a super sharp focus on the subject and melts the background into butter (assuming your aperture is wide open, of course).
The 85mm lense is amazing for portraits because you are still far enough fro[...]
Curly Wonder
I photographed Sophie when I was in DC this July. I love the grungy (although blurred out) backdrop, which contrasts with her angelic look and the white dress.
From an early age, most kids are conditioned to give a big smile when they see the camera. My goal is to shoot in between the moments[...]
Strong genes
During my recent vacation to Hilton Head beach, I got to photograph Isaiah (and his dad).
I love how every pose they got into, they looked identical from the back. And that is hard to do when the size and degree of being clothed varies so greatly.
The ball chase.
Holding on.
A little b[...]
Sophie in a teal sea
Here is Sophie. She just turned 1. I loved the vibrant colors of her grandmother's apartment, as well as the amazing shade of teal that her father and uncle were wearing - I'm pretty sure that was not planned. Here are some favorites from the birthday party.
Would not let the bagels go for most [...]
Ladies, here I come
Meet Arthur. He doesn't speak yet, but is definitely ready to do some flirting with a lady photographer (me).
Ready to get rough on the court. I was a little intimidated by the toughness, but I had to get over that. :P
Love the sunshine in the back of the mother and child. It's coming from [...]
Photographing one of my favorite toddlers
Whenever I visit Boston I make a trip to my friend's house. My favorite subject in the house to photograph is her son. At age 4, he speaks only Russian with an adorable lisp that I would pay for on a per-item basis. He's gotten very comfortable with me and my big camera, as well as the flashes t[...]
Yay Photoshop
Today I took a Photoshop class at B&H. The guy spoke at 95 miles an hour, but somehow I managed to get bits of useful information from him, and add it to the Photoshop skills that I already knew. Here is the before and after picture of an adorable boy I photographed at a wedding a year ago. N[...]
