Happy Birthday Leticia!

I first met Blake and Tatiane in August of 2007 when I photographed Blake's sister's wedding (Marc and Jamie). Later that same year, I went on to photograph Blake and Tatiane's wedding. And then in May of 2009 I met Leticia, their beautiful newborn daughter. I had the pleasure of photographing Leticia for a year and wrote about her as I presented my Baby's First Year photography package.

Well... another year has passed. I'm happy to say that I had a chance to photograph Leticia again. And at the same time, I'm sad to say that it may be my last time. You see, Blake just got a wonderful job in Texas. And they left for Texas the day after our photo shoot. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see them again.

So Blake, Tatiane and Leticia .. it's been a wonderful 4 years of getting to know you and getting to participate in your lives. I wish you all the best in your new adventures. Thank you, I'll miss you.

Now here are a few of my favorites from last week's photo session:











And as you can see, baby #2 is on its way!

Baby's First Year

At the urging of a good friend (and former wedding customer), I've put together a new program for my photography entitled "Baby's First Year".

Baby's first year comes in two flavors:

Package #1 - Monthly
Monthly photos, from newborn to 1 year old. Each month a new photo session. Each month a new 8x10" photo. And each month a CD with that month's photos (4x6 size - 1200x1800 pixels). All of this comes at a cost of $594 for the year (equating to $49.50 per month), with half down at the beginning. The rest can be paid in installments.

Package #2 - Bi-monthly
Same as Package #1, but every other month instead. The cost is $396 for the year (equating to $66 per month), again half down at the beginning and the rest can be paid in installments.

Also, don't forget the possibility of Maternity Pictures.

Meet My Family

This is us... I don't get a chance to do much other than "candid shots" of my own family, but last Sunday the opportunity for Family Portraits arose and so we went for it.

This first shot was done by using a radio transmitter to fire my camera. I hopped in the back of the family and told everyone to look at the camera. AMAZINGLY... they did it. I have a hard enough time when I'm back behind the camera trying to get everyone to look at the camera at once. But here's the proof ... no head-swapping here, this is exactly how I shot the image:



After the big family group we decided to get a few pictures of each member of the family.

My wife, Marilyn, and I:


(yes, the wind is blowing ... we had a fan running to keep us cool - it's a small studio after all!)

Brandy and her kids:



Cassie and David:
