Will and Carter have moms that are best friends, so they wanted to have their children photographed together. Will is 10 months and Carter is 5 months. Carter doesn’t really sit up yet, but using some creativity, we got him to appear to sit up. I really enjoyed spending time with these children!
Molly, 77, and her mother Helen, 99, live together in Florida. Helen will turn 100 this July, and is mentally and physically in good shape. Helen emigrated to this country from Greece in an arranged marriage at 18 years old. I have been considering doing a photo project on people over 85/90 in excellent shape. Any comments or ideas are welcome. Is this an interesting idea?
I am really enjoying working with Seattle families to produce photographs of their infants and children in their homes. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for moms and dads with new babies to have me come to them. I also photographed this little cutie before he was born, as I created a pregnancy portrait of his mom, Karey. I am preparing for a show at Birth and Beyond in Madison Valley in Seattle which begins on May 1. Very exciting!
There was poo, there was pee, there was poo, there was spit up and then there was the moment. Ok, there was a lot more pee than that, but it was a wonderful experience shooting my first newborn.
