Newborn Photography: Baby H

Mama J and Baby H said that I could post a few photos of our little newborn session we did awhile back, so here goes!

My best friend gave birth to the most beautiful little girl on April 26, 2010. I was just dying to take photograph her, so when J asked me to take a few photos for them for a birth announcement, I was beyond excited.

She was supposed to be fast asleep while we were doing the shoot, so we could do cute little angelic-style shots and move her around with her really noticing, but she wasn’t having any of it. “First photoshoot? Of course I’m going to be awake for it!”

So, we made do. Here’s what resulted from our shoot – which by the way, was cut short by J’s little dog running away! We think he was jealous of all of the love for Baby H and wanted some attention of his own, poor guy. Alright, the pictures! Feedback is, of course, always welcome. :)

Okay, so maybe she did fall asleep for a few shots. I love this girl to death! I hope to take many more photos of her, and maybe do another shoot when she’s around 6 months. For practice, of course. ;) I was so delighted to take these shots for my friends and their first born, and I am just pleased as punch that they love them as much as I do. How cute is she, fast asleep on her Dad’s hockey jersey? Congratulations once again, you guys, on your little princess.

Maternity Photography: Baby H

I am not taking up photography full time or anything, but I do enjoy taking photos for friends once in awhile. In my latest trip to my hometown of Powell River, I took some photos of my best friend, Jerra (and her husband Dale), who was 36 weeks pregnant at the time.

I put together some of my favourite shots into a little collage.

I can’t wait until Baby H arrives, and I get to meet her finally. Judging by her parents, she’s going to be drop-dead gorgeous! I could have taken photos all day. It was so beautiful out, and Jerra is unbelievably photogenic. And that is just the cutest belly ever.

The rest of the photo set is here. Feel free to take a gander and give me some feedback as well, as I am just learning by doing here with the whole photography thing.
