newborn portraits

Mar 23, 2008

If you want to get technical about it, Baby Mallory is still minus one week old. She was born a month shy of her due date, and when I first saw her when she was two days old, I only got to see her chin because she was all covered up in the NICU. It was wonderful to get to see all of her this time around and photograph her cute self.

I have so many favorites that it’s a little bit silly and almost impossible for me to start weeding them down. Here are a few of the sneak peeks I made up for her mommy, though! (I feel particularly proud of these shots because I knit the little wrap she is in.)

This next one has a little bit of a vintage feel. I have been playing around with post-processing a few photos here and there differently, and I love the look on this one:

Scrapbook Saturdays

Mar 22, 2008

Here is recent project and one from Christmas. (The benefit of not sharing these for the past few months is that I have tons of older projects I can sneak in here during my not-so-productive weeks.) :)

Will got a 3 ft tall giraffe from my grandmother for his birthday (best present ever, Koko), and loved it so much that he brought it to bed with him.

I had plans to share more, but messing with the blog ate up my morning and now I’m off to photograph a newborn. Hurray for squishy new babies!

if things look a little weird, it's temporary.

Mar 21, 2008

I’ll be making some improvements to the blog this weekend. If things look weird, broken, ugly, or overwhelmingly orange, it’s temporary.

(Update: Saturday @ 11am — the basic overall structure seems to be all better. We’ll be making a few changes to the slideshow up top and maybe a few other changes, but most of it is done, so let me know what you think! Do you like the size, is it loading quickly enough, etc?)

Photoshop Friday is up.
