Baby Gabriel Photo Shoot

This is my first semi-newborn photo shoot. Beautiful baby Gabriel was 3-5 weeks in these photos. I wanted to get some shoots while he was sleeping, it was not easy. We tried everything. Finally after rocking, eating, peeing and pooping, he was out. Wasn’t he a little angle? There’s something about a sleeping baby… so peaceful.

 

and now, wide-awake! How cute!! Ready to show some personality.

and a couple more of the in- between.

 

I love taking photos of babies hands and feet, because they just grow too fast, got to remember how tiny they once were.   

The last photo was from my experiment with a cocoon. However Gabriel wouldn’t stay asleep in there, there’s the only non-squirmy shoot. He almost looked like he was sleeping, he was actually faking it, hehe… pretty good acting skill.

My First Maternity Photo Shoot

I finally got to do maternity photos, and this was no everyday maternity photos. My model Alley and her husband Ryan both serves in the air force, and I get to shoot her photos on the airforce base. We tried a lot of different things, all the photos turned out amazing.

Alley did a very good job. It was pretty natural for her looking good for the photos. Alley’s husband was so patient with us, and didn’t mind the waiting at all. You can definitely see his fun characters from this photo.  

I made a little slide show for them, everyone who’s seen it all loved it, and a couple of them even got a little teary. I hope you guys are going to enjoy this one as well.

I think this has been my best work so far. They are not just beautiful images, but so much more behind them. I’m so lucky to have this opportunity to work with this fun and inspirational couple. And it’s very cool to get a close look at these wonderful people who put their lives on the line to protect our country. Here are a few my favorites from the shoot if you are not equipped to watch the video.

 

 

 

 

 

Maternity Photo Session at the Nellis

We just did this amazing session at the Nellis Air Force Base, it was so much fun. Alley was so good at modeling and her husband was really funny and patient. It was extremely windy this afternoon, but I think it worked to our advantage.

I have a teaser for you guys tonight, we took this at the military gas station, I love the retro look of the pumps. Alley certainly has embraced well in the beauty of being pregnant. I just love this image.

More photos to come….
