Growing....

Remember this pretty lady?

She recently lost a lot of weight....in the form of a beautiful baby boy. Introducing Gavin....



This was definitely the most challenging session I've done so far. This little guy did not want to sleep at all. But I think we're pretty lucky to have gotten so many with his pretty eyes.

Don't worry Hannah, I still want to be your friend. :)

Challenging is good for me, because it makes me see how much I need to grow as a photographer.


I was talking to Ashishs' mom, telling her that I'm all self taught and that I haven't felt so far that I've needed to take any classes. I've changed my mind....there's still so much I need to learn. About my camera, about working with my clients, about myself as a photographer.


I think it's easy to get comfortable doing what you're familiar with, but I can't expect to grow if I'm doing the same thing all the time.


I know we didn't get everything you wanted Hannah, and it was frustrating for all of us.



But, I do think we got quite a few that you're going to be able to cherish for a really long time. Congratulations on your new addition. Thanks for letting me capture this special time in your familys' life.
