This little princess is not even a week old yet. After about two weeks (less for full-term babies), newborns’ facial features begin to change and they lose their curliness, so I was so excited to take portraits of this little one in all of her newborn loveliness!

I always make room in my schedule to make sure I can capture newborn photos at just the right time! They are done at the clients’ home, and I bring minimal equipment: a beanbag, a reflector, some blankets, and my camera bag. I do keep a light in the car in case we can’t find a good window, but usually I don’t have to use that.

Robin Eggs

A not-so-smart robin made a nest in my hanging basket. I about had a heart attack when I dumped in some water and a robin flew out!

Rockwood State Park

May 30, 2009

I feel so fortunate to live so close to such a gorgeous park! Evan and I went hiking for a bit yesterday.

I was using my 200mm here…so not too close!

This is a 100% crop, but check out the firefly on his head! Yuck!

Some kids were there fishing on a school field trip. Evan sat and watched them for awhile.

And we hiked until I saw a snake cross the trail…then it was ALL OVER (for me…Evan wanted to get closer).
