Attn. professional photographers:

We’ve opened up FOUR more workshops for members of Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers this summer! (See that link for more info.) And now, speaking of workshops, gotta run to get the house ready for our next group to arrive tomorrow! It has been a blast meeting photographers from all over the world!

[We had a huge response to our model call and are currently closed for applications. Thanks!]

Mixing fresh w/ the classics.

This baby girl (and her mama) had the most beautiful complexion ever. And I remember it was a BEAUTIFUL day when we had her session. I loved being able to go outdoors and soak in the fresh air. I don’t think she made a peep the entire time (babies love being outside, too). I loved that we were able to mix in the classic, simple black and white images with the fresh, more colorful images…

(Most who know me know that I don’t typically do newborns in tutu’s but I have to admit, I love how it turned out here.)

snapshots of family life.

We got amazing pics at his newborn session, but these just crack me up! Every time I’d get an image perfectly composed, his big sis wanted to be part of the action. Not sure if he loves My Little Pony as much as she does ;-).

snuggle bug.

Probably one of the most emotional newborn sessions I’ve ever photographed…and for no other reason except that everyone’s hearts were bursting with love and joy…tears and tissues abound.

Newborn session in studio

Okay, I’m going to go a bit out of order here because I’ve been *dying* the share the images from my first newborn studio session! This was from the demonstration I did for the FIRST Pinkle Toes 4 Photographers workshop earlier this month. So much was going wrong for me that day (my mom/assistant was sick, my camera broke, the weather was yuck), but this little baby girl and her family were oh so right! After a bottle and a few minutes of rocking and shhhhhhing, she was putty in my hands.

Just look at that smile while looking up at her daddy! She seriously has me thinking I could start offering newborn sessions in studio….just maybe…

A gift.

I cried the day I got the e-mail that her mommy and daddy were expecting. We had such a connection at our first session and I had always longed to see them again as parents. This little angel was so sweet and beautiful. And, she also let me work in her daddy’s canoes (wasn’t sure how I was going to pull that one off, LOL). I so look forward to watching her grow up!

[P.S. Monday is the last day to VOTE. Did I mention only a few votes separate 1st and 2nd places right now? Eeep.]

Rocks.

As physically and emotionally and creatively drained I am this evening, I’m up late with my heart full of joy and appreciation. Of all the things that have gone wrong this week (broken camera, cold rain, and a very sick mommy), I am SO grateful for the many, many things that went perfectly right, including:

1. Adorable baby #1.

2. Adorable baby #2.

3. And a group of incredible women who have been my rocks over these past few days. There is so much talent here. So much personality. So much passion for the art of photography. I’m so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with you. Thank you to my girls of the “Wawa Sisterhood.”

Confession: I have an irrational fear of toddlers.

I’m not lying. Even my own. And anytime I see that I’m scheduled to do a session with a newborn baby + a toddler, by blood starts to run cold. I’m a chicken. That’s fine. I can admit that.

Buuuuuuuuut, then there’s this:

static_uri=%2Fdarkroom%2Fmt%2Fmt%2Dstatic%2F&data=%2Fdarkroom%2Fblog%2Fblogshow%2F4d2e1c9a3bb53%2Fimage%2Etable%2Edat&slideshow=1&ssr=1&autofit=0&show_width=870&show_height=580&background_color=%23f6f6f6&thumbnail_border_thickness=2&thumbnail_border_color=%23555354&thumbnail_highlight_color=%23dc257b&thumbnail_alignment=bottom&thumbnail_width=75&thumbnail_height=75

And then I start to feel silly that I was worried about it at all. And then I wonder if all of the toddlers in the world are communicating behind the scenes to gang up on me and perhaps this was just a ploy to get me to let my guard down so they can plan their real attack. And then I just think, “Nah. Look at her face. There’s no way.”

—————————-

Tomorrow starts day one of the first run of our professional photographer workshops, so please understand if it takes longer than usual for me to respond to phone calls and e-mails. I’m so excited. The house is ready. The dish strainer is scrubbed. My computer is fired up (and *running*). I’m pumped. So excited to meet everyone and talk shop for a few days…just us girls!

(You’ll see why at the end of the slides ;-). Wow. Have I really not shared his newborn session yet?? Oh, this little man is such a blessing to his family and you won’t even believe it when you see the rest of his 3 months session!

Not to mention how much I ooohed and ahhhhed when this beauty landed on my doorstep (I may or may not have petted it repeatedly before sending it to its owner):

Working on his 3 month album as we speak. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out!

[P.S. Have you voted?]
