Baby Devin – Infant portrait

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:52:57 +0000

Baby Devin joined us in this in this world a week ago and I had an amazing opportunity to capture him at three weeks old. No flash, no surprises, just natural sunlight and some parents that love him. These new parents have no idea what is ahead of them, and that’s the most amazing part of it all. I had a great time listening to them talk about their experiences at the hospital and all of the new things they are learning already about parenthood. We had to take a break from shooting due to a gift in the diaper, and dad was the one that took the baby away to change him. This boy has some amazing parents and he has no idea how lucky he is.

I’m an award winning photographer!

I was nervous. Not sure why, the decision had already been made and the envelopes were in Reggie’s hands. Reggie, the executive director of the Orion Art Center. I submitted three pieces to the show last week and was hoping for at least a repeat of last year’s honorable mention. The theme was “Images of summer,” and I had three of my favorite images of summer submitted. There I was with my wife and children waiting for the names of the winners to be called. The first honorable mention name was called. Not me. The second honorable mention name was called. Again, not me. I could feel my face getting warmer. Third place went to the most beautiful black and white photograph of two children’s faces just above the water wearing goggles. Not me…..again. Second place went to a photograph by the amazing artist Bill Dwyer of some sandals on the beach. Yes, bill is not me. I immediately thought, no, it couldn’t be me. Then Reggie told a story that sounded very familiar about the photo contest and a particular conversation that we had had in the past. She called my name and a ribbon was placed on my photograph. It was me. I am elated beyond belief and excited to be honored amongst such amazing photographic talent. Here is a photograph of my award winning photo:

1st Place!

Here’s me with my award.

Lifestyle Portraits in Rochester Park with Jacob

Lifestyle Portrait Session with Jacob at Rochester Park

Meet Jacob, a curious 1 1/2 year old that loves to play with rocks, water, and anything outdoors. The Rochester municiple park was the perfect place for us to capture him where he is the most comfortable. I spent two hours photographing him while he explored the world around him.

We tried as long as we could to stay away from the river because that’s where he tired to go first. Jacob loves the water and rocks. After a run through the grass and some playing in the playground, the shoes came off for an exploration of the river.

I had an amazing time meeting Jacob and following him as he explored the world.

Rainy Day Portrait Session

Last week we had some untimely rain right in the middle of the rain delay retake. We made the best of it and it turns out that rain and overcast skies bring out the richest colors.

Meet Kelly and Samer. He’s a member of the Detroit Pistons flight crew and she’s a pre-med student. Together they make the most charming couple and we had a great time exploring the grounds of the Meadowbrook Mansion today.

I’ll begin with the last shot of the day. It’s my absolute favorite.
