I met Cynthia through an email I sent out, looking for people who would be interested in birth photography. She is due in just a few weeks (and I am really excited to do a birth photography session with her), but she wanted to get some maternity pictures as well before it’s too late.
They are from Brazil and her mom came just a few days ago to help with the new baby. I wish I had been able to get more pictures of her mom. She was busy caring for their little guy (who was having a hard time and so was also absent from most of the pictures). They are such a sweet family. Check it out:

March 22, 2010Backlighting and Sunflare
March 18, 2010Backlighting has always scared me a little. It seems so difficult to get the correct exposure on the other parts of the image. This morning my youngest found a ladybug on the sidewalk in front of our house and it seemed like a perfect opportunity for me to experiment a little.
The sun was already kind of high in the sky so I had to use a pretty wide angle in most shots to get any sun flare. I was also laying prostrate on the sidewalk, blocking the path for several students on their way to campus. I think it was worth it though. What do you think?

Grant
March 12, 2010Look at those eyes! I can’t wait to get more of this little guy. Out of maybe 15 pictures I took, this was the only one that wasn’t fuzzy. Capturing kids between 12-24 months usually involves a lot of running around but I’ve got skills, thanks to my own 22-month old.

Note to potential clients: don’t get scared. I only took 15 pictures because Grant is my neighbor and I begged to borrow him for a minute. A real photography session would last much longer and would garner many more photos.
