Baby On Board - Part 1

My good friend Dawn and her husband Mike are expecting a baby boy at the end of the month, and I had the privilege of taking some maternity photos for them last weekend. Once again, the session proved to be a wonderful learning lesson. Although we had hoped to take some photos outside - the weather was not very cooperative, so I got a good taste of taking 'natural light' portraits inside for a change.

We are going to try again for a session outdoors when the rain/snow stops flying - but for now, here are a few from the indoor shoot...

2 dogs + a 4-year old = CHALLENGE!

A couple of weekends ago I met up with Carla, her son Shaun and their two rowdy dogs. It was a pretty dreary morning but Shaun and the pups were full of energy which made for a pretty challenging shoot. It was definitely a good "technical" learning experience for me working with the darker conditions and fast moving objects - but I think I was able to turn out a few good shots!

A huge thanks to Carla for helping me get some great experience. This shoot definitely provided me with a reality check of how much I have yet to learn and also some good tips on how to work with dogs AND small children! =)
